Fulfillment delay
about 1 year ago – Sat, Mar 18, 2023 at 08:27:01 PM

Hi friends 💃

Just a small update to let you know fulfillment has been delayed a few days. Our hot water heater leaked and flooded our basement -- we didn't realize it had happened for a while so we had lots of cleanup. I was pretty much unable to do fulfillment while things were being fixed but everything is peachy now thankfully.

I also am patiently waiting on more padded mailers -- I didn't realize I was down to one box. They should be delivered Monday so I can get fulfillment back up and running then. If you received a tracking number but it still says "pretransit" please wait until at least Wednesday for the tracking to update. Anyone who hasn't gotten tracking yet (minus pledges who ordered the butter pin) will receive tracking sometime next week.

Fulfillment Update
about 1 year ago – Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 09:54:47 AM

Hi friends!

I spent all of yesterday and night packing rewards and I managed to get through over 230 packages. Once the remaining addresses are locked in, I will slap on labels and send this batch out for shipment. I have a small batch of about 100 packages going out tomorrow that were locked in earlier -- if you received a tracking email already you are part of the batch shipping tomorrow. 

I will be working through the weekend to get the larger orders out -- these take longer to pack but if all goes well I'm hoping to have them shipped out next week. 

My manufacturer is doing a rush remake of the butter pins. I do not have an accurate estimate on when they will be finished (they have quite a few special effects) but I will update on those when I can get an accurate timeline. 

If you receive your kickstarter rewards and do an unboxing or take photos, please tag me! I'd love to see your photos :) @tokuarts on Tiktok, Instagram, and Twitter

Last chance to update address!

💃💃💃I will begin fulfillment very soon so I've sent out a final reminder email for last minute address changes. Once this locks, you will no longer be able to update your address so please be sure to do that ASAP if you need to! (This does not apply to anyone who pledged for the Butter pin as we are currently waiting on remakes) 🙏

I will begin fulfillment next week, starting with international orders,  then the one pin tier and moving up. 📌 It's just little old me 🙍‍♀️ packing orders for this campaign so please be patient -- I'm pretty seasoned though and can usually get through 150 packages a day if I have nothing else going on. 

You will receive an email with tracking once I'm ready to fulfill the batch your items are in. 🙌 Please allow a few days for the tracking to update. 

I'm so excited for you guys to get your mini mart pins (and over a whole month early!) 👁👄👁 Thank you so much for your patience and backing the campaign as always!

Baby Butter
about 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 06, 2023 at 08:47:24 PM

Sorry for the back to back updates. I've had a lot of DMs and comments asking about wanting the mistake butter pin (or baby butter as I'm calling it).

If you pledged for a butter pin and you would like the baby butter in place of the regular butter pin, please fill out this Google form 💃

If you did not pledge for the Butter pin or still want the correct size butter pin, you DO NOT need to fill out this form.

This form will be closing March 10th at 9am ET -- no butter swap requests will be taken after this date.

I will be putting up whatever baby butter pins are leftover in my shop to help recuperate the costs of the remakes. Backerkit orders are locked in so unfortunately I cannot offer the option to add baby butter pins to your pledge.

Small Delay
about 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 06, 2023 at 04:47:45 PM

Hi guys! 💃

I received about half of the pins today - at a glance they all look great! Unfortunately, I did miss an error on the art proof of the butter pin and it turned out teeny tiny. It's more of a pad of butter instead of a full stick LOL 

I've contacted my manufacturer and having them rush remade at the correct size. Hopefully this will only take a few weeks at most 🙏 

I'm still waiting on about 5 designs to show up but once they do I'll be able to begin fulfillment for all pledges that don't include the butter pin.

If you're interested, I'll be posting more photos over on Instagram and Discord 🙌
