Hi Ultimates,
All completed pledges and all pre-orders have been shipped (from the Netherlands)!
More details in the last post: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lenpolygon/dultimate-a-multifunctional-dice-design/posts/4274395
This time I'd like to go through some of the statistics of the backer survey with you all. For shipping information please scroll down.
After almost 200 completed surveys I the numbers have solidified quite a bit. Here's the unfiltered results. Do note that the score is on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best.
The first few questions were about the dUltimate dice. The start of this project. And with a score of 4.6 out of a 5 I'm very happy with how the final product has been received by everyone!
The main highlight being the 4.8 for the first impression and and 4.7's for the quality of the coating and the paint. This was quite tricky to get right and took multiple QC rounds (with the final one by me personally) to get right. So once again, very happy with this score!
The accessories (+shipping) also got a quite respectable rating with the highest score here going to the quality of the packaging. This matches with what I know because out of all the thousands of packages that my wife and I packages not one package was reported with damaged or missing products. To get this result we used about 3300 Meters of tape, which is a little over 2 miles!
Finally I asked everyone to score this Kickstarter project. This backer survey was in the box together with your dUltimate dice, so for these people and the purpose of the survey the project was considered completed. I'm glad to see that even though there were quite some bumps in the project the overal score here was still so much higher then I expected.
Finally many of you gave wonderful feedback and constructive critisism. There's waaaayyy too much to go through each point individually so I asked chatGPT to make a summary that I could share with all of you to give everyone an idea of the written feedback:
Community Feedback Summary
"The feedback on the dUltimate dice project has been overwhelmingly positive! Customers have praised the quality, craftsmanship, and overall uniqueness of the dice. Many described them as “ultimate,” “fantastic,” and “a blast,” with the weight and design receiving special recognition.
While the project faced delays, the frequent updates and transparent communication were greatly appreciated, making the wait more manageable. Your support and patience truly stood out and elevated this Kickstarter above many others.
Several backers shared constructive suggestions, such as:
Creating an instructional video to improve readability of rolls.
Exploring lighter materials like titanium or hollow-core designs.
Offering guidance for safe use, given the dice's weight and durability.
The responses exude enthusiasm and gratitude. For many backers, this was more than just a product—it felt like a collaborative journey. Despite the hurdles, the end result exceeded expectations for most, cementing trust in Len’s vision and execution."
Just wow! Thanks again everyone!!🥇🎲❤️
Wondering where YOUR dUltimate dice are?
All completed pledges and all pre-order have been shipped from the Netherlands. This does mean that it is possible that some packages have not yet arrived because they will first go to the US warehouse, or that they haven't arrived due to shipping delays, or that they have never been packaged in the first place due to an incomplete survey or the like.
Do you live in US/Canada and does your pledge/order contain only 1x dUltimate dice?
ANSWER: Your package has already arrived.
Do you live in US/Canada and does your pledge/order contain more than 1x dUltimate dice?
ANSWER: Your package is part of the second batch shipment to the New Jersey warehouse. This batch has arrived on US soil and should be passing customs today. Which means transport to the warehouse next week and dispatch shortly after. You should receive DHL tracking e-mails once this takes place later this month.
Do you live ANYWHERE else on our precious planet?
ANSWER: Your package has already arrived.
If you are part of the second batch shipment to the US; no worries ! I will keep updating you all via these posts!
If you are in one of the other groups and you haven't received either the package OR a tracking e-mail then please send me an e-mail at info@lenpolygon.com with your Kickstarter backer number or Kickstarter e-mail and we can figure it out together.
Next time I'll share some more updates on the second batch shipment to the US. Anything else you'd like to see in these final few remaining posts?
Keep on rolling!
-Len
