Shipping Update
about 1 year ago – Fri, Feb 03, 2023 at 12:16:18 PM

Greetings, defenders! 

We're back with the latest on shipping: 

• EU/UK fulfillment is complete. Some orders may still be on their way to you.
• For backers in the United States, shipping is 90% complete.  There was a slight delay due to weather conditions in Dallas this week. All remaining orders should be shipped out next week.
• For backers in Canada, orders will start to ship in the next few weeks, packing items will be done in the US next week, and everything will be freighted on pallets into Canada and then placed in the Canadian Postal system as individual packages - Tracking on orders will start once the items enter Canadian Post. Your rewards are expected to start arriving in mid-March.
• For all other regions, VFI will start packing orders next week.  Once that’s complete orders will be sent to their regional hubs.  Check the VFI website for an updated status on each hub: https://vfi.asia/hubs/
   

Once we complete all the current orders, we will circle back to send out rewards to those that didn't complete their reward surveys in time.  Expect that to start happening in March.

Reminder: Missing/Damaged Items

As more rewards begin arriving, we want to offer the best help to all backers who need assistance! For anyone wishing to report damaged items or require replacement parts, please note the following instructions:

•  For Europe, please fill out a ticket here: https://support-ibc.surfinmeeple.com/open.php.
•  For all other regions, please send an email to [email protected]. 
• Include your Kickstarter email address & user name (this lets us know who you are)
• Include your current mailing address (this lets us know where to send replacements). It helps if you include your name as part of your address and use separate lines instead of commas.
• Tell us specifically what you are missing and/or damaged items. (This lets our team know what you are missing). Please check everything so we can send all replacements at one time. Please be specific - "I am missing everything" isn't specific.
• If applicable, attach pictures of damaged items and/or packaging. This is required if you want a replacement box - so please don't throw away damaged shipping boxes until you have taken pictures.
   

We will send a response email to you within seven days of the last email you send. Sending multiple emails will delay our response to you.

Have a great weekend!
