Shipping Update
Hello everyone,
Here is a quick update on shipping status: We have shipped out all of the $125 Both Packs as well as most of the $70 Brass Packs and have begun to assemble the $55 Stainless Packs. Here is an updated shipping chart to see where your order stands.
Today we will be clearing out the assembly line (my parents' dining room table) for Thanksgiving dinner, but will be right back to the grind tomorrow morning getting your Stylus Caps out to you as fast as we can.
As far as an estimate for your order if it hasn't shipped yet: My goal is to have everything out the door by the end of next week. I am still waiting to receive some parts from the cap manufacturer, but for right now, that's my goal. We are going as fast as humanly possible with assembly, packing, and shipping.
When I say "we" I mean myself, my superhero parents (who have not only been assembly line workers when they are not working at their real jobs, but also warehouse and shipping specialists), and anyone else I can rope into a few hours of help here and there. We all have a whole new appreciation for how time consuming product assembly can be.
That's all I have for now. I hope everyone who is celebrating Thanksgiving today has a safe and happy holiday!
Talk to you soon,
Don
ps. Since the holidays are approaching, I am getting a ton of outside of Kickstarter requests for ordering Stylus Caps for gifts. The minute we have all of the Kickstarter pre-orders out, I will be turning on the online store. If you want to be notified when that happens, sign up for the mailing list here or follow @itsMOREREAL on Twitter.

Don, Patrick O'Neil - I lost my fineliner brass stylus yeaterday. While I know you are not selling the brass, I wondered if you have a brass fineliner from the batch you made for backers that you could sell to me. I like the fineliner one a lot. Hoping for some joy!
Creator June on March 19, 2012
Don,
I have not received anything. I backed a brass for Bic. Please provide feedback.

yet to receive anything*
Sorry for the typo.
Creator Richard Paterson on February 29, 2012
Welp, I have to receive anything here in France. Is this to be expected or might there have been a hitch ?
Creator Brenden Morgenthaler on January 18, 2012
Received my Stainless Steel pack right before Christmas and have been using it off and on since then and I have to say I love them! Now I wish I could have custom caps made for my other favorite pens.
Creator Chris Fourie on January 16, 2012
Hi Don,
I finally received my Stylus in the mail the first week in December and I was very excited to get it. I love using it, but now after less than a months use, my tip is starting to disintergrate. Just falling apart like brittle rubber that has been overexposed to sunlight.
I have not subjected it to excess heat or force.
Creator Richard Paterson on January 15, 2012
Okay, many thanks for the info.
Creator Don Lehman on January 14, 2012
Oops. Meant to say: Will UPDATE everyone soon.
Creator Don Lehman on January 14, 2012
@Richard
Yes everything has shipped. Will everyone soon.
Creator Richard Paterson on January 12, 2012
Just to know, is everything supposed to have shipped by now ?
Creator Don Lehman on January 9, 2012
Hi Elaine,
Could you send me a direct message through Kickstarter? We can get this straightened out in no time flat.
Thanks!
Don
Creator Elaine Shannon on January 9, 2012

Hi Don, I have not heard yet about sending my Stylus Caps, please could you check the status.
Thank you.
Creator Ken Parsonage on December 24, 2011
My brass sharpie cap arrived today (just in time for Christmas Day - a little present for myself!) and it is an excellent product, well worth the wait.
Creator William Alexy on December 22, 2011
my firm tip arrived in the mail today. Love it, Don. It is unique and different then any other stylus I've used. It glides on the iPad yet it feels sturdy and deliberate. Thanks!
Creator Jason Campbell on December 12, 2011
Still loking forward to my brass sharpie here, hows the shipping chart looking today?
Thanks,
J.
Creator Adam R. on December 12, 2011
I received mine today (Dec 12) as well, and yes, they are worth every penny.
Creator Brian on December 12, 2011
haha Never mind, I received mine today (Dec 12) and wow, they are worth EVERY penny! GREAT JOB
Creator Maury Jackman on December 12, 2011
I need to change my address for when it is time to ship. How do I do this?
Creator ADDEccentric on December 11, 2011
My pack came the other day. Don you have a real winner here! The two tip styles really give a leg up on other stylus brands out there. Keep up the good work!
Creator Brian on December 10, 2011
Hey, its Dec 10, any update as to when I'll be getting my caps?
Creator Jill Ostrow on December 5, 2011
Got it! Love it! Thanks! :-)
Creator Jeff Trujillo on December 5, 2011
US, $70 Brass Pack Arrived. Looks like a great product, I am almost sad that it is going as a Christmas present, but they will love it!
One question: The package only made it with a sharpie, just curious if the bic or fineliner was supposed to be there or not? Just trying to help you identify shipping issues if they were supposed to be included.
Creator Mohit Gupta on December 3, 2011
Recited my brass pack and it's amazing! Thanks Don
Creator Geoff Dudgeon on December 3, 2011
Has anyone received their "Brass Pack" yet? I haven't.
(not complaining, just curious as it says it's shipped)
Creator Patrick O'Neil on November 28, 2011
Don, I got my styluses and love them! Thanks for all your work! One thing I learned today is that the Sharpies are not made with much precision. The stylus fit the one you sent perfectly, but I had two others I had purcased a few weeks ago and I wanted to use the stylus on a different color Sharpy. It didn't fit on one at all, way too loose. It fit the other OK but much more loose than the one you sent. I just thought you would want to know.
Creator John H on November 28, 2011
Anyone receive their stainless pack yet?
Creator David Hunter on November 27, 2011
Received my 3 pack yesterday and have some issues. What is the correct way to contact you?
Creator Patrick O'Neil on November 26, 2011
I got mine to day and just love them. Cannot wait to find out how to order more. And would like to become an investor.

The "sign up for a mailing list" link took me to a sight where they said they no longer do that work. I'd like to be signed up to order more styluses.
Creator Jill Ostrow on November 24, 2011
Thanks for the update, Don. Can't wait to get them! Have a nice Thanksgiving!
Creator Alexander on November 24, 2011
According to the chart mine should have shipped, but I haven't received anything. Hope it's not lost.
