Quarantined... update on shipments!

My state (Massachusetts) has shut down all non-essential businesses. This does not include the post office, however, I would like to hold off on shipments until we can get a better grasp on this situation.
It's going to be a big expense to ship all of these packages so I'm reluctant to test the abilities of the postal system under stress like this. They're being overworked with everyone shopping from home, plus I'm sure a lot of workers will be getting sick and won't be able to work. If anything gets lost or returned to me I'm not able to get refunds on any of the postage paid and I can't risk taking that financial hit ><
I've been planning to ship in April but I would like to hold off until May. I'll keep everyone updated if that date needs to be pushed further back!
Feel free to message me anytime :)

Poes are here! Still aiming for April shipments

Although I have all these plushies now, please expect about another 4-6 week wait for delivery! I'm still waiting on some items to arrive before I can finish assembling the schoolboy Poes. The virus situation has held up some things with the other manufacturers needed to complete everything with the project. I'm just prepping everything as well as I can in the mean time. The expected delivery time when I started the Kickstarter was in April so we're still aiming for that goal
Also RE: Virus concerns:
The lifespan of the virus without a host is 9 days. The plushies were dropped off around January 20th and basically underwent quarantine in a shipping container for about 6 weeks. Additionally, I'll be taking some time putting packages together and sorting everything out to be ready to go in April so for sure any germage that may have been present will be nonexistent at this point. I'll also set aside any packages I receive from new manufacturers to be in time out for a bit as a precaution
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at anytime!
There's also 8 days left on my weenie dog pin project, you can check it out by clicking the image below~

Quick update on the plushies, luckily they shipped before all of the stuff with the virus so I shouldn't have any trouble receiving them. They arrived in New York yesterday and now are on their way for me to pick up in Boston around the 4th!

I just launched the final part of the main series of the weenie dog pins! Now there's also an option to design your own based on your pup :)

Hi everyone :> I got a notification that the ship with all of the Poes will be arriving in New York on the 27th, and from there I can expect them to arrive in Boston on March 5th
I'm still planning on APRIL to ship the plushies out to backers. Everyone will be notified through Backerkit when I'm about to lock in addresses, and you'll be given a couple days to update your address
Please message me if you have any questions!

Plushie update + Poe's Pin Club goodies
over 4 years ago

Hello :> The plushies are due to be finished on the 21st and will be shipping to me by sea asap! It will take around 6-8 weeks to arrive here and then I can begin assembling (attaching the backpacks, charms, and hat badges) and shipping right away. Please bear in mind I'm just one person with some occasional help! Last year I was able to ship 600 orders within 6 weeks, and this project is about half of that, so I expect to be able to finish in about 4 weeks :>
Aiming for March/April deliveries, please message me if you have any questions
Also, I have a monthly pin club on Patreon. Next month's theme is gachaPOEn! You can sign up anytime before the end of the year to reserve these items, and you won't be charged until January 1st. Prices start at $11 monthly for US customers and $11.50 (every other month) for international customers

Lastly, today is final day to order to ensure Christmas delivery for anything currently available in my shop!
