Small Italian Car Ita Bags: Shipping Update

Almost everyone (there are still a few outstanding -- don't freak out if you haven't gotten yours yet!) should have received emails from the shipping service I use, Pirate Ship! Just as a note: that means I’ve printed the postage, it’s going to take a while to roll everything into my local post office (I’m currently packing & shipping everything by myself), but the process has started! You will be receiving another shipping email from BackerKit once things have made their way to the post office.
A Quick Rundown of Possible Inquiries:
• The charge from Backerkit for shipping is going to show up as my business name, willdrawforyou.com! They did not warn me of this or I would have changed the name to something more recognizable. Don’t be weirded out when that shows up on your credit card statement, that's just for shipping!
• The boxes are packed quite tightly! There’s protective wrapping, but please, don’t stab the box to open it — you may cut your bag!
• The bags each have a small silica gel packet enclosed in their protective wrapping. Be cautious if you have pets or small children so these do not get lost or eaten!
• The bags also will come a little squashed! Unpack them, take out the extra backing panels, strap, and and packing material, and give them a squish: they should shape themselves as they should be shaped.
• I'm quality checking the pins & bags as I pack them, but I'm human and things get missed -- if you receive something that concerns you, please email me directly!
Thank you again, everyone!

Everyone should have received a reminder email, but PLEASE check your mailing addresses -- they are going to be locked down on Monday!
Likewise, you should have been charged for shipping and any additional pre-orders after the orders were locked. If for some reason it didn't go through, please update your credit card information as necessary!
Thank you again, everyone, for reading a very short, very technical update :) I'll let you know when the bags are on the way!!

Well, about half of them anyway! They take up a lot of space on the truck apparently...
The bags look amazing, and are packed supremely well, and each one has an extra set of inserts for displaying pins on.
That means addresses are going to be locked this weekend, and shipping will start NEXT WEEK. This goes for both orders that involve only pins, orders that involve only bags, and orders that involve both -- thanks to the bonuses, EVERYONE IS GETTING PINS :)
If you haven't filled out your survey yet, PLEASE DO! If you haven't received your survey yet, please leave a note here -- the surveys are through BackerKit, NOT Kickstarter, and they're also where you pay for shipping.
If you have a friend who has been thinking about it but hasn't ordered a bag yet, they can still be ordered at fiatchan.com!
Thanks so much again, everyone! I can't wait to get these bags and pins out to you!

Hi, everyone!
I said I'd update with shipping information, and I have received shipping information -- the bags have been quality checked and are being shipped! And it's going to take...let's go with "a while" to get from the factory to me. They're coming by boat!
So the original estimated shipping date of August is now updated to September. I'm so sorry for the delay! I'll be sure to post when the bags arrive and shipping to you starts :)
Thanks so much for your patience!

Thanks everyone for your patience! I've just gotten word from the factory that the bags are being quality-checked right now:
Which means we are hopefully on schedule for a September ship-out!
Likewise, the pins are arriving, including a special acrylic pin for Kickstarter backers:
Art by my friend Ellery!
So yes, not only will all backers be receiving what they backed, but bag backers will be receiving extra pin displays, and ALL backers will be receiving TWO BONUS PINS as a thank you for your support!
I will keep everyone updated as the bags make their way across the ocean, and thank you all again!
