about 2 months ago – Fri, Oct 04, 2024 at 01:59:47 PM

Hello Backers!

We’re excited to share the latest news on the UK and EU fulfillment for Canopy: Evergreen!

EU: Fulfillment is about to kick off in the EU! There was a small delay, but the games are now with our partner, Fulfillment Europe in Germany, and they’ll begin shipping out packages next week. Most backers in the EU should expect their games to arrive by the end of the following week. We can’t wait for you to dive into the forest adventure!

UK: Great news for our UK backers—your games have arrived at Spiral Galaxy's warehouse! Fulfillment will begin very soon, and we’re looking forward to getting Canopy: Evergreen into your hands.

We’ll be posting updates in the comments with any new information. Thank you for your support and patience. The wait is nearly over, and we’re thrilled for you to experience Canopy: Evergreen soon!

March of the Ants Kickstarter Final Week

Our newest Kickstarter, March of the Ants, is marching right along, unlocking tons of stretch goals while we gear up for the final week! March of the Ants is an ant civilization building game where players take control of rival colonies, exploring the meadow and evolving their ants with unique abilities. If you haven't had a chance, check out the Kickstarter here! If you're already a backer, thank you so much for joining us on another journey!

With gratitude,

Shipping Update #3: Fulfillment in US and EU Starting Soon
about 2 months ago – Tue, Sep 24, 2024 at 01:13:26 PM

Hello Forest Friend!

Canopy Evergreen fulfillment in fast approaching in the US and EU, and Canada and the UK should be close behind. Read on for estimated timelines:

USA: The shipment arrived at our fulfillment partner Flying Cloud and we've sent them the backer report and shipping documents. They are finishing up a few other projects, but we expect games to begin shipping out by September 30th. Shipments usually take between 3-7 days. Tracking info will be sent to the email you used for Backerkit so keep an eye on that to know when your game is headed your way. 

To celebrate the imminent arrival of Canopy: Evergreen I visited an old growth forest near Portland!

EU: The games will be arriving at our fulfillment partner Fulfillment Europe in Germany today or tomorrow (24th or 25th of September). Fulfillment Europe says they will be able to start shipping out packages by the end of this week and most packages should be delivered within a week. So games should start arriving by the end of next week!

UK: The games have arrived in port in the UK, but we're still waiting for them to clear customs. If all goes smoothly, they should arrive at Spiral Galaxy by October 1st and start shipping out within a week. We'll update again once the games get to Spiral's warehouse. 

Worldwide: Several of the shipments from VFI have been sent to the local fulfillment centers and should arrive by mid-October. You can check the VFI fulfillment page for up to date info on all shipments. VFI Shipments

Canada: Games are being prepped to cross the border and should begin shipping in early October. 

Local Pickup: We will be hosting our local pickup party the week of October 21st-25th at a local game store in Portland. We're still finalizing exact details and will send out an invite via email once we have those locked down. (The party is scheduled for later in the month, because I will be traveling to Europe for Essen Spiel the first half of October.)

Thank you all for helping us create this game! We are so excited for you to finally get to play it very soon!

Canopy Evergreen Shipping Update #1
3 months ago – Thu, Sep 05, 2024 at 09:34:49 AM

Hello Canopy Backer!

We’re happy to report that all games are on ships and and headed to a fulfillment center near you! We are hoping to start fulfillment later this month for most regions, though that will depend on how quickly the games clear customs. Current estimated delivery timelines for all regions are below.

USA and Canada: The boat was delayed somewhere so the arrival in port is now scheduled for 9/11. It usually takes about one week to get through customs and then will take our fulfillment center about a week to start sending games out. So if everything goes smoothly backers should start seeing games by the end of September or early October. 

UK: Estimated arrival for the boat in port is 9/24. With customs and transit to Spiral Galaxy we expect games to start shipping in early October. 

EU: Estimated arrival for the boat is 9/16 in Rotterdam and then the games will be trucked to our fulfillment center in Germany. With customs and transit to Fulfillment Europe we’re hopeful that games will start shipping out by the end of September or early October. 

Asia and Rest of the World: Our fulfillment partner VFI uses a consolidated fulfillment system where they wait until they have a full pallet of games to ship to each regional distribution center. They are inputting the Canopy Evergreen data into their website and once that is uploaded you will be able to get more specific estimates on when the games will arrive in each country. VFI’s tracking website is here: https://vfi.asia/hubs/

We will update again later this month before US, UK or EU fulfillment starts to let you know to keep an eye out.

We’re so excited to be shipping these games out to you soon! The wait is almost over! Thank you for all of your enthusiasm, support and patience!

Tim and the Weird City Crew!
 

Reminder: Update Your Shipping Address Before August 18th
3 months ago – Tue, Aug 13, 2024 at 10:51:43 AM

Hello Canopy Evergreen Backer!

We’re getting ready to lock addresses for shipping, so please take a moment to update your address before this Saturday, August 18th 2024. Follow these simple steps to ensure your items are sent to the correct location.

Games en Route

All copies of Canopy Evergreen have left the factory and are headed to our fulfillment centers in North America, Europe, the UK, and China. The cargo bound for the US is already at sea, and cargo headed to the EU and UK is scheduled to depart this week. The estimated arrival date of the boats below. 

Estimated Arrival at Port for Ocean Freight

  • North America:  September 4th 
  • EU Shipment: September 17th
  • UK Shipment: September 20th

Once they arrive at port, it generally takes 2-3 weeks to get to the fulfillment center (customs and ground freight) and 1 week for the fulfillment center to prep the games for shipping to you. So if we add a month to the arrival date of the sea freight that is a good estimate of when the games will start shipping out to backers in each region. 

Shipments from Asia (via our fulfillment partner VFI) can take a bit longer as they ship to different hubs in countries once they have enough cargo. But the games have already arrived at VFI's warehouse and once the addresses are locked they will prep them for shipping. We'll have more info on estimated VFI timelines in the next update in early September.

Thank you from the Weird City Team!
