The suspense is killing me

So, 

I've been watching the same tracking number all month and I was so excited to see it was out for delivery. I have 29 cartons coming and we were ready to receive them and ship them out to you. I even wrote an update with the good news but decided to wait to post it. I watched all day and then a little unmarked mini van pulled up and a lady got out with one box. I asked about the other 28 and she was like, uh.... She called her supervisor and then they called around. Apparently they're in LA and they just shipped one. Huh? The freight company assures me they are not lost but just delayed because UPS is so swamped. 

On the bright side, the one box I received looks great! It was all original size Tahoe Blue. I always stress that the finals are going to be different than the prototypes but they turned out perfect.

Black Friday Situation

Originally I planned on having these the end of October and then I'd have plenty of time to get them to you and be ready for Black Friday - Cyber Monday. I'm not going to have the stuff in time which is a bummer. Here's what I'd like to do... I want to list the stuff for sale with a note that it won't ship until later. I'll have deals but no deals on the Kickstarter stuff. 

My commitment to you is:

• You'll get yours first before any other shipping happens.
•  Kickstarter wallets will be full price - You got the best deal.

Are you okay with that? I want to balance my loyalty to you but not miss out on the biggest shopping weekend of the year.

Lastly, 

I love free money as much as the next guy but I would rather get you what you paid for. Below are the  lost souls who pledged but never filled out their survey. Please email [email protected] if you need a link to your survey or help filling it out. I just need to know what color you want and where to send it.

Thanks everyone, I hope to post good news any day now, have a great Thanksgiving! 

Still in customs :-(

Just a quick update... The shipment has been in customs since the 13th. I wanted to wait until it was released to give you some good news but I didn't want to leave you hanging too long. So... I'm hoping it'll be released any day now and then it'll arrive here a day or two later. I'm only a few hours from LA so it won't take long. The lesson learned here is don't make any shipping promises anywhere close to Black Friday because all freight and customs are going to be busy. The good news is we're ready to ship them, I have all the shipping supplies ready to just add the rewards and drop in the mail.  Keep your fingers crossed!

Hey y'all! Good news, the factory has shipped them to me. The bad news is (because of everyone's rush to get products for black Friday) instead of the normal 3 days shipping it will take 15 days :-(  That's my fastest shipping option.

So... we missed the October target date. But they're done and on there way. Stay tuned!

Now for some....

Factory Is Wrapping Up
over 5 years ago – Fri, Oct 23, 2020 at 08:26:14 PM

Hey everyone, just checking in. The factory is wrapping up and should be ready to ship everything out on the 26th. I should have them about three days later and will be ready to start shipping them to you. This is completely insane that the Kickstarter ended two weeks ago and your rewards are almost ready to ship out. 

I'll let you know when I get them and what to expect as far as shipping goes. After they ship, you can log into Backerkit to get your tracking number. 

Don't forget to fill out the survey if you haven't yet. It's the only way to get your stuff :-)

If you have any questions please email: [email protected] - Keep drawing!

Surveys started :-)
over 5 years ago – Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 02:10:57 PM

Surveys have started. Backerkit requires me to send out only 5% of the surveys first to troubleshoot any potential problems. So 5% of you will get your survey today. If those go well, the rest will go out shortly after.

Add ons! Please note that add-ons are available for backers at Kickstarter prices. Others will not be getting these deals. Also note that we are sold out of the original size blank sketchbooks on our web store so you are getting first dibs on the small amount of stock I'm getting in. Once those are gone the next batch won't be in until the end of November.

So keep your eyes peeled for surveys in the next few days as they roll out.

Keep creating!
