Hey Hushlers,
We want to thank you for your patience as we have been working feverishly to get your blankets produced and shipped!
It's July now, and you may be wondering: "when am I going to receive my Iced blanket?"
Production Update
We are happy to say that ALL blankets and sheets have been produced. 40% of them are already on their way to the fulfillment centres, 20% have arrived, and the other 40% are being boxed and shipping next week.
Fulfillment Update
We are pleased to announce that we have selected 3 different fulfillment centres to work with to deliver all orders across the world.
One is in Vancouver, one in Toronto, and one in China.
This enables us to get efficient and cost-effective deliveries. All US, Canada, and most international
Here are photos of a container of a couple thousand Iced products that arrived in Vancouver last week:

Shipping Update
So far we have shipped a couple dozen blankets to our early supporters. We did this to test the couriers, shipping speed, and tracking numbers to make sure everything will be smooth with the new centres and couriers.
They were successful, so we will continue with shipping from Vancouver this week!
Vancouver fulfills west-coast of Canada and USA, while Toronto fulfills east coast + international (minus Europe). It will be done in order of backing, although they will all likely go out in the same day or in 2 days.
It should only take 4 days to get everything out the door once the rest arrives on July 14th. Delivery is next-day for cities in the same province, and 2-4 days for Americans.
(Europeans: All European orders are being packed to be sent to our China warehouse in 4 days. From there, they will be labeled and sent via boat (3 weeks) to the Netherlands. From the Netherlands, it will be dispersed to your country via Netherlands Post. So we are looking at a very late July/Early August delivery to your door for those orders. Some add-ons or other products may be arrive earlier for you.)
So all-in-all, we are very happy to say we are on time for a July delivery and to be a Kickstarter that delivers on time (let's hope for no natural disasters, border delays, etc ?).
Housekeeping - Problem Orders
It is worth mentioning here (if you haven't received the backerkit reminder emails) that there are still 160(!) backers who have not filled out their survey for their address information.
We are locking addresses and charging cards (for addon purchases) on a daily basis now, anyone who does not lock before we start shipping will not receive a blanket this summer.
You will receive the survey 10 days after your pledge. Any pledges from now on will be delivered August and on.
If you are not sure, search your email for "backerkit survey", try to find your survey here: https://hush-iced-blanket.backerkit.com/, or email [email protected] and we will find it for you.

The feedback so far has been great from those who received it and we will share more in next week's update!
Best,
Lior and Aaron from Hush.
