Project Update: Shipping Update: Over 60% of orders have shipped so far!
I've been quiet over here, but that's because I've been spending all my spare time shipping pins!
As of today, over 60% of orders have already shipped. I'm chipping away at them each day. If you haven't gotten yours yet, you will soon!
If you are in the US, and you also ordered pins from Peter (my cross-collab partner), I am shipping both orders at once -- so don't be surprised to find all the pins in the same single package.
Note: Peter and I did the math in advance, and set our shipping rates for this campaign to account for the expectation that some number of backers would be getting combined shipments.
Of course we didn't know exactly how many, or who exactly, but shipping rates for a project like this are set as averages anyway -- we're not calculating live rates for every person, we're just setting simple rules and rate tiers, and hoping it all balances out overall.
In fact, rest assured that you have underpaid the true shipping cost of your order, no matter who you are or what you ordered... We know backers balk at high shipping fees, so we set them at a mid-range (or at least in my case, free for many orders) with the expectation that we will eat some of the shipping cost on every single order. That's e-commerce, baby!
