Spread Machine Cards + Oracle Shipping Updates for Kickstarter Pledges & Pre-orders
Latest Update 4/7, 2021: THE DECKS ARE BACK IN STOCK! Shipping resumes immediately. I am now packing & shipping out the rest of the Kickstarter pledges, and will swiftly move on to the pre-orders and regular orders next. Thank you so much for waiting!!
Latest Update 4/1, 2021: The decks have cleared customs! Now I’m waiting for UPS to pick them up and deliver the decks to me. I am optimistic that I can start shipping later this week or by next week at the latest. Fingers crossed that there are no more delays!!!
UPDATE
Hey guys! I know you’ve all been anxiously waiting for your Spread Machine Cards + Oracle to arrive - I have some unfortunate (but not too too bad) news regarding the shipping progress. As you can see, the shipping process is currently paused. Don’t worry, nothing terrible has happened! Just an unexpected delay. Keep reading to find out why!
While I have managed to ship out over half of the Kickstarter pledges, I still have over 300+ pledges left, as well as all the pre-orders. However, the shipping process has sadly gone into a halt because I am waiting for the rest of the decks to arrive.
After all the Spread Machine decks were printed, I arranged for them to be shipped to me via two batches - one smaller batch by air, which would be faster so I could get started on the shipping process. The second batch was shipped by sea, which would take longer (but would really save me some money) and would arrive just in time for me to seamlessly ship out the pledges and pre-orders.
My original plan was to spend 3 - 4 weeks sorting out the initial shipments, and by the time I ship out the initial smaller batch, the second batch would have arrived for me to continue the shipping process.
From what I can find out from my printer, the decks have already (technically) arrived but they are being “held hostage” at the customs and are awaiting clearance. Apparently, the Department of Health is taking extra precautions to screen the parcels coming in from overseas due to the pandemic - which I completely understand, but gah! I want the decks to get here already so I can get them to you!! Ugh.
So yes - this is why there has been an epic cloggage when it comes to shipping out the rest of the Kickstarter orders as well as pre-orders. *Sad panda noises*
WHEN CAN YOU EXPECT TO RECEIVE YOUR KICKSTARTER PLEDGE AND PRE-ORDERS?
To be honest, I am not exactly sure how long it’s going to take for the decks to be released - I am hoping I’ll get them by the end of this week or next week. It’s already been over 2 weeks. Maybe 3? I’ve been checking the UPS tracking every day. I’ve lost track of time 😭
As soon as the shipping resumes, the rest of the Kickstarter pledges will go out first, followed by the pre-orders.
I apologize for the wait and I appreciate your patience. I also apologize that I don’t have an exact date since I don’t know when the decks will arrive. :(
Please be rest assured that I will assume shipping and go BEAST MODE 🔥💪 as soon as the decks arrive so I can get them to you! And I will of course keep you posted if there are any updates.
