Greetings Star Seekers,

I wanted to clarify some questions that came up regarding the tariffs for USA backers. 

✨If you live outside of the USA, or if your order does NOT include pins or anything other than books or postcards, I will charge your cards on Friday. ✨(There are 27 of you) If your card is charged, it means you don't need to worry about tariffs as your order is exempt, or you live somewhere other than the USA.
 
⚠️If you arranged local pickup: email me at [email protected] or call or text me to book a pickup time!⚠️

I will ship and fulfill orders without tariffs first. 

This also gives me time to see what is happening with the lawsuit about the illegal tariffs in mid-October. (So I can give up-to-date information) 

I will add the tariffs to the pledge manager, and ask Backerkit to re-open your locked pledges. You will have the option of removing add-on items that has a tariff attached, switch your collaboration reward to a postcard instead of a pin, and see how much tariffs will be on your pledge before I charge you. 

This will happen closer to the end of October, and I will make an update once these open. You will also get an email to complete your survey again.

It is my sincere hope that the court deems the removal of the de minimus illegal, and that by then, this will all have been a nightmare we can laugh hysterically about instead. 

Hopefully this clarifies the most common questions. If you are unsure whether you might have tariffs added to your pledge, you can email me at [email protected]

Or wait. If you aren't charged by Friday, then you probably have a pin or something else in your pledge. For the detailed explanation, you can find my update here.

I will leave you with this meme my husband sent to me today since it seems most appropriate:

Once again, thank you for trusting me with you pledges and support. You mean the world to me. 

Yours in art,
Therena
