Latest Updates from Our Project:

Archaeopteryx set to arrive on the 17th April!
about 6 years ago – Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 01:30:29 AM

Hello!

Just a quick update for you all. The Archaeopteryx will be delivered to me on the 17th April and I plan on posting them out to folks ASAP.

I plan on shipping in this order:

-Backers who pledged for Archaeopteryx-only
-Backers who pledged for Archaeopteryx + small items
-Backers who pledged for Archaeopteryx + t-shirts

I'll be packing them all myself and taking them to the Post Office in smaller batches (50-100) so the process could take a week or so.

I've sent you all a message via BackerKit to make sure your addresses are up-to-date, and I'll be locking the addresses down in the next few days. If you've got any concerns, feel free to contact me!

Thanks again,
Rebecca

Plushies Inbound, set for Week of 16th April
about 6 years ago – Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at 12:01:25 AM

Hello everyone!

Once again I'd like to thank you all for your patience and understanding. There's been a few delays outside of my control, so I thank you profusely for not being too annoyed about this.

I've just had a call from the Logistics company handling the importing of the plushies for me. They've informed me that they were shipped from the US around a week ago, so are set to be delivered on what should be the week of the 16th April. I plan on beginning to ship them to backers ASAP.

There's 32 boxes, each with 25 plushies in them. I'm going to have to find room to store them all!

If anyone has moved house/changed other details since completeing their surveys, you can update your details by following this link:

Any concerns, please contact me, either send me a message on KS or use this form:

All the best,

Plushies are -still- on their way. For real this time.

Hello!

Thank you all for your patience.

I've been chasing up the plushie's location- it turns out that they were delayed upon export from the USA due to a safety inspection/trademark inspection, something to do with EU customs. They'll be in UK inbound customs within 2 weeks, and from there they will be transported to Scotland for me.

This looks like it may take up to a month before the plushies are with me here, which is longer than expected but I'm glad they've been located. Hopefully they'll arrive sooner but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks again for all your support! I'll keep you posted!

Regards,
Rebecca

Quick update (no update).

Hello!

Just a quick update to keep everyone in the loop. Plushies are still on their way to me, somewhere between the USA and the UK.

I haven't heard anything so I'm hoping they'll turn up any day now. If they haven't arrived soon I'll be chasing up on their location.

Thanks everyone for your support and patience,

All the best,

Rebecca

Plushies are still on their way to me! + Addresses unlocked on Backerkit.
over 6 years ago – Tue, Jan 02, 2018 at 11:18:47 PM

Hi everyone! I hope you've all had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Just to let everyone know I've paid for the final shipment of the plushies from the USA to the UK. They should be on their way to me soon. They're coming by ocean again so it could be a month or so until they arrive.

I've also unlocked everyone's surveys on Backerkit as it's been much longer than expected and I'm sure a few people will need to change their addresses/update details. I'll let everyone know when they arrive and when I'll be shipping them. I hope to dispatch them all within a week of their arrival here.

Once again I'm so sorry about the delays, this has all gone a lot slower than I expected. (Previously when working with a plush company they were flown directly from the factory to me, so that saved a whole chunk of time off the shipping estimate.) I admit I'm not happy about this delay at all and the fact they were shipped to the USA first, so I've had to pay USA customs duty and then I'll have to pay UK customs on arrival here, too.

Thanks again for everyone's patience and understanding. If anyone has any concerns please contact me and I'll try my best to sort it out. You've all been great!

Kind regards,
Rebecca
