Last Chance To Update Your Shipping Address
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Dec 01, 2020 at 09:30:06 AM
After posting the previous update, quite a few of you have reached out to update shipping addresses (thanks for doing so!). I'd like to let you know that this is your last opportunity to change your shipping address. Shipping may start as soon as Friday, December 4th, thus I'll be locking all addresses at 9pm PST on Thursday, December 3rd. Please reach out to me at [email protected] to update your shipping address. I want every single backer to receive their game, so please let me know if there's any uncertainty and I'll figure something out for you.
Best,
Alec, Jenny, Andrew

Some people dream of fortune, others of fame. I dreamt of a perfectly fitting box lid!
Shipping Starting This Week
Just a quick update: we’re expecting your games to start shipping later this week. After shipping starts, I’ll make a separate update post outlining timelines and what to expect. For now, let the Thanksgiving turkey digest to make room for some Deadly Desserts.
It’s not too late (yet) to change your shipping address, feel free to reach out to [email protected]. Thanks so much for backing our project, I feel like a viewer of Michael Jackson’s most popular music video because I’m thrilled! No, but seriously, thanks a ton and I genuinely hope you have fun playing Deadly Desserts.
Have a great week!

Shipping Starting Early December

Here's Froyozen The Candy Commander and his teeny dessert minions.
Shipping Starting Early December
There aren’t any major updates, I just wanted to let you know that things are moving along. Your game is expected to be delivered to the fulfillment vendor during the first week of December. The vendor will then ship your game to you within the next 1-2 weeks. I’m hoping you receive your game before the holidays. However, I’m aware that shipping is currently congested. Either way, your game’s going to be JUICY.
Thanks again for backing our game! I feel like a dark room because I’m de-lighted for you to try Deadly Desserts. Feel free to reach out to [email protected] if you need to change your address or would like omelette advice.
Have a great weekend!

Production Finished | Shipping Starting in November | Charging Credit Cards

We hope your weekend was so fun that time slid right by!
Production Finished | Shipping Starting in November
Our Deadly Desserts games are fresh out of the manufacturing oven (pictures soon)! The games and Kickstarter-exclusives should arrive at a US fulfillment center by the beginning of November. Our fulfillment vendor will then ship your order to you within 2-3 weeks. If everything moves according to plan, you should receive your game by the beginning of December.
Charging Credit Cards
Several months ago, you completed a BackerKit survey for Deadly Desserts in which you entered your shipping address, payment method, and any add-ons. We have not charged you yet for BackerKit (shipping and add-ons). Now that shipping rates are locked in, we will be charging credit cards. BackerKit will ask you to lock your shipping address. Please reach out to [email protected] if you would like to change your shipping address.
We’ve been working with our fulfillment vendor for months to try reducing shipping rates. We discovered that our game is small and light enough to ship via mail! Shipping rates for our basic Kickstarter tier (Deadly Desserts game and stickers) have decreased by around $5 for backers in the US and in several other countries. All other Kickstarter tier shipping rates have not changed. Shipping has surprisingly increased by around $2 for each backer, but we are bearing this cost and keeping your shipping rate the same. We were hoping shipping rates would decline by now, but shipping demand is currently at an all-time high because people are shopping more online over retail.
Thank you so much for supporting our game, we can't wait for you to play Deadly Desserts! Feel free to reach out to [email protected]with any questions, comments, or theories on how to make tomatoes into a delicious dessert.
Have a great week!

Production Begins

We hope sheltering in place has given you a chance to grow closer with loved ones!
Production Begins
After buffets full of iteration with our manufacturer, we finally started production! We were told that production would take 30 days (which is half of what we expected) and shipping 30-45 days, which means we’re still on track for a November fulfillment.
In our previous update, we showed you how we’d update the instructions to better fit in the game box. We’ve moved quite a few things around and have cooked up something delightful. Check it out!
We made many other upgrades to the game, as well. As an example, we added matte lamination to the cards and player aides to make them even higher quality (some might even claim Michelin star quality).
It took a while to finalize the box tray because we needed precise specifications. As an example, we added curves to the sides of the card slots to simplify picking cards up. Our manufacturer also put a curve at the end of the token slot, which wouldn’t add any functionality. We asked for many upgrades, so we weren’t expecting immediate perfection. Even teeny details make a difference!
Next Steps
As far as the Kickstarter goes, our last steps are coordinating fulfillment! Simultaneously, we’ll be setting up an Amazon listing. Good news: the pom poms fit in the game box!
Since we’re primarily coordinating fulfillment and waiting for production, we probably won’t have any updates for several weeks. Feel free to reach out at [email protected] with any questions, comments, or fantasies about jousting with churros.
Have a great week!
