January Pre-Orders
This schedule refers to the Jiraiya Hoodie, Hokage Hoodie, Toji Shirt, Sasuke x Itachi Hoodie, later batches of the Itachi Clan Killer Hoodie, later batches of the Akaza Shirt, and later batches of the Hashira Swords Hoodie. If you ordered in January, your order should follow the timeline explained below:
Jan. 30 - Feb. 6th: Drop has concluded! Quantities are being counted and discussions with manufacturers have commenced!
Feb. 6th - Mar. 6th: Quantities have been finalized & payments have been made to manufacturers.
CNY DELAY: In February, there is a slight delay due to the Chinese New Year holiday being celebrated in China. During this time, manufacturers pause production and return in the first week of March, which is when production resumes. This is something that happens every year and is not any issue to worry about. Once manufacturers return, everything should continue moving according to the intended timeline of 11-12 weeks. Although out of my control, I apologize for the delay!
Mar. 6th - Mar. 13th: Manufacturers have returned from their holiday, raw fabric has been ordered and is being tested for acid wash and shrink rate. Sasuke x Itachi hoodie fabric had an issue, so we are custom dyeing the fabric to match the intended colour!
Mar. 13th - Mar. 20th: Raw fabric has been tested and cut according to the custom size chart, production is in full effect! Garments are being embroidered and printed now.
Mar. 20th - Mar. 27th: Printing and embroidery are continuing simultaneously to save time lost due to CNY holiday. Both processes are happening at the same time to avoid further delays!
Mar. 27th - Apr. 3rd: Printing and embroidery is continuing, and should be completed this week. After that, it's sewing, acid wash process, quality check, then they'll be packed and shipped to me!
Apr. 3rd - Apr. 10th: Printing & Embroidery has been completed, fabric is now being sewn together to create each garment
Apr. 10th - Apr. 17th: Sewing is finished, each piece is going through the acid wash process, or the sun fade process. Sun fade wash is all done completely by hand so it takes slightly longer. This batch should ship out to me in the coming week!
Apr. 17th - Apr. 24th: Sun fade is complete, everything is going through quality inspection and is being packed, should ship in the coming days!
Apr. 24th - May. 1st: All bulk orders have been packed and have arrived to the sea port and boarded the ship, they are officially ready to be shipped!
May. 1st - May. 8th: All orders have shipped out to me! They are currently in transit to my shipping warehouse. They should arrive in the 3rd week of May. After they arrive at the warehouse, they'll be shipped out to you immediately!
May. 8th - May. 15th: All orders are still in transit to my warehouse! They should arrive sometime in the next week!
May. 15th - May. 22nd: Orders are in transit, I expected them to arrive this week, but it looks like they will arrive by next week, then be shipped to you!
