Hi everyone!
It's only the first update post of the year but time has already passed so quickly-- halfway through March!
This update will function more like a blog post, mentioning product progress and some things to expect for 2023 here on good ol' krispykart.
First, product progress:
Right now, the custom clasps for the MP100 Psycho Milk and Muscle Milk charms are still being made and may take a while. Hopefully they're on track for late April, but we'll have to wait and see!
Next, what's coming up:
As you can see under Schedule, I'm back at conventions for 2023! This unfortunately means krispykart will often be closed, and quantities for products will be quite limited as they'll mainly be convention leftovers. Any new preorders that open will also take longer to fill, as I won't be able to fill them when I'm away tabling.
However, I'll also do my best to restock things-- a HQ!! candy charms restock is planned for April, as well as MP100 After School charms. Some older sticker and washi designs may also come back. I also want to make more froggy goodies and refocus on original illustrations-- hopefully you'll see some things in the fall!
As always, if there's anything you want me to restock or make, be sure to let me know through my survey form here. Thanks so much to everyone for another wonderful year, and here's to another! ^^

Whoops, it seems I forgot to post the update about the delay here, but today's the day! Nov 13th, part2 shop update!
Please be reminded that UK untracked paper orders are now accepted, as well as be aware of holiday shipping delays. krispykart is run by one person (just me!) and postal services always experience a rush at this time of year-- I cannot guarantee your parcels will arrive by the holidays!
Finally, yes, this is the year-end announcement; krispykart will be closing for 2022 on Dec 17th, 11:59PM PST. It's been a rocky year, but your support and encouragement to me has been incredibly moving-- it really means more to me than you know! Please take care as the whether starts getting cooler, and cheers to the end of the year ^^

Hi everyone!
Today's the day-- it's the first day of FrogCon! This also means it's my part one frog-centric shop update; which brings along a couple of nice announcements:
There's a ton of exciting stuff happening throughout the week and a ton more art to see; be sure to check out the frogcon website at frogcon.frogcult.org for more info! See you there!
P.S. For those of you out there waiting for my other stuff, the part-2 shop update will be dropping on Hallow's Eve (Oct 30th!), time TBA. Get spooky!
Today's the day-- it's the first day of FrogCon! This also means it's my part one frog-centric shop update; which brings along a couple of nice announcements:
- Through the duration of FrogCon (Oct 14 - 23), use code "FROGSEA2ON" for 10% off all orders, no minimum!
- I will also be reopening PAPER ONLY orders to the UK & Germany; this means you can only order paper and paper-adjacent items such as notepads, prints, zines, stickers, etc. with an untracked lettermail shipping option.

Today's the fated day!! The great summer shop drop! As we approach, please be mindful of the following changes:
Changes & Reminders:
1) If you choose the wrong shipping, a $1 service fee will now be added to supplementary invoices to try and offset the additional transaction fee. To avoid this, please be sure to double-check Shipping & Returns to ensure you chose correctly*.
This does NOT affect other invoices (e.g. adding to existing orders, invoice-only orders, etc.)
*Payment services like Google Pay may auto-select shipping; please check your settings to avoid this.
2) Parcel orders to Germany are no longer accepted due to VerpackG regulations. International Lettermail-only items (see Shipping & Returns) remain unaffected.
Site Improvements:
1) Better Categorization; items have been reorganized, along with tags for common themes.
2) The “All Products” page will no longer be sorted after improvements to the categories page. However, it is now multi-page to allow for lighter load times.
3) SEO: I think it’s better? I don’t know. I’m trying my best.
Since this update has so many new item types, please remember to check Shipping & Returns to ensure you pick the correct shipping option for your items. If you run into an issues with the site after the update, please be sure to let me know and I'll rectify it asap. Thanks so much for your support as always! <3 ;-;

krispykart is now closed for maintenance! The shop will be back open on July 16th, 8PM PST with the new summer shop drop.
With the re-opening, unfortunately parcel orders to Germany will no longer be accepted due to the enforcement of VerpackG. However, lettermail-only orders (i.e. flat paper/paper-like items like prints, stickers, and washi tape) will still be accepted.
Thanks so much for sticking around-- see you all soon! <3

Quick little tweak to the schedule-- the June shop reopening and shop drop will now both take place together on June 27th. Previews will still be going out as scheduled, but this will give me a little more time to clean things up! Thanks ^^

As scheduled, shipping is now open to Taiwan!
Along with that, paper-only orders (stickers, prints, washi-samplers), will now be accepted to all available destinations.
Unfortunately, I currently still cannot take UK orders due to VAT, and reminder that the same rules will be applying to the EU in July. Fingers crossed I can change this soon!
Shipping aside, a quick note that I will no longer be accepting payments through Apple Pay, due to it creating issues through auto-selecting shipping options. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Big summary of many big updates!
First up, totebags are here! Or have been, for a while (since mid-April). Once the matching sticker sheets arrive (soon!), I'll be shipping them out late-mid May ^^

Next up, some more solid dates for the Spring-Summer krispykart season:
Finally, the long-awaited interest check results! Summarizing the main points...
- I'll be looking into better shipping options, but it will take a while to fully implement
- A newsletter may be available starting late summer! Sign-up will be available directly on the shop site (here!)
- Search engine? No problem! I'll be working on the SEO ^^
- International lettermail orders will become available starting May 10th (PST) to most non-US destinations. This means orders containing ONLY stickers, prints, and washi samplers.
- Also starting May 10th, I will be allowing untracked parcel orders to Taiwan.
- Starting July 1st, I will likely stop taking EU orders due to new VAT laws. If this changes at any point, it will be announced!
- I'll be looking into UK VAT registration, but cannot guarantee it will be ready for the Summer Drop.
Reminder, if you'd like to see more frequent, smaller updates, you can follow #krispykart on Twitter. Thanks as always! :D
