What A Glorious Day

 

Your Bags Are So So Close

We keep pushing our manufacturer/shipping agent to give us an update and if they can rush the order. Looks like they've been on top of our request and we should be receiving our Commuter RollTop Backpacks and Unroll Tool Rolls this coming weekend! 

Fingers Crossed!

We Love You

Sorry we don't have any heart-shaped chocolates to pass out, but we do want to let you know that we love the support and patience you all have for us! Without you, we wouldn't be anywhere close to where we are now and all your positivity keeps us going!

Remember to fill out your backerkit surveys if you haven't already and update your shipping information so we know where to ship your rewards.

If you don't have the link to your survey, check it out here.

Bringing It Back To The Good Ol' Days

We're feeling a bit nostalgic today. Remember those days in elementary school where you didn't feel so lonely? When you bought packs of valentine cards to pass around your class? It was such a great feeling getting chocolate from all your friends. Nowadays, it just feels like you can either celebrate this day or tolerate it.

That Being Said

We wanted to make this day a day to celebrate! We decided that it would be perfect to launch a 2-week full kit giveaway contest! We know you've already supported us through your rewards, but perhaps you'd like to let your friends know about us as well! Who knows... you might just win more gear for yourself and we think that's quite alright. 

You can enter the contest with 2 super-simple steps:

1) Enter Your Email

2) Refer Your Friends

That's it! The Top 2 leaders with the most referrals will win one of each:

1) Commuter RollTop Backpack

2) Unroll Tool Roll

3) Unclip Keychain

Check it out now

Hope all is well and enjoy the rest of your lovely day! 

Best,

Some Questions For You All
over 7 years ago – Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 08:41:08 PM

 

Morning! As we wait for our shipment to come in, we had some questions for you all.

We've spent months designing the Commuter RollTop and Unroll Tool Roll with you in mind. We wanted to keep the design super minimal, but at the same time, provide solid functionality for your needs. At this point, we're super proud of what we came out with! 

However, it's always the right time to innovate and improve. We wanted to get in touch with you all to see:

1) What do you enjoy about our Commuter RollTop and Unroll Tool Roll?

2) Are there other cool features you'd like to see on it? 

Now's the chance to voice your opinion and really be a part of our design process! While we aren't looking to create a new version any time soon, your comments really do help us continue to think of new ideas and solutions to your everyday problems. 

Who knows, maybe you'll see your own suggestion in our future product launches. 

First And Foremost

We just finished the paperwork for Customs since our last update. It's a green light.

Our manufacturer and shipping team are prepping to get all of our inventory in before CNY, which you all know can be a drag when it comes time for projects to deliver. We've taken this into account since our last campaign and everything is looking pretty good so far. 

In Terms Of Building Our Brand

We are always open to other suggestions that will help us build our brand and create experiences for you. We've been up to a lot with building out the brand besides product development.

Some things we have in the works:

Blog

Besides making dope products for you, we're always looking to progress the creative culture. That's why we have our own blog featuring artists, musicians, photographers, cyclists, and more! Be sure to check it out if you haven't already and let us know what you think.

 Music

Music has always held an important role in our creative process. Whether we're designing products or brainstorming new collaborations, music keeps us moving and grooving. We hope our selections bring some good vibes to your day. Always looking more recommendations. We give each song a chance. Check out our playlists.

 Other than that, we're just happy to be here today and excited to send over your rewards once they get here. Just a couple more days.... ;D

Let us know in the comments below or email us with what you enjoy about our Commuter/Unroll and what features you think would be a cool fit!

Have a good rest of your day!

Best,

Commuters Are Making Their Commute Over Here!
over 7 years ago – Wed, Jan 18, 2017 at 10:45:18 PM

Right? We're pretty excited too! 

We just got confirmation from our manufacturer that the Commuter RollTops and Unroll Tool Rolls have just finished and they're prepping the shipment as we speak.

We're reading your mind right now and you're probably thinking, "So... when are they gonna get here?" 

*drumroll*

Estimated date of arrival: February 6th 

Now we've set the expected month of delivery to be in January, but we would really appreciate it if you could wait a couple of days further. Once we receive our shipment, we are gonna do 2 things:

1) Load up on caffeine

2) Package all your rewards as fast as we can

We don't mind pulling all nighters if that means all you backers get to receive your well-deserved rewards! We'll be working day and night, but we'll always make sure to check each and every bag for quality.

Hope this update brought some cheer to your day and if it helps, here are some extra progress pictures we took:

Hope the new year is treating you all well!

The Commuters Are In Production (Right On Time)
over 7 years ago – Tue, Jan 10, 2017 at 10:27:31 AM

It's Been A While Hasn't It?

Now you may be asking yourself, "Are they even making the bags?" 

Rest assured, we've been steadily grinding day by day to make sure the bags get here in time and are in, of course, great quality. 

We've been in constant contact with our manufacturer and have since approved the final sample so that they have decided to begin production around 3-4 weeks ago. They're currently wrapping up the rest of the production order and should be keeping us updated during this week.

To help put your mind at ease, here are some progress pictures and of us making sure they select the best quality of hardware (right down to the pocket cord stopper end):

 With That Said

As we're going through some pretty big life transitions, we're doing our best to handle all aspects of our business. However, we know there has been one area we've been struggling with: Customer Service (The most important aspect of a business).

Without our supporters, how could we call ourselves a business? 

Call it what you will, but since the new year hit, a resolution seems fitting. We're doubling down our focus on making sure we treat our supporters right and keeping you all updated with the progress as best we can.

We just thank you for still being here along for the journey and hope you can continue to support us as we know our supporters probably have the most patience of all the other customers we know. 

Update Summary

  • Production is currently underway and estimated to arrive around the end of January
  • Up our customer service game
  • You all rock 

Best,

Unsettle&Company
