Hi all! Just a quick one from us today. Over half of all rewards have been shipped (reward batches for Wanderer Combos and Wanderer Notebooks). Next up are Wanderer Click Pens and Wanderer Fountain Pens. These batches, and likely additional batches, will be shipping next week.

Hi all,

Thank you so much for your patience and kind words after our update last month about Chad's dad. Things have stabilized for him right now, and we are hard at work wrapping this one up for you guys.

This is our shop right now!! Covered in your rewards!

A handful of rewards shipped last week, but a large (50+) batch of Wanderer Combos will be on their way before Thanksgiving. another big batch of rewards will be shipping next week.

Again, thank you all for making space for us to take care of family and run this business we love.

Cheers!

Hey folks.

We just wanted to take a minute this afternoon and give you all a quick update about where we are at with fulfilling all your rewards. We've had a couple personal bumps in the road here at the end of October, Chad's dad has not been well, that have slowed us down a bit. Almost all the pens and leather pieces are made, but now we are working on the large project of individually engraving each piece with the appropriate serial number and custom engraving (if ordered). AND making sure that those pieces get in the right package to each of you!! It's no small feat!

We're also happy to report that we've got all the serial numbers assigned, and, in almost every case, we were able to get you guys at least one of your three preferred numbers. We assigned the numbers in the order of when you guys joined the project. 

We're shooting for having the first batches ready to ship by the end of next week. If this changes we'll be sure to update you guys.

Thank you for your patience and support on this project!

Hi all!

Starting soon (maybe tomorrow!) we're going to be running reports from BackerKit to put together our first production runs. So, please get your surveys completed so we can get as many of you as possible into our first runs! :) As always, you can reach us at [email protected] with any questions.

Thanks!
