Dear Pirates,

The world has changed so much since the weekend back in January where you all jumped aboard the Pirate Jam Pre-Jam Skirmish. I really hope this post finds you, your families, and friends all happy, healthy, and warm despite the virus storm raging outside. One thing all sailors know is that no matter how tall the waves and ferocious the winds... all storms must pass. Hold fast! 

This note is to let you all know that I finally made it back to Shanghai and sent out your prizes. Here are some of the Doubloons ready for packing and shipping... 

With the current state of global shipping... I have no idea how long it will be before these arrive with the winners. Here in China, things are slowly getting back to normal. And we are able to pack, label, and send... at least as far as getting these out of China on their way to places like the UK, US, Australia, Italy, France, and more. What happens to the packages upon arrival in the destination countries... at this point, who knows? 

As with everything else going on right now... we'll just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best!

Lastly... if you're looking for a bit of an escape, you might enjoy watching the videos produced at Pirate Jam 2020. 

Those are up on my YouTube channel in a Pirate Jam Playlist

Sending pirate arrrrg's to you all from Shanghai, 

-American

Awesome news! Thank you American!

Definitely gives something to look forward to in these rough times!

The playlist is a fantastic watch as well. Thanks again and stay safe!

Thanks for the update! I watched some of the pirate jam videos. It looked like a blast.

Has anyone else received their package yet?

Host

Datzz2 - It's unlikely that any of the packages we sent out have arrived... but let's wait and see if anyone can confirm that. 

The issue is that as we started shipping out these prizes, we were also hearing from our shipping partners that various shipping channels were being shut down. Where we once had over a dozen options... we now only have one option (other than DHL/FedEx - which is insanely expensive). The option we're left with is Slow Shipping aboard an actual cargo ship. What we used before was E-Packet which went aboard cargo planes. With the slow shipping option the typical delivery times start at 30 days... and can be up to 60 days. 

This is a sad situation not only for the prizes we're sending out but for our online business in general. As it means that our customers around the world now have to wait much longer to receive the things they've ordered from us. And it's not just us... this is an issue that's impacting shipping services globally. 

Strange days we're living in!

Just received my notepad and medal! Glad it made its way to my house safely.

Yay! That's great to hear. Where in the world are you? Just knowing a general location (country) might help others to set expectations for when they could receive their prizes.

Im on the east coast of the United States.

We had a few of the packages we sent out returned to China. We can attempt to re-send these things but you need to reach out to us via a more private location so we can talk addresses, phone numbers, and names. Please email us at support (at) mysterious (dot) design

We'll have a look at the tracking and try to sort things out.

I'm pleased to report I reached out when I first saw this message and have now received my doubloon in the mail (I'm in the USA)! 

I love my pirate booty! Thanks for the awesome jam!

Submitted

Yes I got mine as well totally worth the wait.

Host

Yay! Happy to hear it finally arrived safely. /shakes fist at global pandemic... take that!
