Thanks so much for all your patience! Our pins have taken longer than expected to completed, but they have finally arrived! For the next few days, I will be grading them to make sure they are all good. I took out a few pins from all the designs for a quick look, and so far there hasn't been any problems. That is usually a good sign that the pins are good. For the magnetic pins, they work exactly how I want them to, and trust me, they look really cute in person! Here are some pictures of the pins. After I finished grading all the pins, I will post more pictures for everyone! Stickers and packaging materials are also done~ Now let's talk about shipping...
Canadian Backers As you are probably aware, Canada Post has sent a strike notice, stating that a strike may begin as early as May 23 (this coming Friday) if a resolution is not reached before the date. If you have upgraded your shipping method, then this will not affect you, as the upgraded shipping method does not use Canada Post. Your rewards will be sent as soon as I have the pins graded, and I will be charging cards soon for the shipping/ add-on. For backers who chose the standard shipping method, most likely I will not be able to ship out your rewards until we understand fully what is going on. I did read about potentially a rotating strike? I am not 100% sure what it entails, but as soon as we have more information, we will let you know. Thank you so much for your understanding.
US Backers Since, the $800 De Minimis exemption for goods made in China and Hong Kong was cancelled in early May, our pins that are made in China, is subject to tariff (30%, but this rate may change anytime) for our dear US backers when you receive your packages. The other issue we are also facing is that Canada Post will be going on strike as early as May 23rd. Since I will be using Canada Post to ship your rewards, therefore I will not be able to ship out your rewards until that get resolved as well. I will keep you updated if there are any changes or if I figured out other methods of shipping them. Thanks again for all your patience.
International Backers As soon as I finished grading the pins, I will be shipping out your rewards! Credit cards will be charged soon.
