Day 3: the questions are on the table
over 7 years ago – Fri, Nov 04, 2016 at 12:48:51 AM

Hi! Day 3 has been another exciting day running this campaign. We're suuuuper close to reaching the goal, so that's even more exciting - the sky isn't the limit, let's see how high we can go! I've created a short link you're more than welcome to gently share: bit.ly/chatwin1610 Many backers and even more interested potential backers have been asking me about various things. Like 'Isn't the protruding tang on the handle uncomfortable' ( Answer: no, it's super comfy and is designed for a purpose: https://youtu.be/vcxQ3fVfjYQ ) or 'Why is shipping so expensive for some packages in some locations' (Answer: because it's hard to determine actual pricing, which includes shipping to warehouse, storing, fulfilling, packaging, labelling and shipping to backers. You'll get a refund if costs fall below the quote, you will NOT be charged extra if the shipping costs go above the quote) and many other great questions. Over this campaign, I'll do my best to answer questions in detail in the FAQ section of the campaign. This section is publically accessible, and will hopefully shed light on those details that aren't answered throughout the campaign. I'll also try answering private messages quickly.

I hope you're having a great week. Philippe

The last 24hours have been crazy and exciting. First of all a huge thanks to all early backers. I really appreciate your trust and drive to push this campaign ahead. Media has been catching on, so suddenly the phone starts ringing and media outlets want interviews. Also exciting. Please keep calling :) Alright, gotta get back to spreading the word. 28 days to go. Any help sharing this campaign is much appreciated, this is pretty much a full time job for me now. Thank you so much!

DAY 1:

It's been an exciting few weeks or rather months preparing for the CRUCIAL campaign launch, and an even more exciting, scary, happy and exhausting morning before pressing the actual 'LAUNCH' button. It feels like one of those big exams you go to, and aren't sure if you'll pass or not, because you forgot what subject it was on. It's all a blur. You've watched your videos and yourself in that video a million times. You read and re-read the campaign and change this and that, add another .PNG here and a .GIF there.

After pulling long working nights and an all nighter last night, the campaign launched, and literally seconds after it launched, you guys were on it, backing and supporting this project. I couldn't be more grateful.

To all of you lovely supporters - of which some of you I know, and some are complete strangers - a BIG thank you for believing in this project, putting your trust, time and money into this project. It has taken me more than two years to get to this moment, and I literally couldn't have and can't do it without you.

Thank you.
