Coronavirus Update: Master Tier Pin Production
Added 2020-02-10 16:07:27 +0000 UTCHey everyone! First, the January packages, sans pins, were shipped last Friday. They should be arriving this week & next week.
Beyond that, we've had unfortunate news that’s out of our control. Due to the Coronavirus, manufacturers in China are closed. We first believed this would just the new year holiday extension that the CCP announced, but we’ve since found out that things are quite a bit more serious. We’ve been informed that the factory plans to re-open on the 17th of February.
Our January pins were almost done before Chinese New Year, but weren’t quite over the finish line. This means they’re essentially sitting there, almost finished, but out of reach.
February’s pins were ordered weeks ago, but due to the closures, they’ll also be late. I anticipate us receiving them in early to mid-March. March’s pins are currently ordered, and I expect to receive them in mid-March. April’s pins are mid-design and will be ordered by the end of this week, meaning they’ll be with us for mid-March.
It's a terrible situation all around, with extreme levels of suffering in China. It seems like new infection rates are beginning to plateau, so the virus should burn out. Still, what a terrible situation, and large tragedy.
