Surveys on their way!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Nov 19, 2021 at 06:58:50 PM

Surveys are on their way to you!

Please be sure to check the e-mail you use for Kickstarter for the survey. It will be coming from Backerkit! The survey is where you tell us what items you'd like for your pledge, so please be sure to fill it out. We want to get the manufacturing order placed and paid for promptly, so the survey answer deadline is December 3,  2021. (Two weeks!)

Some reminders:

• Remember, the survey is where you'll pay the shipping cost and sales tax (if applicable) for your order, calculated for your exact order and location. So please have your credit/debit or PayPal information ready! The good news -- the shipping costs should be lower than expected, especially for international backers, with the inclusion of UPS in PirateShip. They sure negotiated those rates down!
• For international buyers: please remember that your country will charge you an import fee/customs fee to import your package. This is unrelated to the shipping cost and not controlled by Fursona Pins!
• During the survey, you'll be able to add additional items from the campaign, and some of our past items to your order if you please. The Celebration Trio (large pin) and individual Celebration Animals are available there as well and are Backer Exclusives.
• The White Dragon will be available as a selection in the survey, as well as a re-print of our Sawyer the Pride Fox bag. Huzzah for bulk ordering!

If you don't see your survey in your inbox...

• Check the "Spam" section of your e-mail inbox.
• Confirm that you're checking the e-mail you use for Kickstarter
• Wait about 24 hours, and if nothing shows up, send an email to [email protected] with your backer information and we can grab the link to your survey for you!

We know you are super excited to fill out the survey and we are looking forward to reviewing the statistics for this campaign!

Thank you again for backing our project!

Update time!

Happy Monday everyone! Let's go over some upcoming bits of information:

• Kickstarter has deposited the funds! We are now able to move forward to the next step in our campaign--the survey.
• We are currently waiting for Backerkit to approve the survey before we can send it out, so expect to see the smoke tests in the next few days, and hopefully Backerkit will have it approved and ready to go by Friday or next Monday.
• Remember, the survey is where you'll pay the shipping cost and sales tax (if applicable) for your order, calculated for your exact order and location. So please have your credit/debit or PayPal information ready! The good news -- the shipping costs should be lower than expected, especially for international backers, with the inclusion of UPS in PirateShip. They sure negotiated those rates down!
• For international buyers: please remember that your country will charge you an import fee/customs fee to import your package. This is unrelated to the shipping cost and not controlled by Fursona Pins! 
• See that cute design above? You'll be able to select one of the characters (Tiger, Husky, or Red Fox) as a freebie pin to go along with your order as a big THANK YOU from Fursona Pins!
• During the survey, you'll be able to add additional items from the campaign, and some of our past items to your order if you please. The Celebration Trio (large pin) and individual Celebration Animals are available there as well and are Backer Exclusives.
• The White Dragon will be available as a selection in the survey, as well as a re-print of our Sawyer the Pride Fox bag. Huzzah for bulk ordering!

Keep an eye on your inboxes for the next week in expectation of the survey. We'll post an update here when it goes out, too, so you can make sure it reaches you!

Thank you again for backing our project!

Thank you for all your support!

A big, heartfelt thank you to all of you for supporting our project! We are so excited to move forward with our ItaBuddies production, and we are looking forward to bringing you your new favorite bag.

Shepherds come in last second!

In the last few moments of the campaign, we unlocked the German Shepherd, bringing us to fourteen unlocked designs — Lion, Snow Leopard, Tiger, Red Panda, Wolf, Corgi, Husky, German Shepherd, Red Fox, Fennec Fox, Grey Fox, Thylacine, Australian Shepherd, and Dhole. Which are you looking forward to getting?

Could we still get Dragons?

For those of you who are Dragon fans, we are going to do our best to negotiate a deal with the manufacturer to get our Dragon produced for you too (products tend to be cheaper the more you order at a time, and the three sponsors added a lot of quantity to our order—this could potentially lower unit price). We should have the results of that effort around the time the survey is ready to launch.

What’s next in the timeline

For the next steps, in the next two weeks we will see Kickstarter charging backers for their pledge. Our survey is scheduled to be released via Backerkit to your email address around the two weeks point as well; this is where you inform us which products you would like for your support, provide your shipping address, etc.

Future Endeavors

Regarding the future — Fursona Pins is thrilled with the prospect of releasing new designs in the years to come for our ItaBuddies bag. Feel free to share which species you’d like to see us release in the future!

Thank you to everyone for your support, and let’s look forward to these cute bags! ☺️

Aussie Updates!

Hello everyone! We just got the concept in for the Australian Shepherd, which is going to be added as a sponsor bag to the campaign!

If you like this design, feel free to pledge for it :)

We’re about three days out from the end time and it’s time to make that final push toward $60,000. Let’s do it!

Four days left... just a bit more to go!

Just a little more to go!

Hello everyone!

We have a remaining four days in the campaign, and around $7,000 to go before we unlock all the bag designs!

Now is a great time to share this campaign with your friends! Spread the word so that we can reach that final total and unlock everything, in addition to the sponsors.

Speaking of sponsors, we just got an Australian Shepherd sponsor... so look forward to the artwork reveal! :) If you've been thinking about sponsoring a bag species, now's the time to contact us to get it sorted out! Soon as the campaign ends, sponsorships close!

The final 48 (the last two days of a Kickstarter campaign are very important) is coming soon and we are thrilled to see where the campaign ends! We're really hoping to see everything unlocked. 

Let's do it!
