Hola, you guys 😊!!
We’re here with the update everyone has been waiting on.
It’s been a while since we’ve been able to share an update, and apologies for the gap. We were waiting on solid information to share. We did not have it until now. Most of the time, the planners were just being transported across various ports and then between a few warehouses until arriving at their destination.
And now, let’s go on to the thrilling news we received this week. Infinity Planners have finally arrived in the US after a long journey of 8038 miles. These planners have seen Chinese lockdowns, war consequences, fuel costs increase, and everything in between. And they couldn’t be more excited to reach home, safe and sound.
Shipping Schedule 🚚
As we start with our last leg of shipping from our warehouse to your address, below will be the next steps.
- In the next 72hrs, you will receive an email from Backerkit with a link to your surveys where you can confirm your address one final time and Pay the applicable shipping fees. (kindly reach out via messages if you do not get this by Saturday)
- On getting your survey confirmation, your reward should be dispatched the next working day. Depending on your location, we expect most US orders to be delivered in 1-2 weeks, and non-US orders should be delivered in 2-3 weeks. **we request you to avoid using the PO Box address for delivery as we’ve seen unreliable deliveries in the past.
- Upon dispatch, you should receive an email from Backerkit with your tracking number. In rare cases, if this tracking number does not show any information, kindly allow it up to 48hrs to get activated by the carrier.
Feel free to send us a message via Kickstarter should you have any queries during the process.
A Heartfelt Thank You 🤗
We appreciate every single one of you, who have backed us, and helped us bring this game-changing planner into existence. Thank you for being on the wild ride!
That’s it for this update, and we can’t wait to start dispatching all the rewards over the next few days.
Cheers!

Hello Backers 😃,
Hope you are well :)
Firstly, thank you for sticking around when things are so crazy and unpredictable with this Kickstarter.
This was supposed to be an exciting Shipping update, as the rates were approaching the predicted estimates ✈️.
And then, with the war coming into the equation, the gas prices rose. To top that up, Shenzhen, where our warehouse is based, is under complete lockdown. I seriously cannot believe the series of events that have taken place in the last couple of weeks. This is just too much 😵💫
I can only imagine your frustration with the delayed deliveries, and this is not how I expected the campaign to move forward.
Having prior experience with stationery, it was supposed to be a super smooth campaign with little to no complications.
Hoping for things to settle down as soon as possible 🤞🏻.
Coming to some of the most commonly asked questions,
When is Shenzhen expected to open? 🏭
The Chinese government is unpredictable, so our warehouse hasn't shared any information regarding the same. Currently, the non-essential functions of the city are under lockdown until the end of the month. And if the situation does not improve, the lockdown is most likely to be extended.
(Here are some of the articles with detailed information for those of you who want to dig deeper into the lockdown and the global shipping crisis:

Back to the most asked questions,
Why did I not manufacture the planners in the US? It would have been so much simpler! 🤷♀️
With a company relatively new, and the order quantum so small and unknown at the start, it was financially not feasible to manufacture them here. However, in the future, when we can sustain manufacturing in our home country, we would love to do that!
Will I be able to optimally use the planner when I get it?📔
The planner pages are undated, and you will be able to use them to the very last page. Also, I am so positive that you will love the way it is designed and that it will bring so many positive changes in your life.
Signing off with a heavy, albeit grateful heart that you guys are here, on this journey with me ♥️ !
