Next Steps for Backers

Thank you again for making this project a reality! Much progress has already been made, and there are a couple of steps to go before we can finalise fulfilment.
What's already happened:
- Kickstarter has transferred the funds from your pledges over to me, and I have started paying all my suppliers - my envelope guy is very excited. 😉
- Production has kicked off and is well underway, with printing expected to be completed between 6 - 13 October.
- Stress and dramas ensued as I realised that the pledge manager I was intending to use for this project was not capable of correctly measuring US import taxes. After much running about, I have found a better one. 😅
What still needs to happen:
- In a few days, you will receive an email survey from BackerKit to finalise your pledge - I’ll give you a heads-up before its sent so that you can watch for it. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can, since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again.
(If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to Kickstarter, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.)
- From Mon, 13 October, I'll start mailing out cards to backers who have completed their BackerKit survey.
Again, thanks for all your support. I can’t wait to send you your puzzle card(s). 🥰 I'll be back in touch shortly to let you know the surveys are being sent.

Wow wow wow! Thank you, everybody. I had no expectations in starting this campaign and you've all blown me away with your support. 325 backers from 17 countries - amazing!
I've already started the process with my printer and it looks like everything should be on track. Backers, expect to hear from me in the next couple of days with a survey, a more comprehensive production update, and information for the few people who have reached out to me about a personalised "Tied Up in Knots" wedding card. You are all just the best,
Kieran, Mystery Unfolds

Thank you, you glorious 235 individuals. 🥰 Just less than a week left in the campaign, and we are two-thirds of the way to our second stretch goal - stickers!!! 😁 Let's keep that momentum going.
.
--- New Video ---
In all the rush of the campaign launching, the one thing I didn't get around to was a video. Please enjoy me, Kieran, explaining what a puzzle card is and a little more about the campaign.
.
--- New Countries available for Delivery ---
As requested, delivery has now been made available in the following countries:
- Denmark
- Austria
- Switzerland
If you'd like to see delivery made available in your own country, get in touch.
.
--- Postage update for the USA ---
Last week, changes were announced to the way that import tariffs need to be collected for all business-to-consumer shipping from Australia to the USA. While this is causing disruption currently, Australia Post is addressing the issue and should have things resolved in the next week or so.
At this stage, I anticipate no delays in the delivery of this campaign to US backers, but I will keep you all abreast of the situation. 😉
.
--- Retail Conversations Begin ---
Today I've started individually emailing people who expressed an interest in becoming a retail stockist of Mystery Unfolds puzzle cards. If you haven't heard from me yet, AND you filled out the wholesale mailing list form, then you soon will. 😁

--- Other Campaigns I'm still greatly anticipating ---
