Project Update: JUNE UPDATE | USA shipping re-opened! Commencing test shipments soon.
Hello hello!
I have some good things to share! Shipping towards the US has finally resumed, meaning that I can work on getting to know the procedures to getting all eligible pledges out to the USA.
However, I can only ship them with tracked shipping with pre-paid duties and import fees that are a lot higher than I (and others) had been anticipating, meaning it'll cost me a lot more out of pocket than I thought which will lead to fulfillment taking longer than I had hoped for. 😭
Not only that, but right as shipments have finally been reopened, I've gotten a notice that there'll be possibly additional paperwork needed if a package is headed towards the USA starting July 8th. It's not wholly clear to me what this exactly is and if this even applies to me, but right now I'm waiting to see what is going to happen. I already contacted my postal carrier about this for more information, so hopefully I'll have proper answers for this soon.
This is incredibly frustrating especially since I've been waiting anxiously to ship to the US again, only to get hit with this. 🫠 I'm so sorry about this, it's outside of my control but I'm keeping a close eye on everything to the best of my abilities.

What's the plan now?
I will try and ship everything out as soon as I can, but like I said, please note that it might take longer than expected due to the pre-paid duties and import fees.
I'll try some test shipments first to try and understand how the system works and to keep an eye out on whether everything goes smoothly, then I'll slowly start building up the volume of shipments over time, so please keep an eye out for your inbox if your pledge got shipped out!
Is there a way for me to get my order sooner?
If you want your order to get shipped out sooner, the only way possible at this moment is that you email me to [email protected] with your backer or pledge number and I'll let you know the extra import fees shown to me so it can be sent over via, for example, PayPal.
Thank you so much again for your patience, I'm excited to finally get these lil sheep on the way! Please stay cool during these hotter months and don't forget to hydrate as much as possible.
With lots of love,
Swamphy
