Pins Have & Are Being Shipped Over! Grading and Packing Started
7 months ago – Tue, Oct 03, 2023 at 04:38:01 PM

Hi all! 

I am very relieved to announce that the majority of the Zodiac Cat pins have safely arrived! 

I received the vast majority of the pins yesterday and have already begun the process of grading and packing them ^^ 

I am waiting for the shipment/arrival of the mini pins (freebie pins). So all orders *without* freebie pins will be sent out first ^^ 

I hope to ship out a good chunk of these orders this week or by the end of next week.  

Thank you all for being extremely patient with me!! I understand production delays can be frustrating to go through. So I simply hope that you all are just excited to see these pin kitties coming to you soon :D

Pin Production Delayed But Nearing Completion Soon! All Non-Pin Orders Have Been Sent Out!
8 months ago – Thu, Aug 24, 2023 at 02:56:24 PM

Hi all!

Sorry for the crickets over on my end! I'd been waiting very patiently for updates from my pin manufacturer. Production was delayed, for a few weeks, due to a move from my manufacturer to another location. Thankfully, production had started back up again this week (and I'm receiving photos I can share with you all). 

All pins are on the final steps of production and or already completed!!

The new estimated time of arrival for all of the pins is the end of August or at the latest early September. So that does mean orders will be slightly delayed from our estimated fulfillment time. 

For those of you who had orders without any pins added, you should've received your orders in the mail! Stickers, keychains, and stationery items are done and are waiting to be sent out to the rest of you too!

I am so so so excited to be getting everything in hand and shipped out to you all! And I appreciate each one of you for being patient during this process :D

Cheers!

Keychains & Stickers Are Complete! And Other Production News
10 months ago – Sat, Jul 01, 2023 at 03:22:21 PM

Hi everyone! Just some quick updates on production.

Both stickers and keychains are completed and are ready to be sent out! I'll be shipping out orders with stickers and/or keychains ONLY within this week or so.

They came out so nicely and I'm so excited to share what they look like with you :D

The pins are more than halfway done with production (with some very few already completed). I'm excited to get some more progress and completion shots of the pins :D And I'll definitely share any of those updates here on Kickstarter once I get them.

As for the stationery (memo pads, note pads, and washi tape), the order has already been shipped out to me and is currently in transit. I'm waiting for them to come to my front door soon :D

That's all of the major updates for now. I hope you have a wonderful day ^^

Production

Here are some of the behind-the-scenes photos my manufacturers sent me ^^ (These are not the final products, just some in-progress photos ^^)

I am expected to have the enamel pins complete by the end of July. Every other item will make it to my door throughout that month ^^. 

We are currently on schedule for everything to be sent out during August!! I will send out stationery-only orders first and then orders with pins afterward.
