Delivery Update
over 2 years ago – Wed, Dec 15, 2021 at 09:05:29 PM

I few of you have asked for an update  on the shipping.  Here are the highlights.

  • Production is done!  The cases are in a Chinese warehouse waiting for shipment.
  • Because of Brexit, we are in the process of getting a new UK VAT number with Simplyvat.   We will fulfill to the EU through the UK distribution center.
  • We are working with Quartermaster and ARC Global Logistics Inc to secure freight from China.  They are optimistic that they will secure a vessel for delivery in late February.

We will post additional updates once we get more information.

Happy Holidays

We REALLY appreciate your patience and hope each of you has an amazing Holiday.  Thank you!

Pledge Manager Locking!

Hello backers. We are in the process of working with Quartermaster and ARC Customs Brokerage to get Backyard Chickens to the distribution ports throughout the world.  This process requires final product counts for each region, so we ship the right number of games to each port. For this reason, we are Locking the pledge manager on December 1st, 2021.  Any addresses changes within the same country can occur up to January 15, 2021 by emailing Dan at [email protected].

Pledge Manger Going Out

Pledge Manager is Ready!

Hello!!!!  We finally approved the Backerkit pledge manager.   We ran into an issue with the way the add-ons were calculating shipping charges (No additional charges for the first 4 items).  It's all fixed!

Backerkit requires a smoke test to the first 10% of backers to make sure there are no technical issues.  This is going out today.  The rest should follow 48 hours later.

Our Rise of the Gnomes backers will have a shipping credit in the pledge managher.  Email Dan at [email protected] if you are a Rise Backer and do not see the credit.  He will fix is right away.

Thanks all!
