Mini update - Shipping almost complete!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Nov 19, 2020 at 05:49:45 AM

Dear Supporters,


Shipping is almost complete!


Because we have 13,000 orders, almost 800 permutations and over 150,000 items to pack, we wanted to make sure we are doing everything as efficiently as possible, to ensure speed through customs and as low of an error rate as possible.


So, we have spent the last few weeks sending out a small number "smoke test" orders all over the world, and now we have ironed out the problems uncovered, we are moving very quickly and we expect to be finished within the next 10 days.


We have attached some pictures of our container full of bulk product arriving at our shipping facility, and some pictures of our pick & pack process.


We are sending out tracking codes as our packages clear outbound customs -- every backer will be notified. Please bear with us as we send out these emails -- once we've compiled all tracking information we'll be able to answer individual queries.


We will update you again very soon, once we have completed the shipping process. We appreciate your patience as we work through the most complex part of finishing this project. 


With best wishes

Tom & FlushBrush team.

Manufacturing update & shipping

Dear Supporters

A little over a month since our last update, a huge amount of work is going on behind the scenes, with plenty of positive news to report:


Production update

Throughout September we have been producing units! We are around 70% complete with our production and assembly. We built up slowly at first, and naturally had to get familiar with the process, but are now producing almost 1,000 units daily, and should be fully finished very soon.


We’ve added a few images from the factory, plus a first look at our Dark Grey version below.

Parts that have been finished have been bulk packaged, and are being sent to our shipping partners for the next stage; packaging and distribution.


This month has been very busy - to complete this project, we have had to make or source almost a million individual parts, and after assembly, we have well over 100,000 components to pack and send out to backers in the next few weeks; which brings us to...


Shipping

As you can understand, the most important and complex part of this project will be accurately picking, packing and shipping all orders. In total, we have 719 different order permutations to pack correctly, and then ship to almost 90 countries.


This week, we are beginning shipping, slowly at first, and then in batches of increasing size until we are complete. We need to move slowly at first to ensure that we are picking and packing correctly, and that our shipping channel is processing our orders efficiently. As first time creators, we are proceeding very cautiously through this stage to be sure get it right. 


We are expecting to be able to post tracking information to your order as we receive it, but again, this will be a big task, so please bear with us as we work through your orders.


Shipping times are projected at two to three weeks from dispatch.


Instructions - Please read them!

We’ve been doing more testing over the last few weeks using our first sample units, and as we expected, it is important to install the cradle correctly for this product to be most effective in catching flushing water. It’s also very important that each user adapt the cradle carefully to their own toilet.


We’ve already put some written instructions on our website, and are producing video guides in addition, to be posted shortly. 


To conclude:

We’ve extremely grateful for your continued patience and understanding. This project has been challenging in so many different ways over the past few months, but we are fast approaching fulfilment for all of our supportive backers.


You can expect our next update quite soon, as we move through fulfilment. We are conscious of the delays sustained along the way and look forward to you receiving your product very soon.


With best wishes

Tom
