Shipping & Special Gift for You!

Dear Shapu Backers,

We're delighted to announce that we've received the first batch of Shapu knives, and they look absolutely stunning! Both the knives and the packaging have exceeded our quality standards, ensuring you'll receive a top-notch product.

On another note, to express our heartfelt apology for the delay in deliveries, we've decided to make things even more special for you. We're in the process of crafting Shapu paring knives, which we will be giving away for free to every backer. Production of these paring knives is scheduled to kick off at the start of September, with an estimated lead time of around 45 days. In the meantime, we’ll be evaluating various shipping agent options to ensure we make the best choice.

After we wrap up the production of the paring knives, we'll be posting another update with the shipping timeline and asking you to double-check and confirm your shipping address on your Backerkit survey before we lock them. This step is crucial to ensure your knives are delivered to the right place.

So hopefully by Christmas, you'll have not only your Shapu knives but also a complimentary paring knife!

Stay tuned for more updates, and if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Warmest regards,
Shapu Team
