Update #2 - New 8-City Coaster Set and up to 12 month gift delivery

Update #2 · Aug 13, 2012 · 3 comments

Hi Urban Map Supporters!

So there are 8 hours left on the project and I have 2 new updates:

1: There is a new reward listed: New Coaster Set! Pick any 8 cities (from the list) and get the coaster set in a wooden box with your favorite city on the cover! The texture is on the top of the coaster, so you won't get that annoying effect where your glass sticks when you pick it up. Also, if each city is different, just remeber which coaster your glass is on and avoid those cocktail party mix-ups! 

2: Based on a backer's suggestion, I am going to include a gift delivery option for all rewards. This means that you can stock up now on maps for your upcomming Christmas lists, Weddings gifts, and Father's days. Shortly after the project, you'll need to tell me a few details (City, Size, Color, Delivery date, address, and reciever's name). I'll make the map before the delivery day and send it so that it gets there a few days before, and has a sitcker that says: To XYZ, do not open until MM,DD,YY. I don't really do gift wrapping, so make sure you are ok with a cardboard box. 

Deliveries for this can be from November 2012 to August 2013, but will need to be specified within the next few weeks.

If you have already pledged, you can change it until the end of the project (8 hours from now). After that, you won't be able to add more. The reward selections don't really matter at this point, just make sure you have the right dollar amount to cover whatever you want. Your pledge at the moment the project ends will basically be your "credit", and we'll sort out the options and details in the following few weeks.

8 Hours!

Thanks
