RPG Squeeze Series 2 – Squishy Dungeon Crawl Critters

Shipping Update 02.15.21
about 3 years ago – Mon, Feb 15, 2021 at 04:28:30 PM

Hello Trusty Backers!

I know it has been a little while since my last update. I apologize, there was nothing new to report. The shipment with items heading to be for US & Canada fulfillment is still on the water and is scheduled to dock in New York at the end of the month. As I have more info, I will update you on that. For all other countries, I just spoke with my fulfillment partner in Ireland.

They received the shipment from my manufacturer at the beginning of February but have just now been able to dig into it. They have been extremely busy due to different lockdowns and more people needing their services (they are considered a necessary business). This morning we reviewed everything that was sent to them and most of it looks good, but as this is a Kickstarter there had to be a bit of a hiccup.

There was a communication error between myself and the manufacturer. They were supposed to send 1 case of the Brown Mimic Series 1 filled boxes and 2 cases of the Grey Mimic Series 2 filled cases to Ireland. Instead, they sent 1 brown mimic and 2 grey mimics. This leaves about 20 backers who are going to be getting their orders later than everyone else. I am very sorry for this.

Because they do not have the product, I have to wait for it to arrive here in the states and then send it on to Ireland. It will be a high priority for me to ship those out to Ireland as soon as they come in. All other international orders should ship out late this week or early next week. As they give me tracking info I will update it in Backerkit.

That is about all I have for now. It may be about 2 weeks until the next update. Fingers crossed the shipment will arrive in New York with all the squishy goodness for that update.

We are getting so much closer! Thanks for being a part of this project!

Quick Update – W've secured a Boat!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Jan 19, 2021 at 07:54:00 AM

For US & Canada backers, a vessel has been secured with the RPG Squeezes currently scheduled to arrive to NY on February 20th. From there, they will need to clear customs, then get transferred on a truck to Savannah. After that, they will head to my warehouse. 

Things can get hung up in customs, but I have already submitted all paperwork, fingers-crossed everything will go smoothly. 

My best estimate is that we will start shipping in early March. There are a lot of orders and I will get them out as fast & accurately as possible. 

Thanks!

IMPORTANT Production Update – Please Read
over 3 years ago – Sun, Jan 17, 2021 at 10:44:16 AM

Hello Trusty Backers!!!

Today is a good day! Production is complete and our logistics partner is scheduled to pick up the squishy goodness!

Before I get to anything else, this is important, 57 people have yet to fill out their Backerkit survey. Immediately following this update I am going to send a reminder email to those folks. Please check your junk/spam folder to make sure you are not one of them. Please fill that out by Monday.

Addresses will be locked Monday. This is especially important for anyone who does not live in the US or Canada. Squeezes that are going to the rest of the world will be shipped by air, which means they could actually reach our international fulfillment partner at the end of next week! If you are moving and need to update your address, now is the time. 

US & Canada. Right now our logistics partner is working on securing us a spot on a vessel headed for the US. Things are swamped right now as Asia is preparing for Spring Festival/Chinese New Year and everyone is trying to get their products on a boat. As soon as I have confirmation that we are booked, along with an estimated arrival to the US, I will let you know.

Thanks for your patience, I know this is running a bit behind schedule.

Production Update 01/07/21 – Almost done
over 3 years ago – Thu, Jan 07, 2021 at 10:07:36 PM

Hello trusty backers!

Boxing of all items for the Kickstarter should be complete sometime towards the end of next week!!!

We should also have the testing certificate at the same time so they will be able to leave the factory!

Here are a few quick photos of items getting packed up.

After next week I should have a better idea of when you should expect rewards to ship to you. For US & Canada orders, there will be a chunk of time as they get on a boat, make their way to the US, and then down to my warehouse. For the rest of the world, it should go a little faster, as the squeezes will be shipped by air to Ireland. 

There will be some outlying factors as Covid is ramping up and impacting the world. I know where our international fulfillment center is, they are in week 1 of lockdown that is anticipated to last until the end of January or later. They said at the moment they are considered an essential service and operating like normal, but as you know things can change. 

Thanks for being a part of this quest! I can't wait for you to get the squeezes in your hands!
