2020 Coronavirus Merch Run -

[Appleyard]

I'm in no rush for stuff. I would prefer eggshell stickers though. Currently not easy to put stickers in places without being noticed, as y'know I'd be the sole person on the campus.

Apologies for the delay and lack of communication.

In short, he's having logistical issues getting the raw material. The company that sells eggshell stickers has been shut down entirely and will be shut down until further notice. He's having to source destructible stickers from a new company. This still doesn't include shirts.

The plan is to still fulfill the sticker-only orders as soon as possible and then do the combination orders when printing can begin. I've received the bill for the stickers so that's moving forward.

Everyone is just sort of stressed out and a lot of shit comes from China which is still being blockaded essentially.

 

[stupid fuck]

It's gonna be a few months before we can legally leave the house to slap stickers in discrete locations anyways.

discreet locations lmaooooo

 

[Pargon]

Yeah eggshell was a huge selling point

Same. I want to annoy/upset/entertain people by spreading awareness of kiwidom. That's much harder to do when any fuckface can just rip the stickers off when their sensibilities are offended.

Echoing the more important message that waiting is worthwhile, tho.

 

[Null]

Did you receive the money? That's all that matters right now. T-shirts and stickers are just things. We can wait.

No. I can maybe expect my first disbursements this week, but that is the absolute earliest. I'll start calling them on Monday.

 

[Oban Lazcano Kamz]

ill make sure to put up a sticker in the white house for you null.

Meanwhile I'm still anxious about if my order really went through since it vanished off my statement. But again, I have the confirmation email, so I'm going to assume yes and worry about it when the time comes for the combination orders. Really, I just want to make sure my money's not lost to the void (and is preferably where I bloody sent it).

Good, maybe manufacturers will learn to stop sourcing their shit from the chinks. I hear Thai factories are lovely this time of year.

If you bought during the 2nd run on the new processor I'm not sure what the deal is. I'm pretty sure they captured everything, but it might show up after they actually submit it for settlement.

Thanks for the update I'll continue to wait for the stickers and shirt. It will be a nice end of quarantine surprise.

 

[Cure Milquetoast]

Well, by the way things are going, I'll end up getting my hoodie when it starts getting cold again. Not a bad thing by any means.

 

[DumbDude42]

By the time the shirts get sent out I'm going to have completely forgot I ordered one and it's gonna be a surprise when I get it.

Nice.

by the time the shirts get sent out half the people who ordered them will have gained 30 pounds of weight because they're sitting on their asses all day due to quarantine, so the shirts will no longer fit lol

It's no big deal, I can handle a little delay with getting some spreadable works of art that may-or-may-not trigger a WHOLE lotta people.

Tbh id rather wait longer for eggshell stickers

Yeah eggshell was a huge selling point

Eggshell stickers and destructible stickers are just different names for the same kind of product, Null mentions it in the OP.

That said going with a different company for sticker manufacturing is only mildly worrying to me, I just hope some random jack-off won't be able to peel these ones off.

Hmmm ok, this is fine.
Hopefully they come before the site dies (is kidding ofc; love this place)
9chan is doing better than expected btw; guud jerb

 

[God]

by the time the shirts arrive nobody is gonna remember what the logo on the shirt was in reference to

 

[Happy Fish]

Do another sticker run to fund a sticker printer.

 

[Alex Poulos]

So is splitting combined orders that contain clothing and stickers an option or not? Seriously, this can take another year until the China ban is lifted, and this is an optimistic estimation, considering that WWIII is around the corner.

 

[AlexaAutismo]

Does this update mean that ALL merch is shipping sooner than expected or just stickers?

 

[Happy Fish]

If my tasty kiwi soup hoodie is here soon I would be soooooooo happy

 

[Archeops]

Oh yeah, with some of the restrictions easing up here and people still being scared shitless to go outside I'm gonna enjoy putting these stickers around town. But I will keep a couple for myself as mementos, gotta remember that I contributed to the site in some way.

Also, have enamel pins (like the kinds you see at Disney theme parks) ever been considered for merch runs or are the costs too high to consider?

Seconded, I'd like to know this as well despite only ordering stickers.
