Latest Updates from Our Project:

Getting close to complete rewards fulfilment!
almost 3 years ago – Mon, Jun 14, 2021 at 12:46:00 AM

Happy Monday Rebuilding Tomorrow backers!


I'm excited to report in on rewards fulfilment. It's all good news as I'm very close to completing rewards fulfilment to all our project backers.

This morning I sent off the bulk parcel of enamel pins for all backers in the USA and I hope they will arrive next week or so for domestic shipping. Last week, I posted the bulk parcel of enamel pins for all European backers. 

That means I'm now down to, and currently working on, the final rewards containing a handmade reward. I believe I have been in contact with everyone in this crew. I'm feverishly knitting and quilting away to finish those up ASAP! 


Enamel Pins

Enamel pins have been mailed out in batches - the big packages for mailing to USA and the EU have now been sent to my kind contacts. Once these arrive, they will be mailed to those waiting via domestic shipping. Look out for these arriving in two to three weeks. 

All other pins have been sent out.


Print books

All paperback and hardcover books have been sent unless they are part of a reward level with a handmade item. For those waiting for handmade items - if you're in Australia, your print books will arrive with the handmade item. For those outside of Australia, the books will come in a separate parcel. 


Mugs!!

The mugs arrived and have now all been sent out to backers!

I do have some spare mugs leftover if you have decided you might now like one! I think you can still use the Backerkit link to "add on" to order (click the Preorder button on Kickstarter to access).


Handmade Rewards

If you backed for knitted socks, thank you for your information. There are socks currently on my knitting needles and will begin to be mailed out very soon.

If you backed for a coaster, it seems the teapots theme was very popular! I'm making a few extra of those so they will go out hopefully next week.
If you backed for a cowl, most of these have been sent unless I'm still waiting for you to let me know on your colour choices. 


Printed Art Canvas
The canvas image came out so well! These have all been printed and mailed, and received! 


Digital Rewards
All digital rewards have been fulfilled. If you have any queries about these or any other rewards, please reach out to me and I can troubleshoot it for you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support of the Rebuilding Tomorrow Kickstarter and for Twelfth Planet Press.

Latest Update for Rewards Fulfilment
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Apr 15, 2021 at 09:30:49 AM

Hi Rebuilding Tomorrow supporters!

Just a quick report in on where I am up to on rewards fulfilment. 

I am working on the final 90 or so of our backers' rewards. Just a reminder that I manually update the tracking information into Backerkit as I get it. If you receive your book before the tracking info gets emailed to you please enjoy the speed of the mail delivery service and don't stress. DO stress if you get the tracking info and your book doesn't arrive within the following week or so. Please do feel free to send me a message to query.


Enamel Pins 

Enamel pins are still being mailed out in batches. No update on these - though I hope to complete the big packages for mailing to USA and the EU by next week.

New Zealand, Asia and Canada parcels have all been mailed.


Print books

All paperbacks as part of the Rebuild Tomorrow level have been mailed. The remaining paperback and hardback copies as part of other levels are still going out and are mostly held up only as I source other items in the package.

Remaining Australian backers at the Rebuild Tomorrow the Hardback Way level should have tracking numbers by the end of this week.


Mugs!!
I've been following up with my printer on the mugs as I was pretty grumpy over both the quality of the finished product and the length of time taken to deliver replacements. The printer has assured me that they too are very unhappy and have been following up with the distribution on replacement mugs. I have been assured that these will be in next week and we should have replacement mugs then. I'm thinking good thoughts that these will be both what I ordered and arrive ASAP. 


Handmade Rewards

If you backed for knitted socks, thank you for your information. There are socks currently on my knitting needles and these will begin to go out very soon.
If you backed for a cowl, I will be emailing you this afternoon with images of the finished cowls on offer for you to select yours and then I'll be posting those out to you just in time for the cooler weather (in Australia).


Printed Art Canvas
The art canvasses arrived last week and are sitting here ready to be posted out.  I'll be doing that likely tomorrow at my post office so Greg, my postmaster, can approve/recommend best way for it to go to avoid damage. 


Digital Rewards
All digital rewards have been fulfilled. If you have any queries about these or any other rewards, please reach out to us.

Thanks for your support and patience!

Shipping Update
about 3 years ago – Wed, Mar 10, 2021 at 09:44:21 PM

Hi Rebuilding Tomorrow Kickstarter Backers and Preorder Customers,


Apologies for the long time between drinks! 

It has taken me longer to fulfil the paperback copy rewards than I had planned due to urgent parenting demands ie kid who was supposed to be at Kindy for that week I posted the last update got sent home for a full week with the most minor of kid illnesses and things fell off the wagon from there. 


But I'm back and can report in that all rewards for the Rebuild Tomorrow (paperback only) level have now been mailed. I manually update the tracking information into Backerkit  as I get it so don't stress if you receive your book before the tracking info gets emailed to you. DO stress if you get the tracking info and your book doesn't arrive within the next week or so. Feel free to send me a message to query. 


Enamel Pins

Enamel pins are still being mailed out in batches. 

USA and European backers will be mailed in one big package that's still to go out.

New Zealand, Asia and Canada parcels have all been mailed.


Paperbacks

All paperbacks as part of the Rebuild Tomorrow level have been mailed. The remaining paperback copies as add ons or as part of other levels are going out next.


Hardbacks

Hardbacks have started going out but only a few at this stage have been sent. Keep an eye on your emails for your tracking info as this updates. 


 Mugs
I'm very unhappy with the mugs we have received. We ordered a white mug with the logo design and a teal(ish) interior. The printer's supplier is unable to source the mugs we ordered and we've been offered a choice of dark blue or black instead. I'm still in discussions to sort out a solution. However, if this mug works for you and you'd it now, get in touch and I can send this as your reward fulfilment. Otherwise, stay tuned for the resolution on this one.  

Handmade Rewards
If you backed for knitted socks, you should have received an email from me requesting measurements and colour preferences so I can make your pair.  If you haven't, please get in touch.
If you backed for a cowl, I have begun to fulfil these rewards and you should hear from me this week to choose yours.

Digital Rewards
All digital rewards have been fulfilled. If you have any queries about these or any other rewards, please reach out to us.
I shall send another update next Monday (I promise this time!).

Have a great rest of the week,
Alisa

Shipping rewards is underway - update!
about 3 years ago – Mon, Feb 15, 2021 at 08:13:29 AM

Hi Rebuilding Tomorrow Kickstarter Backers and Preorder Customers,


I thought I'd give you a quick status update on where we are at with shipping out rewards - thank you so much for your patience. 


Enamel Pins

This week, I have begun to post out enamel pin rewards. If you live in Australia, you should receive yours this week or next. Since the pandemic, Australia Post has changed the rules for large letters, which was how we had budgeted to send magnets and pins overseas. We will instead be imposing on the kindness of a friend in the USA and Tsana in Europe to receive a package of all pins for those territories to then be posted domestically. Those will also head out this week. Other addresses, including New Zealand, Asia and Canada will get posted directly from Australia this week as intended. 


Paperbacks

I began shipping out paperback copies of Rebuilding Tomorrow, plus other paperback add ons, late last week. I'm emailing out the tracking information for your parcels, either through Backerkit and/or the shipping company. I expect to complete these by mid this week so if you haven't received a tracking update by the weekend, please don't hesitate to get in touch.


Hardbacks

When we were planning this project, we weren't really sure how to factor in Brexit for cost changes and shipping issues. It's not like we didn't contemplate delays over printed and shipping from the UK to Europe. It was more a ... well where should we add buffer into timelines etc? As it turns out, we were looking at the proof copies right about the time the border went up and all those trucks sat on the UK side in Kent. With our proof copies on their way to Tsana to sign off. The paperback and hardback books get printed on separate machines at the printer and often get sent separately even when they are in the same order. Thus, the paperback made its way to Tsana and she was able to tweak a few issues and sign off on it. Unfortunately, the hardback has never made it to her! But, we're nothing if not spry and nimble here at Twelfth Planet Press and I am currently working on signing off on the hardback version. We shall have this out to backers as soon as we can. I will keep you updated on their progress. 


Mugs

We have received the mugs. However, I was very disappointed to find they were plain white mugs instead of our ordered white mugs with internal teal. It seems their supplier is now waiting on a new shipment of the correct mugs to reprint our order. I'm hoping for an update this week and will pass along to you.


Handmade Rewards

If you backed for knitted socks, you should have received an email from me requesting measurements and colour preferences so I can make your pair.  If you haven't, please get in touch. 

If you backed for a cowl, I have begun to fulfil these rewards and you should hear from me this week to choose yours. 


All digital rewards have been fulfilled. If you have any queries about these or any other rewards, please reach out to us.


I shall send another update next Monday! 

Have a great week,

Alisa

Quick shipping update
about 3 years ago – Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 07:13:13 PM

Hello lovely backers! 

I hope you all had an adequately pleasant end of year and new year period!

We wanted to give you a quick update on where Rebuilding Tomorrow currently stands. As I mentioned in my previous update, all digital rewards should have gone out, so if you're not waiting on physical rewards, you can skip the rest of this update.


Books

The paperback has been finalised and approved and paperbacks have started going out to backers! The speed at which you will receive your copy will depend on your location and the current status of one or two postal systems.

Photos of the paperback of Rebuilding Tomorrow.

Unfortunately, the hardcover proof seems to be taking the scenic route to reach Tsana for approval. Rest assured that as soon as it is received and checked, the hardcovers will also start going out to backers.


Other physical rewards

...Are in the process of being sent out  — see below for a sample of one of our flower pot pins. The pins and magnets for Australian backers are on their way out the door and other rewards will follow soon. We will send another update when we have more news.

Stay safe, everyone!
