Mochipan Pre-Order Newsletter #6
Welcome to the latest Pre-Order Updates blog post, and happy December!
As we get closer to Christmas, we're following through on our promise of weekly updates until December 22nd to ensure you have as much information as possible leading up to the winter holidays! There has been some minor shuffling around of dates, but we're more or less on track with our timelines from our last update!
Please note that as of this coming week, we can no longer ensure any products ordered will arrive in time for the holidays. If you're holding out for hope, but have yet to receive a shipping notice, this is our notice to let you know that your order won't be arriving in time for Christmas, and we kindly suggest looking into other plans if your order was intended as a gift. Thanks so much for your continued patience and support.
Without further ado, let's get into the updates for this week!
Pre-Orders
As a reminder, all standard pre-orders are released with product photos, sizing information, and material information already available. If you still need that information, head over to the product page!

Hey Jam Sweater enthusiasts! We have a sweet update about our collection. The original Strawberry Jam Sweater remains on track for shipment in late December to mid-January.
We've also received some feedback from customers who've voiced that the short-version of the sweater below better reflects the original design. As this shorter version's final sample is complete, we invite any customers who prefer the shorter one to send us an email (mochipanofficial@gmail.com) so we can make that change for you.
We expect that the variant-color samples will be complete by Christmas, at which point listings for their pre-orders will go up. That said, keep an eye out-- based on our feedback, the final variant-color products may reflect this shorter design rather than the initial, longer sweater design.

The Woodland Shorts have hit a production snag, and we've had to make a series of minor adjustments to enhance wearability. As such, the final sample for the Woodland Shorts is now expected to arrive by January 5th 2024. As a result of this added delay, the shipping estiamate has shifted considerably and covers quite a wide range-- this is due to the upcoming Chinese New Year holidays, which may caused additional delays.
