Happy Pride Month!

One year ago today, we embarked on the biggest pin creation challenge we've ever faced -- over a thousand different pin types came out of Pride Pins, and over seventy thousand individual pins. We became the most funded enamel pin Kickstarter of all time, and a year later, we're still holding that title. That's amazing, and it's all thanks to each of you.

There have been ups and downs with this campaign. The downs you already know about --  entire species remakes as we quality control our products, two domestic and international shipping hikes we never could have anticipated, COVID and quarantine, among others. The ups have been just as emotional. As our products have been showing up at backers' households, we've gotten a lot of messages describing how validated and happy it makes them feel to have something that represents them.

This Pride Month, we hope each of you feels validated, loved, and heard. 

And in the meantime, we'll still be here, working away at fulfilling the last 25% of the campaign shipments. Did you know we've completed 75% of the shipments so far? It's been a long process, and there's still some species waiting to come in, but more and more are being fulfilled each day, and we're so honored to bring them to you after your patient waiting.

Some more products (Red Pandas and Raccoons) have come in today, putting our pending list to:

  •  Lion: Demisexual, Pastel Rainbow, Polysexual, Unity, Pride Pal
  •  Red Panda: Non-Binary, Pride Pal
  •  Raccoon: Pride Pal, Pastel, Unity
  •  Ball Python: Pastel, Unity, Pride Pal, Custom Pastel
  •  Rat: Pansexual
  •  Rabbit: All flags

It's slowly dwindling. Now more packages are in the queue for shipment. We're getting closer and closer to finishing off fulfillment every day. It's been a long and wild ride, but we're still hard at work bringing you these little pieces of art.

Have a wonderful Pride!

Moths and possums are in!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, May 14, 2020 at 02:39:07 AM

Moths and Possums have arrived at the office, and this time they are properly screenprinted!

The team was around Tier 15 when they arrived. Now that these pins are here, the team will be doing a quality check to filter out any pins that don't reach our quality standards, and preparing to ship them.  We have made contact with Backerkit in preparation of updating our shipping filter so orders containing these two species are kicked back into the shipping queue. We expect these preliminaries to be done by Monday, at which time the team will circle back to Tier 1 and start shipping orders that were awaiting moths and possums.

Sabertooth remakes have started shipping to us, so we expect that we will be able to start adding the pending Sabertooths to our shipping queue as well. Other designs under remake are still being created.

The following products are currently under remake:

  •  Red Panda (Bisexual, Demisexual, Gay, Genderqueer, NonBinary, Pastel, Pride Pal, Transgender, Unity)
  •  Ball Python (Pastel, Unity, Pride Pal, Custom Pastel Rainbow)
  •  Otter (Agender, Aromantic, Asexual, Bisexual, Demisexual, Gay, Genderfluid, Lesbian, NonBinary, Pastel, Polyamorous, Polysexual, Straight Ally, Unity, Pride Pal)
  •  Raccoon (Pride Pal, Agender, Bisexual, Asexual, Demisexual, Gay, NonBinary, Polyamorous, Transgender, Pastel Rainbow, Unity)
  •  Lynx (Lesbian, Pastel, Gay)
  •  Sabertooth (Agender, Aromantic, Asexual, Gay, Genderfluid, Lesbian, NonBinary, Pastel, Polysexual, Pride Pal, Straight Ally, Transgender)
  •  Rabbit (All Flags)
  •  Lion (All Flags)
  •  Rat (Pansexual)
  •  Pitbull (Bisexual)

If you need to change your shipping address, email [email protected] with your full name, your email, and your new address.

We're excited to send these two species out. See you soon!

USPS Shipping Update
almost 4 years ago – Sun, May 10, 2020 at 09:59:51 AM

Hello friends!

This is an update primarily for international (NON-US) customers, but it might be useful for US customers too.

We have been observing a major slowdown in international shipping times for the last two months. It is, unfortunately, not uncommon for international packages sent in March to still be waiting for exportation from the US. If you are an international customer, please be advised that you should expect what looks like 2-3 month delays in receiving packages after getting your tracking number.

For domestic, US customers, we have been seeing a lack of tracking scans along the delivery pathway. Packages are frequently not being scanned until they reach the destination. As a result, if it seems your package is stuck in Romeoville, IL (our location), then it's on its way to you, USPS just hasn't been scanning their packages regularly. Domestic shipments seem to be taking a little longer than usual as well, though not at the same extreme as international shipments. We've seen domestic shipments arrive on time, and seen others take upwards of two weeks to move one state over.

USPS has also suspended shipping to the following locations:

  • Certain APO, FPO, DPO zip codes as listed here
  • 112 international locations as listed here, including:

If your country is listed here, please expect greater delays until your country is able to accept mail from USPS again. If you would like us to quote you for shipping using another service, please reach out to us and let us know which service you'd like us to get a quote from and we will attempt to do so.

COVID-19 is definitely affecting the state of shipping in all places of the world. As a result, when you receive your tracking number and the package has left our office, please be advised there isn't anything we can do if there are delays. All anyone can do is be patient until normalcy returns.

Thank you!

3,500 orders shipped
about 4 years ago – Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 05:51:08 PM

Okay, close, but after the tracking numbers go out today, it'll probably be 3,500 :)

It's been about a month since the last update and we're happy to announce we've packed 1,000 packages in that time! The packages are getting exponentially more time consuming to pack (due to the number of products, checking them carefully for quality, etc.) and we're still limited in staff due to quarantine, but we are hoping we can continue a 1,000 packages a month pace.

The team is almost complete with 4-Pin Tier and moving onto 5-Pin Tier today.

Please remember that the following products arrived damaged and are pending a remake:

  • Red Panda (Bisexual, Demisexual, Gay, Genderqueer, NonBinary, Pastel, Pride Pal, Transgender, Unity)
  • Ball Python (Pastel, Unity, Pride Pal, Custom Pastel Rainbow)
  • Otter (Agender, Aromantic, Asexual, Bisexual, Demisexual, Gay, Genderfluid, Lesbian, NonBinary, Pastel, Polyamorous, Polysexual, Straight Ally, Unity, Pride Pal)
  • Raccoon (Pride Pal, Agender, Bisexual, Asexual, Demisexual, Gay, NonBinary, Polyamorous, Transgender, Pastel Rainbow, Unity)
  • Lynx (Lesbian, Pastel, Gay)
  • Saberooth (Agender, Aromantic, Asexual, Gay, Genderfluid, Lesbian, NonBinary, Pastel, Polysexual, Pride Pal, Straight Ally, Transgender)
  • Rabbit (All Flags)
  • Lion (All Flags)
  • Moth (All Flags)
  • Possum (All Flags)
  • Rat (Pansexual)

If you did not order a pin from this list, then your order is still in queue for shipping based on the tier you selected.

Moths and Opossums seem like they're getting close to completion, as our manufacturer sent a photo of one of them yesterday:

The other species under remake are almost finished with enameling and are waiting for screenprinting; here's a photo of the Red Panda we received:

While we had been hoping that the quarantine would be lifted by now, it seems at this point that it's unrealistic to expect life to go back to normal anytime soon. We have been averaging 60 packages a day among our staff that is still able to work legally under the quarantine rules, so that is what we'll be doing for the foreseeable future. This is tough, as we'd trained many more people to ship for this project in February, but until it's legal for them to work, this is the best we can do.

We expect that we'll be able to pack more projects per day once Moths and Opossums arrive and we can circle back to 1-Pin Tier and move up from there with sending out packages that contained those two species. Until then, we ask for your patience in this unprecedented time and hopes that the quarantines end and we can welcome back our other workers as soon as it is safe to do so.

Until next time,

Fursona Pins
