Another Geeks Doing Good update!

Hey everyone! This is going to be a fairly quick update, mostly just to let you know that we’re still working on getting everything shipped out. There are a lot of packages to send out, and only a few of us packaging them up, so it does take us some time to get everything out the door. But we’ve been shipping for a few weeks, and will continue sending stuff out over the next few weeks–we’ve got another shipment going out today, in fact!

We left a trail.

Once a package goes out, it’s just a matter of shipping time after that. For shipments within the US, delivery is typically 2-4 weeks; for international shipments, it’s usually 4-8 weeks. We’re confident we’ll have everything shipped out by the end of October, which means all packages will hopefully arrive by Christmastime! We have all our fingers and toes crossed for this, though we can’t control delivery times after the packages go out.

One of the more time-sensitive perks, the 2017 Karen Hallion calendar, got fast-tracked through shipping, and the last of the calendars shipped out today! If you missed out on the calendar during the campaign, but still want to keep track of the coming year in nerdy style, we have good news: the calendar is now available in the store! You won’t get the same discount as backers of the campaign got, but this calendar is SOOO worth it. Seriously.

Guys. Seriously.

In the meantime, all the other perks are still leaving the building in droves, and our wonderful UPS guy is always smiling, even though we fill his truck when he visits. Mike and Anne are working on fulfillment every minute they’re here, with Rachel and Jenny helping, and the rest of us pitching in when we have a spare hour or two.

Here are Mike and Anne now! Unflattering photography is our hallmark. Sorry Mike and Anne!

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or words of encouragement for our packagers, you can get in touch with us at fundraiser@worldbuilders.org.

Thanks for being awesome,

–The Worldbuilders Team
