Congratulations to all for bringing yet another product all the way from sketch to store!
Check out our progress as-it-happens over at our fresh new flickr account.
Quirky HQ has been transformed into a temporary warehouse as we attempt to ship all 1200+ powercurl orders that have piled up over the past few weeks.
Shipments are going out in the order of which the orders were received, so please be patient. We expect to have shipped all orders by the end of the week.
Congratulations to Jeff who should be receiving an extra special care package by 10am tomorrow morning.
We’re totally psyched about the product and think it has a very bright future.
For all of you who are influencers, your money should start hitting your account by the end of the week if it hasn’t done so already.
As always, hit tiny dino with questions.
Back to packing Boxes,

You’ll notice the naming project for product 18 (iphone flash) ended 20 prematurely.
This was due to a automatic triggering of the logo design project start.. We had our schedule a bit mixed up.
As a result we were forced to judge the naming project early so that the logo design peeps had a name to work with.
We apologize to all effected…
We’ve run across a few issues with our mass-production run of the split stick. We’ve been back and forth with our manufacturer over the past few days identifying issues, and working to resolved them quickly.
Known issues:
-The slider nub, in some cases becomes dislodged from what is supposed to be a one way snap. (due to poor tolerancing)
-In a few cases- The spring mechanism has varying rigidity and can get stuck. Making it quite difficult to slide from side to site, and often causing issue number one (above)
This is a huge disappointment to us, and split sticks factory is taking full responsibility for the poor consistency. They have already fixed these issues and are in the process of re-producing the units and getting us a fresh batch.
That said, we are also taking full responsibility, and have worked diligently with those who have sent notes to tiny dino regarding their split stick to have a replacement overnighted to them free of charge.
As i said before, we’re working hard at this and this product will get the justice it deserved. Anyone unhappy with their first production run unit shouldn’t worry– just send us a note and we’ll get you all fixed up.
One further note- as a result of this issue, we’ve implemented a process with a 3rd party Quality Assurance company which is on the ground at our factories testing 100% of the new units being produced both for split stick, and the others which are due out in just a few weeks.
In just a few moments, all of those who pre-ordered a split stick will receive an email with instructions on how to choose their color/etch & complete their order. Orders completed this weekend will all ship out on Monday. A few important notes:
Thats all from us, we’re going to spend the weekend packing boxes. Horray!
