6000 Orders Shipped so far!!!
over 1 year ago – Fri, Oct 14, 2022 at 04:08:48 AM

Hey Gang!

Things are shipping out!!

Woo!!!

I have been loving seeing all the instagram stories of people getting their stuff.

It's been really cool seeing some review videos and receiving some really nice thank you emails from thoughtful backers. You have no idea how happy that makes me after this gauntlet of design and manufacturing.

The very first order shipped out was to Adeline O.

So thanks Adeline for helping kick things off!

In the beginning the shippers started out with simple orders inside the USA that contained 1 or 2 decks, just to make sure they were working out any kinks as they familiarized themselves with handling the campaign and also while waiting for some custom packaging to arrive for the more complex orders with many types of items.

There was a small issue where a couple boxes of Vivid Kingdoms Decks were incorrectly labeled by the manufacturers with barcodes and UPC's that said "KINGS BLOOD"

This meant that some backers got duplicate Vivid Kingdoms decks when they were supposed to get Kings Blood. 

We have been shipping out the correct decks to those backers when they informed us about the mixup. (And they got to keep the extra Vivid Kingdoms decks they were sent too, so hopefully that softens the blow on that mistake)

I have been informed the special edition black decks are about a week out from completion.(estimate)

When those are done literally everything for this campaign will be done! (*phew*)

One last note.

After getting feedback from some backers who got their orders already,  I discovered some people are not getting tracking information. I made a bit of a fuss with my shippers and we are working to make sure tracking emails are being sent to backers as each order ships. The tracking information should be going to the email address you submitted on backerkit. It will be coming from the shipping software being used by my fulfillment partners, so the email will not be from backerkit or kickstarter, it will be a separate thing.

Thanks so much everyone!

Can't wait to see what you all think.

It is such a huge relief to see these getting into you all's hands.

Thanks so much for coming along on this wild ride with me and thanks so much for supporting my artwork and my deck of cards!

Very exciting times!

Thanks again, one more time :) ... THANK YOU!

Processing Orders

Hey Folks

The past few weeks my team has been converting thousands of sku's and orders into the most streamlined and understandable format for the shipping partners and the software being used to process orders.

With how kickstarter uses surveys to ask for things like garments size, color, which deck to be signed and other stuff like that, the skus and items were all over the place.

The team at launch fulfillment and my team have been working back and forth to get a final master list of ever order and every item into a format that is understandable for the people picking and packing the orders.

That master list has been completed and the orders should start going out very soon.

Thanks for your patience.

We are just about there.

Thanks

Quick Update on the shipping progress
over 1 year ago – Tue, Aug 30, 2022 at 02:26:56 AM

Hey Gang!

Just a quick update.  Since I last checked in early August.

- All orders and addresses have now been locked.

-We have exported all the orders and are in the process of getting 24k orders into Launch Fulfillments System in batches so the system can handle it.

- The truck service getting the cards from Texas to Utah wasn't picking up the cards at the scheduled date for some reason, but after some back and forth,  now the cards are on their way to Utah and should be there very soon if not already.

- Launch Fulfillment is getting all the appropriate packing materials to fulfill orders.

- They estimate sending out about 1000 orders a day. But they are hoping to exceed that number by figuring out the most efficient way to send stuff out.

I am soooooo freaking excited to get this stuff shipped out to you guys.

Thanks so much for hangin tough with me.

What a saga this has been.

Thanks

ORDERS SHIPPING SOON. ADDRESSES WILL BE LOCKED IN 7 Days
over 1 year ago – Sat, Aug 06, 2022 at 02:05:37 AM

Hey Folks.

Gamblers Warehouse is gearing up to send out a large shipment of finished playing cards to my fulfillment warehouse in Utah.

In order to start shipping we need to lock in your final addresses.

You have 7 days to update your shipping address before we lock them in.

I will be locking in the addresses at 2:00PM EST on Friday Aug 12.

If you need to update your address you can do it on the survey you were sent by BackerKit. (You can search your email inbox for "backerkit" to find that)

If you have lost your survey you can request another one here:

https://vividkingdoms.backerkit.com/

/////////////////////////////

By the time I lock the addresses, the decks will probably be getting loaded onto the trucks to head to Utah. Then there is the travel time for them to get to Utah. Probably 4-10 days I'm guessing.

Once Launch Fulfillment get's the cards, they are estimating roughly two weeks to send out the orders.

This is just an estimate right now. There are many different items associated with this campaign and many of the 24k orders are slightly different from one another, so this will be a very hands on fulfillment job that involves a lot of hand-picking of individual items.

Special Note: The Special Edition Black decks are still being made due to the gilding, custom tuck, and custom sleeve for that deck. So those backers who got their hands on one of those will have to wait just a little longer than the folks who didn't snag one.

Thanks so much!

Peter
