Fulfillment Progress + USA Delay (Customs Rejection)
4 months ago – Mon, Mar 23, 2026 at 01:33:29 PM

Hi backers! Spring and Living Minis should be arriving at your door soon 🌸

See below for a fulfillment breakdown! 

USA Fulfillment Delay - Customs Rejection

Unfortunately, the U.S. shipment of Living Minis was denied entry by customs due to an oversight on the part of our manufacturer, and is currently being returned to China via ocean freight.

We know this is a disappointing delay, but our manufacturer has assured us that they are prioritizing this issue and will reship the Living Minis to the U.S. as quickly as possible. The manufacturer has estimated it would take 1 month to return the shipment back to China, and then an additional month to ship it back. The current estimated delivery timeline is mid-June.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to resolve this and wait for the Living Minis to arrive.

Updated ETA: June 2026

Reminder: Incomplete Surveys (41!)

There are still a good number of incomplete surveys. For those who have not yet completed their surveys, we will have to delay shipping your rewards until your survey is completed.

Please remember to check the email connected with your Kickstarter account to make sure you haven't missed any emails from us. You can access your BackerKit account directly here: https://living-minis.backerkit.com/backer/welcome

If you are having any kinds of issues with this, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Reminder: Failed Payments (13!)

We continue to make a dent in this number but there are still a few orders with payment processing issues. These are backers whose cards are unable to be charged, either the information is incorrect or the payment has failed. Unfortunately, we're unable to ship rewards to these backers until their payment issue is resolved. 

We periodically retry cards, and if you update your card information your card will be retried immediately. If you are expecting rewards but haven't received them yet, please make sure your payment information is up to date.

Manufacturing Start + SHIFT Kickstarter
9 months ago – Fri, Oct 31, 2025 at 10:28:55 AM

Hey Backers! Hope you're having a great Halloween!

Short and sweet update this month: We have just finished all the animation and production files for manufacturing and have submitted them to the manufacturer!

We anticipate that the manufacturing process will take around 2 months and from there we will start freighting over the product over to our warehouses around the world. As there won't be much to discuss in the meantime, our next update will be in January 2026!

Don't forget to fill our your Backerkit surveys! Around 60 surveys have yet to be completed.
