Kickstarter updates

Hey all, new to this community. I purchased a ChessUp 2 board via the official ChessUp website (not kickstarter) and I am so exstatic to get this. Literally checking these forums, the offical website, social media, etc for any updates on shipping date. I know when I ordered it estimated mid december for delivery day, but was just wondering if there are any updates about the timeline on the kickstarter page? Unfortunately since I didn’t buy my board through kickstarter I am unable to see the updates.

Anyway, sorry to be a bother, but I just haven’t been this excited about something in a long, long time!

They sent out the email to collect details from kickstarter backers last night/this morning, I think. I believe they’ll fulfill all kickstarter backers first, then move on to folks who purchased through the website quickly thereafter, but don’t quote me as I don’t work for them and have no inside knowledge :smile:

The latest update from the 17th on Kickstarter says there is a ship at port unloading now in California. It will then truck to two warehouses in the U.S. from there for U.S. deliveries. They feel comfortable with delivery timeline before Christmas.

Canada postal workers are on strike, so they’re unsure of the impact to deliveries there that this might cause.

Asia, including the middle east, oceana, and south africa, those boards are expected to be finished in the next two weeks and then packed and shipped directly from the manufacturer to the end customers in these locations.

Europe, will go by way of Singapore to Rotterdam, Netherlands, the fastest route available. ETA into Rotterdam is the 11th of December. Their warehouse is 50km from the port there. They expect goods in the warehouse there by the 15th. They hope to unload, pack and ship within 2 days after that. If nothing slips. that leaves a week for delivery before Christmas. They’ll try their best to meet that.

Hope that helps.
