☕ Good evening Teacups ☕ 

I have lots of amazing news to share with you today!!

FINALLY! The last two pin designs are ready to be shipped! It has been a long and stressful journey (9 months, like having a baby??) and I am so grateful to everyone who remained so patient and supportive with me 😭😭😭😭😭 we made it guys we did

The last leg of shipping is in progress and most of you would be receiving your tracking codes soon! I will try my best to complete sending everything out before flying to Sydney for Oz Comic-con on Monday, but some may have to wait a little till I am back to be completed!

Tracking codes will activate within a couple days of being scanned into the system, so do be patient if its still not available on the website! Please contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions about your parcels!

⚠️ If you received your tracking in the previous batch, now is the reminder to check if you have received your parcels and if not, do check with your nearest postal office to see if you have a missed delivery! Unclaimed parcels will be sent back to me after a few weeks!⚠️

So what have we been doing while waiting for the production to be done?
...Cooking real hard as it turns out!

⭐Learning from Sakura and Midna's experience, we are coming back more magical (and faster) with another series of Gaze pins!⭐

We have started sample production for a few designs which will be revealed at a later date, which will cut production time up to 50%. We will also commit to starting sample production as early as possible to prevent sakuraesque delays as much as possible from now on!

I'll love to know if you guys like the special-feature take on the campaign! Do let me know your thoughts 🧠
 (p.s there's a chance to win a free pin right now in the "FLASH GIVEAWAY : Guess who?" section in the survey!)

With lots of love (and finally able to sleep in peace),

2B production has also been completed and shipped!
Sakura and Midna failed quality checks again and had to be delayed again 😭😭 The timeline for those two has been shifted back another month. I would share more about the huge struggle it was to get these ladies produced once they are done, its a whole story that I can't wait to conclude ;;

Everyone else is well on their way and you should have received a tracking code!
(please email us at [email protected] if you have any difficulty tracking your parcel)

Postage may take anywhere between 3-12 weeks for international deliveries.

As it has been approximately 3 weeks since the majority of the backers here have received their tracking code, please take a minute now to check your tracking code at https://www.ezy2ship.net/

🇺🇸IMPORTANT for USA BACKERS🇺🇸 Please check with your nearest USPS office (ideally physically) if your tracking has been stuck at [Arrival at Destination Post (Country: US)], and stopped updating for a while!
Its been reported that USPS has stopped supporting tracking and the postal officers sometimes fail to deliver + do not inform the receipient to collect the parcel, and after some time sitting in the USPS office the parcel ends up getting sent back to me!
Please check the status regularly to avoid re-payment of shipping fee!

🌎IMPORTANT for EU/UK BACKERS🌎
You may be contacted by customs for tax related obligations. Do take prompt steps to clear it with the relevant authorities to prevent the parcel from being sent back. Thank you!

We have shipped most of the parcels for this campaign!
The final 10 parcels include these 3 designs, which were unfortunately impacted by difficulties in printing:
- sakura
- midna
- 2B
I sincerely apologize for the repeated delays in production timeline for these ladies🙇 They are really complicated designs unfortunately with the layering and color effects. We are aiming to finish them by the end of this month 😭😭
(I'll pay better attention to the production difficulty when designing in future to better estimate the production speed)

We have received the first batch of pins and these are currently going through inspection and packing right now! I took some pictures for you folks, please enjoy!

We would like to wait for the rest of the designs to arrive before starting the shipping process! However if your order only includes what is seen here (or only the previously produced designs) and will like to have it shipped out first, please drop us a message to let us know :)

Thank you for your patience, and that's all for today! 

With love,
