Queer & Here Shipping Soon!
13 days ago – Fri, Nov 08, 2024 at 09:15:39 AM

Hey everyone,

This is just an update to let you know that I now have all the pins for this project in my possession. They all look great, and correct, except for the asexual pin. The asexual pin was plated in the wrong metal color, and one of the flowers, which was supposed to be white, was made pink. I have reached out to my manufacturer to get this corrected, but I'm not sure how long it will take to have them remade.

While I have all the items for this campaign, I still need to sort, count, and grade the pins, as well as set up a shipping station in my office. I expect shipping to start in about 1-2 weeks.

This is just a reminder if you need your shipping address updated, please email me at [email protected] with the name and email associated with your pledge, and your new address.


Here are a few quick photos I took in my backyard today, please note the photo quality is not spectacular.

Shipping Update and Pin Photos
about 1 month ago – Thu, Oct 17, 2024 at 06:19:27 AM

Hey all, 

Just dropping in with a shipping update. I currently have about 25% of the pins in my possession, I'm waiting for the other 75%. I'm expecting to receive those pins for in the next 2 weeks. We are still on track to start shipping in November, but possibly mid-late November. One of the pin designs was also made incorrectly so I am waiting for them to fix that error and make them again.

I've gone ahead and locked addresses, so from this point on, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected]

Below are some photos of the pins I currently have.

Manufacturing Update
3 months ago – Wed, Aug 14, 2024 at 06:13:37 AM

Hey everyone,

This is just a reminder to complete your survey if you haven't already done so. I will be ordering the pins this week and I'd like to have the most accurate quantities. Even if you can't pay your shipping costs at this moment, still complete the survey up to the confirmation point. When you complete your survey, even if you don't hit submit on the confirmation page, it still adds to the count of designs. This project is limited release, meaning I won't be ordering many more extra pins that what's been ordered by backers. 

If you have trouble finding your Queer and Here survey, please email me at [email protected]

Other than the pins, all other materials for this campaign have been ordered. 

This campaign is still on track to begin shipping in October 2024. 

Cheers,
Liz

Survey Reminder
4 months ago – Mon, Jul 29, 2024 at 07:25:59 AM

Hey everyone,

This is just a reminder to fill out your survey for the Queer & Here project.

I also wanted to remind you that as I'm working on finalize quantities for the manufacturer, these pins are limited release. I will only be ordering the quantity counts within surveys (plus a few extras to account for b grades). This means there will probably be very few left over after the campaign is fulfilled. Any remaining pins that are leftover will be listed in the etsy shop after campaign fulfillment. It's also important to remember that if you fill out your survey past the survey design choice deadline of August 15th, you will not be guaranteed your design choices. In short, if there are designs you want, your survey is the time to get them, because they may not be available after the campaign end. 

This campaign will have two lockdown/charge dates. The first lockdown date is July 31st, and the second lockdown date is August 7th. There is no difference between the lockdown dates, an early lockdown just allows us to get funds quicker and order pins sooner. If you aren't sure about your design choices, don't complete your survey before the 31st, you can always wait to complete and submit it on or before the 7th. Any surveys filled out past August 15th are not guaranteed their design choices. It's better to fill out your survey and not complete it (if you're not ready to be charged), because we still get a count for which designs you are wanting.
