Mochipan Pre-Order Newsletter #3
Welcome to the third Pre-Order Updates blog post!
Thank you so much for your continued patience and support! We know that some of you have been waiting longer than expected for your products, and we truly appreciate your understanding.
On average, our PSPOs take about 4-5 months from start to shipment. While some orders arrive in as little as three months, others may take up to twelve months. If at any point you feel uneasy, we urge you to reach out via support email at mochipanofficial@gmail.com for the absolute latest updates.
We also want to remind customers that PSPOs are eligible for cancellation at any time for a full refund, until two weeks after product photos are released for any given PSPO product.
As a final note, we've recently heard concerning news from one of our partnered factories. This past week, there has been a fire at one of our partnered manufacturing facilities causing a handful of pressing delays during the busiest time of year. We apologize for the added delays on products, which we understand are a source of frustration and anxiety among our lovely customers, and reassure you that we're doing all within our power to expedite the production process wherever possible.
We’re dedicated to making our process smoother and faster for you every day. Thank you again for being such an amazing part of our community.
Now, let’s get into the latest updates!
