National Parks Oracle Deck

Hi everyone,

I wanted to pop in with a quick update before the end of the month, buuuut unfortunately there's nothing new to report just yet.

Last month our manufacturer New Titan let us know that our shipment had been delayed until late May due to the availability of shipping vessels. We're hoping to get an update from New Titan soon about whether or not our oracle decks have successfully been loaded onto a cargo ship and are right now making their journey across the ocean....

So no new news on shipping, but I am delighted to get to share this little video that New Titan had sent of the deck while it was being printed! It's really cool to get to see the giant uncut sheets of the cards. (Big thank you to Crys for solving my tech issues and getting it onto Youtube!)

Thank you again for your continued patience, we're really excited for the decks to arrive and to start sending them out to all of you!

Hi everyone,

I'm here with a quick update on the project progress. Our manufacturer let us know that production is complete, but our shipment had to be rolled to the next available voyage, meaning it's being delayed until probably late May. 

We were really hoping that the decks would arrive before the end of this month, so this news is disappointing. International shipping continues to be a wild and chaotic adventure, to say the least.

Again, thank you for your continued patience, and I'll post a new update once we've gotten a confirmed ETA from our manufacturer!

Hi everyone,

Happy Spring, and thanks for your continuing patience—I'm back with another update!

Deck production is still chugging along and we just got a video of the sample deck from New Titan! Check it out here (link goes to DropBox). The finished product will have some differences (rounded edges and no numbers on the cards) but we are still so excited to see the deck existing in real life!

I'm hesitant to make a new prediction about when we'll starting fulfillment to backers because we haven't received a delivery ETA from the manufacturer yet. As soon as we get that info from New Titan, I'll be back with another update!

Important note: please get in touch with us ASAP at [email protected] if you need to update your address or any payment info—we've gotten a surprising number of declined charges and fraud disputes over the shipping charges and we want to make sure we can fulfill everyone's orders! :)

Hi everyone!

We're finally in the home stretch with production! There were some expected delays with the Lunar New Year holiday and some unexpected delays with my bank sending payment to the manufacturer, but everything is back on track and we are looking forward to seeing some samples of the deck very soon!

In the meantime our fulfillment partners (my mom and dad, who were a HUGE help with getting my last solo project fulfilled) are getting everything prepped to ship out as soon as the oracle decks are delivered.

Shipping charges for the packages have been calculated based on current USPS rates, and on Friday, March 6th we will be charging cards for shipping and any add-ons purchased through the Pledge Manager.

If you need to make any changes to your address or your order, please send an email to [email protected] and we'll be happy to help!

That's all the updates for now! I'll leave you with some photos of the rewards that are already in hand, and I'll be back as soon as we have new updates on the deck production and a delivery estimate from the manufacturer.

Our little 3-person team has continued to be plagued with some difficult life circumstances (since starting this project: a health crisis, a divorce, a family member's death, and a job loss, among **gestures at everything**). We’ve been forging ahead slower than we hoped but we’ve signed off on all the contracts with our printing partner, and manufacturing of the deck is underway. The finish line is in sight! 

As an extra thank you for your grace and patience, we'll be sending all of our backers a freebie polar bear sticker with your other items.

Status of items:

We will be back with some photos of the items we have in receipt as soon as we can. Carrie is in the thick of an illness, but we didn't want to wait longer to share an update on the progress we've made.

More soon!
