Quick Update
over 2 years ago – Thu, Oct 21, 2021 at 01:12:48 PM

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to put a quick update out there to keep you all informed on the fulfillment process.

Currently I am still waiting on the Tarot decks and plushies to arrive to me. My manufacturer is doing a great job at keeping me informed and working with the shipping company to ensure they arrive soon. Due to the issues in the ports currently, there is a possibility of delays for the decks arriving to me.  I'm currently going to give it until the end of October for them to arrive before I say there may be some delays.  I estimated I would begin shipping in November, so as long as they arrive in the next 2-3 weeks, I can still meet that goal!

If the decks do not arrive by November 1st, I will send out another update, but I am hopeful that they will arrive before then! I will do my best to keep everyone in the know and update as soon as the decks and plushies arrive.

Other than that, everything else has arrived!

A quick note about the tarot booklet:

I noticed a printing error in my tarot booklets a bit too late in the production, but no hope is lost! I ended up paying to have them reprinted and fixed. The corrected booklets are being air mailed to me, so they will arrive most likely within a week (so roughly right on time hopefully with the rest of the decks) So not to worry, the printing error was corrected! Phew!

Thank you so much everyone! I'm going to try and take some pictures of the physical deck here in a few days once I get the time. I've been traveling for 2 weeks and am finally able to write an update from my home computer! 

Thanks again and have a great week everyone!

Tarot and Plushies are finished and on the way!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Sep 11, 2021 at 08:45:43 PM

Hello everyone!

I am so happy to let you know that both the Tarot decks and the plushies have finished up production! I paid the shipping costs and final payments on both and so they are going to be on the way!

I am so excited that these are finally on the way! I have gotten a few pictures from my manufacterers and so I can show you all here! 

Look at that shine! Oh I’m so hyped for these!!!

This is what the sides look like! Pretty cool, huh?! I am in LOVE with this new finish!

The cards just look goregous and I am SO happy with the art, the shine,box, booklet, etc! I’m really proud of all the work that went into this, and seeing them finished is just SUCH an amazing feeling. I can’t wait to have them all in my hands so I can get them to YOURS.

And now the plushies! They are also all finished and on the way!

It should be about a month or so for the plushies and the tarot decks to get to my door. Which is perfect because that means we are right on time for starting to ship in November! My fingers are they will arrive before Halloween! 

Thank you all so much for supporting my Kickstarter! I can’t wait to start fulfillment to get you all these decks and plush and everything!

Merch starting to arrive + Backerkit Surveys!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Aug 28, 2021 at 05:09:43 PM

Hello everyone! I am super excited to announce that all of the merch for the Kickstarter is actually starting to arrive early! I've got a few pictures of some of the goodies that have arrived, and I wanted to share them with you. 

The Tarot bags have arrived and their adorable! Super soft and fit the deck perfectly.  The tarot cloth has also arrived and I'm in LOVE with them! I made these tarot cloths larger, and chose a different material to make them more suited for Tarot. 

The 5x7 prints look great! Good color, and perfect to show off the art!  The stickers and divination coins have also arrived!! I am obsessed with the divination coin, and want to take some more pictures of it later for all of you!

And lastly, the tarot decks are almost done! My manufacturer has informed me that the production of the decks is going great and they should be finishing up production in about a week or so! Which is much faster than I thought! I will be keeping you all updated as I get more information on shipping and progress!

But int he meantime, here is a picture from my manu on the cards! They have finished the silver holographic foiling, and it looks SO COOL!

Also, the plushies are in full production and should hopefully be done soon as well. 

Another update on Backerkit. I currently have 58 people who still need to fill out their surveys. I am extending the time for locking orders/charging cards. I want to allow enough time for everyone to be able to fill out their surveys. I will be extending the time to lock orders/charge cards until September 15th. Just to give a few more people time to fill out their surveys. 

If you haven't received your survey, please shoot me a message here on Kickstarter! I am happy to help so you can get your survey! 

Thank you all so much for backing this Kickstarter and for your support. I can't wait to get these orders heading to all of you once the Decks arrive!

Surveys are OUT!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Aug 17, 2021 at 02:35:14 AM

Hey everyone! Just a quick update here, I have sent out the surveys!

If you don’t receive your survey link by tomorrow, just send me a message here via Kickstarter and I am more than happy to help you out! Be sure to check your spam as well, just in case :)

I’m going to keep surveys up for at minimum 16 days, thought I might extend it depending on how many people are able to fulfill their surveys within that time frame.

We are still on track for delivery in November, and when I have some product photos of all the goodies arriving, I’ll be sure to do a big update with some photos.

I’m heading out to Planet City Comic Con this weekend, so once I’m back home, I can do an update with all of the items arriving this weekend. (Which should be the divination coins and the tarot cloths and bags)

Thank you so much everyone! I can’t wait to get these decks into your hands :)

Smoke Test is OUT! + Production update!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Aug 14, 2021 at 10:40:20 PM

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday!

I just wanted to drop in and let you all know that the smoke test surveys were launched today!! The smoke test is when I send out 5% of the surveys to every tier of the campaign, just to test and make sure there aren't any bugs with backerkit. I have sent those out today and will let them go throughout the weekend. I am aiming to send out surveys to everyone early next week! When I send out ALL surveys, I will also send out another update here for everyone to know. 

Backerkit will send your survey to your email that you used to create your Kickstarter account. If you think you used an old email and you may not get your survey, just send me a DM via Kickstarter and I can fix that for you manually!

And then, just a little update on production!

So far everything has been ordered and is either in production, or completed. I decided to order extras of things so we could get production moving! 

The stickers and the 5x7 prints have made their way to me, and the divination coins, tarot cloths and bags are currently shipping to me! So they will be here and ready as soon as surveys come in. The tarot cards are in production, and they may take around a month or so to complete, and then another month to ship to me. But we are still right on track for November delivery.

I've also put in the order for plushies, and they will most likely be arriving around the same time as the tarot decks, but I will keep everyone in the loop! 

Thank you all so much! Stay tuned for your surveys next week :)
