YES!!! All the rewards have been sent out!

Update #17 · May 16, 2013 · 3 comments

Hello everyone!

Needless to say that every employee at my neighborhood post office knows the name Notabag already, I want to inform you that all rewards have been sent out.

Most of them have already been sent out last week. However, the screen printed Notabags needed a bit longer, so we had to wait for them.

For all of you who have ordered the Kickstarter Combo Set ($60) and the Premium Combo Reward ($85), you will be receiving two packages. I didn't want to make you wait longer, so I sent part of your reward last week and the screen printed Notabag this week.

Also, I am happy to see some of our backers (mainly from Germany) sending us pictures with their delivered Notabag rewards. Please send us your pictures as well and share your excitement with us! Later, we will combine them into an album and share them with rest of our followers – it will be so amazing to see all Notabag backers from across the globe in one place.

You can send us your pictures via Email at following address:

info@notabag.com

Many of you have been asking where you can buy additional Notabags. Our online store will be opening very soon and all our products will be available there. Feel free to sign up for our Newsletter to be among the first to find out.

Once again, I want to thank you all for making this happen! I really appreciate all your support and patience throughout the entire process. I will be posting periodic updates here on Kickstarter, but to follow us closely and see what we are up to, please join us on following social platforms:

Delivery Schedule

Update #14 · Apr 19, 2013 · 3 comments

Hello dear backers,

I hope all of you are doing well!

It has been a bit quiet on our front lately and some of you have even reached out to me wondering about the delivery date. I have been working very closely with the production managers, making sure that everything is going according to our requirements.

This week we have finally received the first small batch of Notabags from the production line (see the pictures below). It was necessary for me to review the products in the middle of process. Things are looking good and the production is well on its way. With that being said, now I can tell you more concrete details about the delivery date.

I am expecting the products to arrive the week of April 29th. Once I receive the products, I will prepare them for shipping the following week. I will continue to keep you updated along the way, so that you can follow the process and be always a part of it!

So, in short, the Notabags are supposed to arrive the week of April 29th and I plan to start sending them out the week of May 6th.

I know that all of you are waiting to receive your Notabag very patiently, and I appreciate that a lot. The entire process requires more than just producing the product, and there is a lot to learn along the way. Therefore, having your support and understanding really means a lot to me.

Thank you all for being so great and helping Notabag become a reality!

As always, please reach out to me directly if you have any particular questions.

Greetings from Frankfurt,
Adnan

Estimated Delivery & Fabric Improvement

Update #13 · Feb 27, 2013 · 13 comments

Dear Backers,

I hope everyone is doing well!

It has been a while since the last update, but here I am with some insights about our production progress and some improvements that you will enjoy.

Things have been very busy here with coordinating the production, and making sure all the steps are done correctly. There is really a lot that goes into it and I am constantly facing new challenges and decisions. Along the way we had a problem with the fabric that we have ordered, which put us a few weeks behind on our production schedule. For that reason we expect our products to arrive around mid April, so they will be ready for shipment toward the end of April. I want you to know that we are doing our best to receive our products as soon as possible, but one thing we don't want to compromise is the quality. Therefore, I really appreciate your understanding and patience while you're waiting for your Notabag(s) to arrive.

However, everything happens for a reason. The issue that caused a slight delay in our production schedule opened up a new opportunity for us to improve the fabric selection. Many of you have asked me if the nylon Notabag was water resistant. Initially it wasn't the case, but we used this opportunity and selected 100% rip-stop waterproof polyester instead of 100% rip-stop nylon. The material has the same specifications (weight, feel) as the rip-stop nylon, but it has an additional protective layer that makes it waterproof. I am personally very excited about that improvement, and I believe you will be too! You will be carefree when you're on the go with your Notabag on a rainy day :) Isn't that great?!

As mentioned above, the products will be ready for shipment at the end of April. If you happen to change your address in the mean time, just send me a message and I will make a note of your new shipping address.

If there is anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you all for your support,
Adnan
