Hello trusty backers. Sadly  I have nothing new to report this week. I've been reaching out regularly to my customs broker. This is the response I received earlier in the week "There is nothing new to report. Customs has everything in hand and we are waiting on their next move."

Fingers crossed something happens next week.

Customs Update – 03.28.21
about 3 years ago – Mon, Mar 29, 2021 at 01:01:42 AM

Hello Trusty Backers, 

It's been about a week since the last update. I've been communicating back & forth with the US Customs Agent (through my Customs Broker) for the past few days. The issue currently seems to be the Mimic Boxes that have the loose squeezes inside of them. 

It is 100% my fault that they have not been released. I did not print any legal info on the Mimic Boxes because I did not think of it. When making those boxes, I just thought of them as fun boxes and not as something that would have anything in them when sold in a store.

I did however include an empty series box that has all of that information inside the Mimic Box, but I was told that is not enough.  I have sent over some ideas on how I could resolve the issue, but have not heard back yet. 

I just wanted to keep you informed about what is going on. Maybe one of you will run a Kickstarter and learn from my hiccups :)

At the moment I am at the mercy of the customs agent. Hopefully, they will like one of my ideas and we will see some progress next week. 

Thank you,

Brian

Hello trusty backers,

Today I have disappointing news. I was under the impression that the squeezes had left Savannah and were on their way to Atlanta. Instead, they were going to ship directly to Savannah to me. 

There was some sort of mix-up yesterday and the truck couldn't get my 8 pallets of stuff, and then today when they tried, US Customs decided at the last minute that they want to inspect the shipment. 

So what does this all mean?

First off, I will not be able to pack any orders this weekend. I will however continue building boxes in preparation for when the shipment does arrive. 

This morning I went to the warehouse early and started the process of building boxes. I only managed to get 150 made before receiving the news... and decided to come home to get this update out to you.

Hopefully, US Customs will go look at the shipment today and release it. But I won't know until they let me know.

I will keep you updated as word comes my way.

Squishies Almost Here!

Hello trusty backers!

Today I got word that the shipment will be arriving in Savannah tomorrow! Usually, it takes a day or two to then make it to Atlanta, and then another day to make it to my warehouse. I am very hopeful that they will arrive to me by the end of the week so I can get a ton of shipments packed up this weekend. I AM SO EXCITED!!!!

Thank you so much for being a part of the RPG Squeeze quest! The reports coming in from folks overseas who have received them are really positive! I think everyone is going to love them.

****

Now that we are getting really close to sending out all of the squeezes to you, I want to share an early look into my next adventure. I'm thrilled to be launching a dice line called Polyhedral Potions. In preparation for that campaign, I am giving away some of the early dice prototypes, including a rare set of raw unpainted dice. You can check out the image below and enter to win them here. And don't forget to click the notify me on launch button on the Kickstarter holding page. My goal is to launch this at the end of the month as long as the majority of the squeezes are in the mail to all of you.

Adventure awaits!

Quick Shipping Update 03.06.21

Hello Trusty Backers!

Folks outside of the US are starting to have their squishies arrive!!! There have been a few comments mentioning people getting their packages, which is wonderful news.  If you haven't received yours yet, you should soon (unless you had one of the Mimic boxes on your pledge, see the last update).

Here in the US, the boat arrived and is at the freight station and is supposed to be devanned this weekend. That basically means the big shipping container that all the RPG Squeezes (and a bunch of other people's stuff) are in will be getting pulled out of the container. 

The next steps will be:

Get on a Truck to Savannah, GA

Go from Savannah to a local freight company in Atlanta

Get shipped to my warehouse

Sometimes this moves quickly (like a week) and sometimes there are things that slow it down (like customs). I'm hoping it will be fast, but either way, I will keep you posted. 

Thanks!

Brian
