merchandise update + fanta talks a lot

hello babes, i still have quite some orders before me, but i'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...!

it's still a lot, but it's like i'M ALMOST THERE NOW!! good feeling ;; and if you haven't gotten a mail yet, yours is one of these 223 ones!!

also i had to resort to sending off bundle-batches so i can streamline the process a little ;; means, i handle orders that consist only of the same items until they're done!

i just want to give you a bit of insight in case you're wondering what the hell is going on in fanta's merch chaos, and it might also be a bit interesting to know what's going on behind the scenes?

the way i do it is definitely not be the most professional way and i feel bad for sending off orders that have been placed after some others (i'm super sorry 😭), but it turned out to be much faster for me than to add different items every time i open another order. what also takes a lot of time is writing custom declarations for every order in non-european countries, and i have been trying to streamline this process, too. if i don't add these they will most likely remain in customs until the end of time and i absolutely don't want that ohmygoddd this worries me a lot so i have to do these carefully

in the future i have to do things differently, and especially get myself more help. but, for now, it's processing steadily, and in a bit i'll go to the post office again to send some off <3

by the way, that's another problem i have. i can only transport so much at one time, because each book weights around 400 grams, and added together the parcels are really heavy. i usually try to transport 30 - 40 at a time. in this heat, i better be careful with that, too ;; 

BUT my spaghetti arms will thank me and right next to the post office is a pokemon go gym!! and many pokestops and many pokemon always so i get a little reward every time i go there, too. i'm gonna hog this gym for the next days constantly. watch out kiddies

means, even though this is a lot of work i'm still having fun going there, also get to small talk with the big guy at the post office and he's like "it's so interesting where your parcels go" because IT IS!! he's very nice and still excited about everything, he only just started i think? anyway

HOPE ALL YOUR ORDERS WILL ARRIVE SAFELY 😭💙😽 thank you for your patience and being so understanding always. you're honestly the best and i love you
