Let the Shipping Commence!
Hello everyone!
We have exciting news- after many months of designing, building, coordinating, soldering, lasercutting, visiting factories and kitting- we’re very excited to report that we’ve started shipping your Kinetic Creatures!
The bulk of the national orders have already shipped and the international orders are soon to follow. Due to the nature of international shipping, those closer to Portland will likely receive their Kinetic Creatures sooner than those further afield. We ask that you continue being your loving patient selves while the hundreds of shipments go out all over the world.
We also have more behind the scenes photos to share with you!
Here are the Kinetic Creatures getting ready to go! It was such a gratifying sight...
Here is some of our awesome kitting and shipping team, helping us prepare the kits.
Here is the crazy machine that bent the wire turn-handles!
and here is the machine in action...
Here is the enormous house-sized printer that made our labels...
And here's one of the first labels getting it's final color check... Looks good!
Here we are shooting the online instruction videos...
and the hours of editing that followed...
We can’t wait for all of you to receive your Kinetic Creatures and start making, building, and playing!
You can contact us directly at our new email address:

Happy Making!

Do you guys have a robust customer support mechanism in place? e.g., what if someone receives a broken part? How does that case get resolved? Policies and such may be handy at those times. Other than that, kudos for pulling this off with much panache.

Great Job, Team Kinetic.
