Fulfillment Update
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Jul 17, 2021 at 10:39:58 PM

Hey friends!

So fulfillment is underway and I just wanted to give everyone an update:

  • All of the European fulfillment is completed so make sure to check your mailbox. Most people should already have received the packages, but if you haven't yet, then it should be soon.
  • US fulfillment has just begun. Mike had a printer malfunction and ordered a new label printer. The printer should arrive today or tomorrow. Once the labels are on the boxes, then they will go out to the post office and on your doorsteps soon. Mike will be working long hours this weekend and try to get all of the US orders set up for delivery. 
  • International fulfillment will begin as soon as the US fulfillment is completed. The goal is to begin working on these early next week. 

Thank you all for your patience and support. Please let us know when the decks arrive and give us your feedback. I hope that you enjoy the decks and they were worth the wait. Have a wonderful day (or night depending on what part of the globe you reside).

Sneak Peak:

To those interested, we are working on our next deck of playing cards and wanted to share it with you. We decided to hold off on our 3rd deck in the current series and wanted to switch things up a bit. We landed on a vintage style and brought it back to our pharmacy roots. Russ Gray is doing the design (he is the one that illustrated our first deck) and Legends Playing cards will be printing the deck on their Viper Finish (if you haven't felt these yet, then you are in for a wonderful surprise). We are super excited about this deck and hope that you are as well. The campaign is still a few months away, but we will keep you updated.

Final Update?

Hey Friends!


I jumped on Instagram this weekend and gave a little update. If you are interested to watch, you can see it here.


Here is an overview:

All of the items are in the hands of the people doing fulfillment and within the next week or so packages should start to be delivered!!


Sorry for the delay (I know we were shooting for a May fulfillment), but shipping has been a nightmare lately (especially international). The wait should not be much longer though, yay! I hope that you will feel as though the decks are worth the wait. 


We are working on streamlining things and hope to improve our fulfillment times in the future. 


Have a wonderful day!

Finishing assembling then shipping! Yay!

Hello Friends!

 Thank you so much for your patience. We wanted to pop in and let our wonderful backers know that we are getting closer and closer to shipping.  

  • Assembly has been a huge task to say the least! Although assembly has felt a bit like a scene from The Neverending Story, it has been incredibly satisfying to see all the decks and sets come together. We couldn't be any more excited to get them in your hands!
  • We are in the final stages of assembly and will be shipping to Brothership for fullfillment within the next 3-4 weeks.

We hope to have everything shipped out by the end of June, so be looking for your packages early-mid July. 


Thank you again for all the support and love,

-The Meadowlark Family

We are getting so close!

Hey Friends!

Just a quick update:

The gilding is finally completed and in transit from Italy to the USA. Here are a few pictures Elettra and Maurizio took. Once the decks make it here we will complete assembly and then begin the final step: fulfillment!

We will make sure to keep you updated as soon as we transition to the fulfillment phase. Please make sure to update your address in BackerKit if you have changed your address. Also, if you have not completed your survey, please do that ASAP.

Shout outs:

1) Steve with Wounded Corners has been crushing it on his Kickstarter campaign and I am sure that you have already seen his deck on Kickstarter and IG, but just in case you haven't seen it yet, here is a link to his campaign.


2) Circe has been working on her deck for over a year and we have had a lot of chats. I am so proud of her and she has finally brought her deck to Kickstarter. Here is a link to her campaign.

Production update and last call for BACKERKIT!
about 3 years ago – Sat, Mar 20, 2021 at 10:25:09 PM

Hello Friends,

We wanted to give a quick update on BackerKit and production/fulfillment status.

BackerKit-

  • BackerKit will be locked on April 1st. That means only a week and a half to get your orders in and complete your survey!  Please take a moment to make sure your address is correct if you have not already done so.  

Production/Fulfillment -

  • All non-gilded tuck boxes are assemble and awaiting seals.
  • Seals are produced and waiting in Italy to be shipped once gilding is completed. (see pictures below) 
  • Sweet Tooth Collector's boxes are produced, numbered, and signed by Elettra. They are waiting in Italy to be shipped once gilding is completed.
  • Gilding has begun! The Black Liquorice decks are almost completed. The gilder is waiting on a few pieces of equipment (in Rome now, so should make it to him by next week) to be able to properly hot foil gild the Silver Frosting and Sugar Crave editions. (see picture below) 

As always, thank you for all the wonderful feedback, messages, and support.  Your kind words and feedback mean more to us than you could know <3
