Project Update: Tariff Updates Part 2

Good News! The tariffs have been lowered to 30%. 

The Updated Production Schedule is as follows
  • May 23rd-Pinecone
  • June 6th-Maverick
  • June 20th- Lilyhop
  • July 7th-Reggie


Once Maverick arrives, I'll start locking shipping addresses for orders that don't include Lilyhop or Reggie and prepare to ship those orders. Once Lilyhop and Reggie arrive, I'll start locking and shipping those orders.


THE STICKERS ARE IN HAND! The fight I had to do for these...

Stay Tooned! We are almost there!

Project Update: End of April Updates

In spite of the Tariff Nonsense, I have some good news!

Wackford is in hand tariff free (as far as I'm aware of). 

After a huge back and forth with our sticker manu and the threat of having to do a charge back with them, they finally have them ready to ship. I will be watching them closely on this one. 

Tariffs are still in effect at a minimum of 145%. I'm still monitoring this on the daily so that I can put the rest of these pins through production as soon as possible. 

We still have 2 surveys incomplete and one pay over time incomplete. While I like the pay over time options being flexible to pledgers, it really puts a delay in finalizing costs and productions. Not sure if I will do this next Pintopia but we will see. Here's hoping the tariffs will be over by then. 

Till next time, Stay Tooned!

Project Update: Tariff Updates

I'm not happy, to say the least...

With the remaining pins that still need to finish manufacturing and the 145%-245% tariff that's in place, $2000-$2800 for manufacturing is clearly above what has been raised by you wonderful backers and what I can feasibly pay for out of pocket. This hurts all small businesses and we're trying to do what we can here. I was given the option to add a tariff fee to the incomplete pins, but I don't want everyone to pay more for an issue that is not in your control or mine.

Pin production is on hold and therefore NO ORDERS WILL BE FULFILLED until these tariffs are removed, reduced, or something changes.

I spent some time coming to this decision over everything that is going on right now. I'm working on going to a different sticker manufacturer after my go-to sticker manu refuses to refund me for the ordered stickers, nor produce my stickers. There's always something...


I wish it weren't all bad news.

Project Update: 04/15 Updates

Back from Furry Fiesta and had a good time assisting my friend vending.

Lets talk tariffs...unfortunately. 

So tariffs are an additional 135% on top of manufacturing and delivery prices. So for a 50 Qty order of one pin design that would be $600 minimum. We still have 4 more pins that need to manufacture. 

My manu is holding off on manufacturing Pinecone, Maverick, our Collab Pin and Reggie until we both get the all clear from this mess blowing over. I was hoping this would be quick but the Moron in Cheif's Tariff Policy is an attempt to hurt small businesses. The only options are to
  • Pay the insane tariff fees
  • Don't pay and they destroy the pins at port
  • Hold off on manufacturing 

We will continue to fight back in any way we can. So we will keep you updated during the manufacturing freeze. If this doesn't end by June then I will have to consider alternatives. I hate that this is what we're dealing with... 

Wackford is on the way to me but I'll likely have to pay the additional $400+ to have them imported and arrive to me. 

Stickers....no update. I'm looking at a new manufacturer for that this week. I am.... Livid to say the least.


I'm sorry for a mostly negative update...I just really want to get y'alls items to you.

Project Update: Late Update

Forgive for the lateness on the updates. I had to go to the doctor recently and I am waist deep in con crunch. 

In discussion with pin manu for Pinecone. 

Stickers... They claim a 4 week backup. I'm giving until April 25th before requesting a refund. I'm sorry about all of these delays. 

Orders lock tomorrow so make sure you confirm all the items that you want and the preorders that you pledge for! 

On preorders, the items that didn't reach funding will be removed. I may manufacture them on my own at some point later in the year. 

I'll be out of town until the 15th so I'll see y'all then!
