Driving a humongous truck is not easy, neither is packing 1000+ boxes. We are happy to tell you that most of our shipments are sent out via USPS!

Some of you still haven't filled out the BackerKit survey, please do so, so we can have your mailing address! If for some reason you don't have access to the survey, please send us a message. 

When you receive it, don't forget to take a picture and show off your Soapberri Box! We love them, and hope you will too =)

Brian in Taiwan + production update
almost 10 years ago – Fri, Apr 22, 2016 at 07:22:03 PM

Hi all!

Brian is in Taiwan right now sorting out our production. Things are looking GREAT! 

We will send out a survey through Backerkit to get your preferences and opinions. Also, you'll get 1 last chance to jump on the pre-order, just in case anyone missed it.

If everything goes well, we should be able to start shipping your orders out in mid-late May.

Btw, we also got onto major news medias in Taiwan, check it out if you read Chinese haha

Dear friends,

We're super stoked to update you a couple things:

1. Target Sustainability Brand Competition

We were invited to compete as a sustainable company, and we are #1 right now! The voting ends tomorrow, and it's cutting close. If you believe in our work in sustainability, please take 30 secs and vote for us!

2. Shark Tank

The Sharks found our Kickstarter campaign, and invited us to participate in the next season. We just submitted the application, fingers crossed!

 3. Startup incubator 

Out of 400 companies, we are 1 of the few companies selected to participate in Parallel18 startup incubator. We'll be working with mentors and industry experts to grow this movement in the next 5 months!

Although we've been overwhelmed by all these great things happening, we haven't forgot about those of you who made it all happen. We've been working closely with our partners in Taiwan to figure out our very 1st batch of Soapberri. We are planning a trip to Taiwan to sort everything out, so stay tuned!

Cheers,

Michael
