We have fulfilled all confirmed Kickstarter backer orders in the US and Canada and now have two options for all international orders.
International Kickstarter backers: We know you have been waiting longer than anyone for an Origami Paddler, and we have very actively been looking for the best possible solution to get it to you. The last time we sent you an update, we expected to have containers ship to you by this time.
We have recently received word that one container full of Origami Paddlers headed to New Zealand has reached the water. However, we were notified of additional delays for the other containers to Europe and Australia at the end of February.
Our most recent communications with the shipping company estimate that the containers will not arrive in Ireland and Australia for another 8 to 10 weeks - sometime in June 2022. We have been told that there is no set time yet based on the delays to unload that container. This means that we cannot estimate how long it will take to get to your door and that the original estimated April timeline will not be possible.
Because of these extreme shipping delays, we have been looking tirelessly for an alternative. We found the option to ship directly from our warehouse to your door, but this option costs significantly more because it is calculated by address/distance.
So, rather than decide for you, we're going to offer both options and allow you to choose what works best for you:
Container
Do you want to wait for your Origami to arrive by container, wherein you've already paid the shipping costs?
We have already charged you shipping ($130.00 per Origami), and despite increased costs to send a container- we will not be charging any more than what you have already paid to ship your Origami via this method.
OR
FedEx
Do you want to pay the additional cost to have your Origami sent right away?
We can ship from our warehouse in Kansas via FedEx, although we estimate this could be at least $200 more than you have already paid per Origami. However, your Origami would ship right away, and FedEx estimates one month from shipping until it arrives at your door.
To help us get YOUR ORDER on the move, please fill out this form.
- If you choose the Container option, once you submit the form, there's nothing else you need to do.
If you choose the FedEx option, we will send you an invoice for your calculated shipping rate once you submit the form.
Please fill out the form by Wednesday, March 16, 2022. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to us at support@origamipaddler.com. If we don't receive an answer from you, your Origami Paddler will be shipped via the original method of the shipping container.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and support; we know that we wouldn't be able to do any of this without you!
Wishing you inner peace and unfolding freedom,
Kai and the OP Team
