Delays on some kits

Update #5 · Apr 24, 2013 · 27 comments

Hi gang,

I was confused as to why some have received their kits and some have not. I inquired with Canada post and was told that possibly due to the 'mass shipment' that the mass was held at customs.

Due to the cost of adding tracking, we chose not to add tracking to every shipment so we are in the dark, but I am quite confident that you are close to seeing your kit.

FYI - anyone who pledged a goat cheese kit, these were held up due to our culture order from Germany. These kits are still waiting to be sent. Bahh....that's goat language for 'sorry for the delay...!'

Talk to later,

Ella

Hi Cheese Lovers

We are so sorry for the delay!

At the start of this month we were on target for shipping and then my house a.k.a "MakeCheese HQ" was robbed. I had two computer stolen and the upset this caused seemed unending for a while...

This it it now. All kits are heading out in batches every day this week. (They usually take 5-7 days in. North America)

I sincerely apologize. Shipping in March arriving in April is not what I set out to do, but I'm still excited that soon enough many of you will be beginning your cheese making adventures.

Kind regards

Ella

HI Cheese Lovers

We have been working hard and are on target to have your pledge rewards out to you in March as we promised in the project details.

Next week we start on making the videos to answers questions and help you along as you start cheese making. We are really excited to have these as tools in the company- thanks again for helping us make this possible.

That's all for now, except to say please let us know of any last minute changes to your addresses for shipping.

Kind regards

Ella
