Shipping 99% complete + New Project launching soon
12 months ago – Tue, May 02, 2023 at 01:21:58 PM

Hey Backers,

We have now shipped 99% of rewards! 

Two reasons for why we are not yet finished; First, there are still approx. 22 backers who have not yet completed their BackerKit Surveys (e.g. confirmed rewards, paid for shipping fees and/or provided us an address to ship the rewards) and second, we under-forecasted the RED PREMIUM GLASS GLOW-IN-THE-DARK VIALS, and were not able to ship these remaining 7 backers who purchased this ADD-ON. However, we are getting more in about 5 to 7 business days. We apologize for the delay in getting these last orders out. As soon as the vials arrive we will send them out ASAP.

For backers who have not yet completed your BackerKit Survey, please do so here: 

https://ion-pen.backerkit.com Enter in your Kickstarter email address to retrieve your special survey link. We will periodically send reminder emails out to these stragglers but we are now considering the ION Bolt Pen project completed.

If you're having any trouble please send us a private message and we will assist you directly.

New Project Launching soon

We've been working on a new bigger, brighter, and really great looking flashlight based on the original ION Pocket Flashlight and we are excited to launch it next Tuesday, May 9th, 2023 at 7AM PST. In order to have the strongest launch possible we are asking our current loyal backers to please support us by signing up to get "Notified on launch" by visiting the upcoming project page here:

Shown here is our Polished Silver ION-X

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dapperdesignllc/ion-x-flashlight

We will greatly appreciate your support on this flashlight project. We are giving a lot of accessories with each reward and all at a really great price for Kickstarter backers only! These will be limited quantity rewards for early adopters.

*We apologize in advance if you end up getting multiple emails regarding our new project launch. We try to spread the word as best as we can across previous projects and we know there are some of you who have supported all of our projects in the past which means you will get a lot of the same notifications. We thank you and sorry for this.

Want to see more photos of the flashlight before the project launches? You can click on the image or link here to see more on our Instagram:

Shown here is our Gunmetal Gray ION-X. Our personal favorite!

We will be back soon.

Thank you!

How to swap out the Glow-in-the-Dark vials + DO NOT throw away packaging envelop
about 1 year ago – Fri, Apr 14, 2023 at 10:52:40 AM

Hey Backers,

Just a quick backer update to address some concerns. First...

DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR PACKAGING ENVELOP IF YOU PURCHASED ADD-ONS

For those backers who purchased ADD-ONS (especially the Glow-in-the Dark vials) please open your package carefully when you receive it and DO NOT throw away the packaging material until you've double checked inside of it. The vials are very small (inside of a small ziplock baggy) and might be stuck to the inside of the walls of the packaging material.

How-to remove and replace Glow-in-the-Dark vials

 We apologize for not explaining this sooner but here is a brief video on how to remove the standard vials that come included with your pen...

Note: The premium glass vials and real tritium vials (if you can get them) are made of glass so they will remove and install much easier than the standard (plastic) versions.

Shipping Status

We are still shipping out orders but are happy to see backers are starting to receive their pens. =) We have officially sent out 50% of rewards and need more time to finish, especially the international ones which takes longer for us to process as we work with a third party sorting company. We will be back again soon with another update as we come closer to finishing those.

Questions about your order?

If you have questions about your order, please send us a private message through Kickstarter. It is a bit harder to handle post-campaign issues in the comments section because it is public and we may need you to confirm your private information when discussing; for example your full name, shipping address, email address that you used for Kickstarter, etc. Please send us a private message instead of leaving customer service questions in the comments. It also makes it easier for us to find your pledge reward information. 🙏🏻

Thank you!

If you are sure you have completed the survey correctly, please send us a private message and we will take a closer look at your account and assist.

Shipping Phase begins soon! We are pre-printing shipping labels
about 1 year ago – Fri, Apr 07, 2023 at 09:55:04 AM

Hey Backers,

Good news!

We received a small batch of copper and brass pens last week and we were able to ship just a handful of some of the Priority Mail backers. However, this was just a small test batch of shipments.

The remaining pens come in from our manufacturing partner next week which will allow us to officially move into the Shipping Phase of the project. We will begin the official shipping phase on Wednesday, April 12th, 2023!

 IMPORTANT! SHIPPING NOTIFICATION EMAILS

We will be pre-printing shipping labels this week which means if you successfully completed your BackerKit Survey (e.g. answered survey and with no pending payments due) you will be receiving emails with tracking numbers that have been assigned to your package. This does not mean we physically shipped out your package yet. Please take note that there will not be any tracking number movement online for several days after April 12th, especially for International backers which takes a bit longer to get into the system. We do this "pre-printed" stage to help speed up the fulfillment process since we are a very small team and have hundreds packages to prep. We really appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for bringing this project to life!

Our Next Kickstarter Project

We have been preparing for our next Kickstarter project and wanted to ask you to please follow along with us on Instagram to see it. We have been sharing photos and information of the project there.

We thank you for your continued patience and we will be back soon!
