Happy Humpday!
Just wanted to pop on and say they are absolutely coming! Some of you should be receiving tracking.
They have been shipping out for the last 4 days! Everyday in batches by the hundreds! I'm just sending the notifications as I go!! We should be done with all of them by the end of next week.
Thank you guys for all your support as we work out all the kinks and get better! We are learning so much!

Honest shipping update!

Morning y'all!
So it's the 7th and I was hoping to start printing labels today but it looks like there is a lot more organization that has to happen first.(Just so all the orders are correct and there are few mistakes) With that being you should start to get shipping notifications by the end of THIS WEEK!
Just to try and explain, we are working so freaking hard to get them out to you. If you get a notification and don't see movement (right away) that means the label has been printed and they will ship in the order the label was printed. I just wanted to pop on and be 100% transparent with you guys! I love and appreciate you all so much!
I'm going through messages and answering them now. Last chance to make sure your address is correct. Once it's printed, that is where that baby is going! :)
I hope you all had an amazing weekend. Thank you for everything.

NEW SITE LAUNCH DATE AND MANUFACTURING UPDATE

Hey BBs!
You may have noticed that we did not launch the site last week. We sadly have to push it back one last time. We really want the experience of the website to be excellent so we have a whole new line of book beaus we will be launching with the site. However they weren't going to be ready in time for our original launch date.
Our awesome manufacturer, Rex is on target to finish the book beaus for the Kickstarter on August 7th. Immediately after that our fulfillment team will start shipping them out.
You will be notified immediately via email when your book beau order is on its way!
The new website launch date will be August 11th!
Thank you for all your patience and support!
Love the Book Beau Team

Good Morning and happy Monday!!!
I know its been awhile but so much has happened since last time we spoke..
Unfortunately, we thought we had our manufacturer nailed down and after almost 2 months of bare minimum results and only one prototype, I was over it and knew we deserved better. I was fortunate enough to dig deep and felt like I hit the lotto with our new Manufacturer. After lots of phone calls and hours searching the internet, I FOUND HIM. Rex. He is located in Dallas Texas (literally right in my backyard. Only 20 minutes from my house). He has been in business for over 30 years and has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We have gotten so much done in the short time we've been together, it genuinely feels like a match made in heaven. He feels like the missing piece to the Book Beau puzzle and I feel so lucky to have him. Im super excited about getting up everyday and growing Book Beau. This has been the most fun I've ever had. Thank you guys for being so patient and supportive.
Ok, now to the really good stuff!! All the fabrics are in and getting cut as we speak AND our brand new heavy canvas labels are being delivered tomorrow!! As much time as we "wasted" with the old manufacturer we've made up in half the time with Rex. We are still on schedule to have all the Kickstarter beaus finished and out for (at the very latest) delivery by the end of July 2017!!! (YAASSS *happy dance)
I have learned so much about business and myself throughout this Kickstarter journey and I have every single one of you to thank for that. THANK YOU.
I plan on keeping you all updated as we go! I hope to also get pictures of the facility with beaus getting made next time in there!
