Hi Ultimates,
Time for another weekend update!
Project Status & Expectations
The dUltimate dice have arrived
See earlier blogpost on the arrival of the dice: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lenpolygon/dultimate-a-multifunctional-dice-design/posts/402053
Boxes
The boxes are in the final stage: laser engraving the logo.
Laser engraving the logo!
Shortly after they will be boxed and packaged to be shipped to the Netherlands.
Timeline
Last time I talked about shipping the boxes via sea of air. Unfortunately air is much too expensive, thus we use this as a fast method of transport.
The other bad news is that due to disturbances in shipping world all ship from China to the Netherlands have to go all the way around Africa passing Cape of good hope. Which adds up to at least 60 days of transport.
The good news is; there's another mode of transport for these long distances that I didn't consider: trains! Thus, all the boxes will be packed on trains later this month and will arrive at my doorstep a little over 40 days later. Still a long time, but I hope everyone can appreciate this slight reduction in time before we can start with the fulfillment.
In terms of pricing, transport by train for this shipment is about 25% more expensive compared to transport by sea. This is my way of letting you all know that I'm taking every part of this project seriously am 100% determined to make sure the final product remains high quality and gets delivered as soon as possible.
Based on this; I expect that the boxes will arrive here earliest at the end of May and that the first dUltimate dice will be fulfilled on June 1st 2024.
Of course, more updates will follow as we closely monitor this process. Thank you all for your patience!!
Moving soon?
Address changes can still be made by using your PledgeBox survey link. Before the dice will be shipped I'll send out a reminder for everyone to check their address information via mail/Kickstarter.
As always, for any questions and comments you can contact me at info@lenpolygon.com
Keep on rolling!
