Quick Tracking Check-In 📦
24 days ago – Tue, Jul 07, 2026 at 08:02:15 PM

If your tracking appears stuck at first, it does not necessarily mean something is wrong: it may simply mean the parcel is still moving through one of the earlier batch/carrier processing steps before the individual tracking starts updating, or it may still be safely in our studio waiting to be dispatched with the next batch. 

Quick US Fulfillment Check-In: Next Group Notices Sent and Moving Forward! 📩📦
about 2 months ago – Sun, Jun 14, 2026 at 08:41:18 AM

Hi everyone,

A quick US fulfillment check-in:

The latest US fulfillment group has now been packed and is moving through the next dispatch steps.

We are now preparing to move forward with the next US group.
✉️ Direct advance notice emails for the upcoming tariff/import-related charge have now been sent to the backers included in this next group!

If you are a US backer, please check your inbox and spam/junk folder just in case.

If you received the email and need a little more time before the charge is processed, please reply directly to that email before the date mentioned there, and we can hold your pledge for a later round 

If you did not receive an email, that simply means your pledge is not included in this specific upcoming group yet. Fulfillment is continuing in organized segments, as explained previously ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

Thank you again!

EU/ROW (non-USA) Parcels: more Packages Getting Ready to Leave! 📦💨
2 months ago – Sat, May 30, 2026 at 10:31:02 PM

Hi everyone,
We wanted to share this small update because there is a lot happening behind the scenes between each fulfillment round, and we know it can be hard to see that from the outside.

So here's a quick behind-the-scenes fulfillment check-in dedicated to EU/ROW/non-US parcels.

The recent updates have understandably focused a lot on the US import-charge process and packing rounds, but that does not mean ROW parcels have been forgotten or left aside. While the next US segment is waiting for its import-charge step to be completed before those parcels can move forward, we have also been continuing with the packages that do not require that US-specific step.

As mentioned previously, fulfillment has not stopped in the meantime: these EU/ROW/non-US parcels can move through a different flow, so we have been preparing and dispatching them in parallel whenever possible.

>More progress updates will follow as needed while each part of fulfillment continues moving forward!

Thank you again to tose who're showing patience and support! It means a lot,
Inari & Mako

📦✨ Round 1 Wrapping Up + Round 2 Starting Soon!
2 months ago – Wed, May 27, 2026 at 08:03:12 PM

Hi everyone,

We have another happy fulfillment progress update to share!

The first fulfillment round is now almost fully complete on our side: the parcels included in this round have been packed and labeled, and the final batch from this first group will be dispatched within this week! Yay! 🎉

🎁 We are so happy to have reached this point now, and even happier knowing that some of the first parcels have already safely arrived to their new homes! 🥹💜

📸 Also, if your Bin Buddies parcel has already arrived — or once it does — we would absolutely love to hear from you!! Feel free to leave a comment in the Community section or under this update to let us know it reached you safely 💝
And if you’d like to share any photos of your rewards once they arrive, we would be so happy to see them! You can send them privately to [email protected]. 
If you’re also happy for us to do so, please let us know whether we may reshare your photos on our social media / Instagram as well!! 📬😍

>Now that Round 1 is wrapping up, we are preparing to move forward with Round 2.

💳The backers included in this second round have now received a direct email advance notice regarding their upcoming tariff/import-related charge.
This update also serves as public advance notice that we expect to begin processing the charges for this second group starting on June 1st, and not before then.

📩If you received the direct email notice for Round 2 but are not able to complete the payment at the moment, as always, please do not worry: simply reply directly to that email before June 1st and let us know. 
We can give you a time extension, exclude your pledge from this round, and handle it later instead.

Once the Round 2 charges have been processed, we’ll be able to begin preparing and packing those pledges as the next part of fulfillment moves forward.

📌For any recurring questions regarding tariff/import-related charges or the current fulfillment process, please continue to refer to the pinned Q&A update, which we will continue updating as needed.

Thank you so much for your patience and support while we move through each round step by step. Seeing parcels finally going out and arriving is making us incredibly happy, and we truly can’t wait to keep going! 📦💨

Have a lovely day,

Inari & Mako~

📦 More Parcels Shipped + First Segment Nearing Completion
3 months ago – Tue, May 12, 2026 at 02:43:36 PM

Hi everyone,
We wanted to share a new fulfillment progress update 🦝🗑️

Over the past weeks, we have continued packing and shipping more parcels from the first segment, and we are now getting close to finishing this first round before moving forward into the second segment.

We also already know that some parcels have safely arrived, which makes us incredibly happy and relieved to see after such a long journey 🥹💝

At the same time, in parallel with packing, we have also continued:

• quality checking the rest of the enamel pins;
• organizing them on the shelves;
• and preparing the next part of fulfillment so we can keep things moving forward as efficiently as possible.

Once this first segment is fully completed, we will move on to the next segment, which will then be the next group to be charged and prepared for packing.

We also want to briefly mention messages/emails/comments: we have received a very large volume of them, and while we have already gone through/responded to many, we are still catching up on others!
So if you wrote to us and have not received a reply yet, please know it has not been ignored — we might have missed it or may still be working through it -or the answer may already have been addressed indirectly through other updates/the pinned Q&A. And if needed, you are absolutely welcome to write to us again. We will keep responding as soon as we can.

Thank you again for your patience while we continue working through all of this step by step. We know it is still a slow process, but it is moving, and we are very grateful to everyone who still believes in us.

With love,
Inari & Mako
