Phase 2 Shipping Underway
15 days ago – Tue, Jan 21, 2025 at 04:41:02 PM

Hello Backers,

We're excited to share that we have begun shipping 652 Phase 2 orders! These shipments will be completed over the next week and cover 21 countries, with the largest number of backers in the USA (467), followed by Canada (38) and the UK (37). All 652 Phase 2 backers will receive an email with their tracking details in the coming days.

Phase 2 packages ready to be shipped out to Phase 2 backers.
Packing Phase 2 Orders for Shipping

In the following video, you can see our distribution facility team packaging individual BullseyeBore Core units and accessories for backer shipments. Each backer order is individually picked and packaged for shipping.

Updated Tentative Delivery Schedule

Here is the latest schedule for all remaining delivery Kickstarter and Indiegogo backer shipments:

Phase 1: Pilot Run Shipments

All bonus VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping rewards have shipped, and this Phase is complete. All Phase 1 backers were sent an email with a tracking link. If you received a tracking link and it is still not working, please contact us at [email protected] with your backer information and we will try to resolve it for you.

Phase 2: VIP Club Shipments

Phase 2 shipping is actively underway and will be completed over the next week. These shipments include all 652 $5 VIP Club backers across 21 countries who completed their Backerkit surveys.

If you are a Phase 2 VIP Club backer, you will receive an email containing your tracking information when your order ships. Please note that it may take a couple days for the tracking numbers to become active on the tracking website. If you made a $5 VIP reservation and have not received an email with your tracking details by the end of January, please contact us at [email protected] for assistance. 

Phase 3: All Remaining Backer Shipments

Since we have two rounds of mass manufacturing, Phase 3 shipping will be broken into two smaller phases, which we will call Phase 3A and Phase 3B.

Currently, 2,707 Kickstarter backers and 525 Indiegogo backers have completed their Backerkit surveys and are on our list for Phase 3 shipments. Please keep in mind that each backer will receive a minimum of two units. 

Please note that the full impact of Chinese New Year 2025 on our factories and logistics extends from January 25th to February 9th. This is a few days longer than we originally anticipated but does not yet appear to have much impact on the overall manufacturing and shipping schedule.

Phase 3A Backer Shipments

Our first completed round of mass manufacturing has produced an additional 2,500 units that will go through QA on or around February 10th (after the Chinese New Year holiday). After assembly and packaging, these units will ship to Kickstarter backers in our Phase 3 list according to pledge date.

We will not know the total number of backers that will be included as part of Phase 3A until QA on these units is complete, so we kindly ask that you not contact us to ask if your order will be included at this time.

If the QA process goes well, we currently estimate** that these shipments will occur between February 15th and February 28th. You will receive an email with your tracking details when your order has shipped.

Phase 3B Backer Shipments

As noted above, we are working on the second round of mass manufacturing that will complete the units for all remaining Phase 3 Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers. We currently estimate** that these shipments will occur between March 15th and March 31st, and we will provide more specific date estimates as production progresses in future backer updates.

Next Steps

QA for Phase 3A units will begin on or shortly after February 10th (post Chinese New Year holiday). If all goes well, we will ship these units based on the Phase 3A estimated schedule above. In addition, we will continue working on the second round of Mass Production that will contain all remaining units for Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers.

As a reminder, your Backerkit surveys must be completed before you can receive your order. If you have not yet completed your survey, you may still do so to have your order added to Phase 3B shipping.

If you cannot find your survey invite, you can request a new survey invitation by entering your Kickstarter email address at https://bullseyebore.backerkit.com/.

Thank you again for your patience and support! We'll be back with more updates soon.

Best regards,

John and the BullseyeBore Team

** BullseyeBore Core is our first commercial product to be manufactured and distributed. As with any new product, there is the potential for challenges and unforeseen delays. We have done all we can to prepare for and get ahead of potential manufacturing issues, but it is possible that we will encounter obstacles during our production runs. We will continue to keep backers up to date if there are any delays that will impact our shipping timeline.

January Update: Round One of Mass Production is Complete!
23 days ago – Mon, Jan 13, 2025 at 03:38:45 PM

Hello Backers,

We’re happy to share that we have manufactured 6000 units in the first round of our Mass Production run! These units are complete and will now go through the QA process over the next several days by an independent QA team. If the QA process goes well, those 6000 units will be immediately prepared for shipping and will ship to all 652 Phase 2 backers.

Any remaining units from the first round of Mass Production will then begin shipping to our Phase 3 backers. Phase 3 orders will also be prioritized according to order date, with the earliest Phase 3 backers receiving their shipments first from our available manufactured inventory. At this point in time, we cannot yet say with certainty how many backers from Phase 3 will have their orders included from this first round of production units. Currently, 2707 Kickstarter backers and 525 Indiegogo backers have completed their Backerkit surveys and are on our list for Phase 3. Please keep in mind that each backer will receive a minimum of two units.

Concurrently, we are working on the second round of Mass Production that will contain the units for all remaining Phase 3 Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers.

We’ve shared some new manufacturing images and videos along with an updated delivery schedule below.

Updated Tentative Delivery Schedule

The updated schedule for all three delivery phases is provided below. Phase 1 orders have shipped, and Phase 1 is complete. Our Mass Manufacturing will be completed in two rounds. The first round of 6000 units has been completed and units are awaiting QA. If the QA process goes well, those 6000 units will be immediately prepared to ship out to all 652 Phase 2 backers, as well as to a subset of the remaining 2707 Phase 3 Kickstarter backers. Concurrent to this, we are working on the second round of Mass Production that will complete the units for all remaining Phase 3 backers, which includes all remaining Kickstarter backers and all Indiegogo backers.

Phase 1: Pilot Run Shipments

All bonus VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping rewards have shipped, and this Phase is complete. All these backers were sent an email with a tracking link. If you received a tracking link and it is still not working, please contact us at [email protected] with your backer information and we will try to resolve it for you.

Phase 2: VIP Club Shipments

The first round of Mass Production units will be shipped to VIP backers that made a $5 reservation prior to the campaign.

If you placed a $5 VIP reservation before our Kickstarter campaign started and then completed your order on Kickstarter (or contacted us to place your VIP Club order through Indiegogo), you are on this list!

There are a total of 652 VIP Club backers that have completed their Backerkit surveys on this list. This list has been finalized and we are unable to make address updates at this time.

If the Mass Production round one QA process goes well, we currently estimate** that these shipments will occur between the dates of 1/15/25 and 1/28/25. You will receive an email with your tracking details when your order is shipped.

Phase 3: All Remaining Backer Shipments

Since we are manufacturing a bit faster than estimated, Phase 3 shipping will be broken into two smaller phases, which we will call Phase 3A and Phase 3B.

Phase 3A.

After all VIP Club backer orders have shipped (Phase 2), we will ship the remaining units from the first round of Mass Production to Kickstarter backers in our Phase 3 list according to pledge date. These units will go to non-VIP Club backers that ordered earliest during the Kickstarter campaign. We do not yet know the total number of backers that will be included as part of Phase 3A, so please kindly do not contact us to ask if your order will be included at this time.

If the pending Mass Production round one QA process goes well, we currently estimate** that these shipments will occur between the dates of 1/15/25 and 2/15/25. You will receive an email with your tracking details when your order has shipped. Please also note that there may be some additional delays during this phase due to Chinese New Year 2025 (Jan 28th to Feb 3rd, 2025) as factories do shut down for some period. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of this holiday on manufacturing and shipping schedules.

Phase 3B.

As noted above, we are working on the second round of Mass Production that will complete the units for all remaining Phase 3 backers. This second round of Mass Production will complete all remaining orders for our Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers. We currently estimate** that these shipments will occur between the dates of 2/15/25 and 3/15/25, and we will provide more specific date estimates as the second round of mass production progresses in future backer updates. Please also note that there may be some additional delays during this phase due to Chinese New Year 2025 (Jan 28th to Feb 3rd, 2025) as factories due shut down for some period. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of this holiday on manufacturing and shipping schedules.

As a reminder, all backers will receive an email with tracking details once their order has shipped.

Next Steps

We will begin QA on Mass Manufacturing units from round one this week. If all goes well, we will ship these units based on the Phase 2 and Phase 3A estimated schedules above. In addition, we will continue working on the second round of Mass Production that will contain all remaining units for Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers.

Our goal is to ship all remaining Kickstarter and Indiegogo orders between 1/15/25 and 3/15/25**, but please note again that there are some variables, including the Chinese New Year 2025 holiday, that may impact the manufacturing and shipping schedules.

As a reminder, your Backerkit surveys must be completed before you can receive your order. If you have not yet completed your survey, you may still do so to have your order added to Phase 3B shipping.

If you cannot find your survey invite, you can request a new survey invitation by entering your Kickstarter email address at https://bullseyebore.backerkit.com/

Thank you again for your patience and support! We’ll be back with more updates soon.

Last Chance For Address Updates and First Backer Reviews
about 2 months ago – Mon, Dec 09, 2024 at 01:56:27 PM

Hello Backers,

We completed shipping on the 148 Kickstarter backers who received the bonus VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping reward! Many of these backers have already received their shipment and have been putting their BullseyeBore Core to good use.

Check out what backer RB had to say about using BullseyeBore Core:

“My wife and I have been using and experimenting with the BullseyeBore Core quite a bit during our drywall work and other construction projects. We are both very happy with the way it functions. It is very intuitive and definitely makes drilling perpendicular holes a simple process. After the first few hours of experimentation, we both found that aligning the circles became a subconscious process. We would automatically adjust the angle to keep the circles concentric without thinking. The magnet holds the device to the chuck with just the right amount of force—it stays attached firmly but stops when it meets resistance.”

We also included RB’s feedback along with a couple other bonus VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping reward backers in a recent post on TikTok, which has gathered over 100k views in just a few days!

Mass Production Progress

As noted in our previous update, we continue to transition into Mass Production along with the suggested improvements from our assembly engineer. We will complete all the remaining Kickstarter and Indiegogo orders during Mass Production. You can find the estimated delivery dates in the “Updated Tentative Delivery Schedule” section below.

Last Chance For Changes

Please note that our fulfillment team must finalize all existing orders and shipping addresses on Wednesday, December 11th.

If you need to update your shipping address, please send an email with your name and new address to [email protected] by end of day on December 11th. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to make address updates received after the 11th.

If you have not completed your Backerkit survey yet, you will need to complete it by Tuesday, December 10th to ensure your order will be shipped.

If you cannot find your survey invite, you can request a new survey invitation by entering your Kickstarter email address at https://bullseyebore.backerkit.com/

 Manufacturing Progress

Updated Tentative Delivery Schedule

The updated schedule for all three delivery phases is provided below. All Phase 1 orders have shipped and this phase has been completed. We will continue to share updated delivery estimates for delivery Phases 2 and 3 as we make more progress on our Mass Production Run.

Phase 1: Pilot Run Shipments

All bonus VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping rewards have shipped, and these backers have been emailed a link with tracking details. If you received a tracking link and it is still not working, please contact us at [email protected] with your backer information and we will try to resolve it for you.

Phase 2: VIP Club Shipments

The first round of Mass Production units will be shipped to VIP backers that made a $5 reservation prior to the campaign.

If you placed a $5 VIP reservation before our Kickstarter campaign started and then completed your order on Kickstarter (or contacted us to place your VIP Club order through Indiegogo), you are on this list!

Those pledges will be shipped out in the order that the pledges were received, most likely in batches. There are a total of 649 VIP Club backers that have completed their Backerkit surveys on this list.

We currently estimate* that these shipments will occur between the dates of 1/1/25 and 1/31/25, and we will provide updates and more specific dates as Mass Production progresses. The primary reason for these target shipment dates is because it takes a minimum of 30 days to obtain and/or manufacture all the sub-components and a couple weeks to assemble the units.

Phase 3: All Remaining Backer Shipments

After all Phase 2 VIP Club orders have shipped, all remaining orders will be shipped in the order the pledges were received, most likely in batches. We currently estimate* that these shipments will occur between the dates of 1/15/25 and 3/15/25, and we will provide more specific date estimates as Mass Production progresses in future backer updates. Please also note that there may be some additional delays during this phase due to Chinese New Year 2025 (Jan 28th to Feb 3rd, 2025) as factories do shut down for some period. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of this holiday on manufacturing and shipping schedules.

As a reminder, all backers will receive an email with tracking details once their order has shipped.

*Please note that except for the Pilot Run, the shipping timeframes listed are only estimates. We will be able to provide more updates and specific dates as Mass Production progresses as we move further into that process.

Next Steps

We are currently manufacturing the sub-components necessary for Mass Production and will begin the final assembly process as soon as the parts are ready. Our goal is to ship all remaining Kickstarter and Indiegogo orders between 1/1/25 and 3/15/25**, but please note again that there are some variables including the Chinese New Year 2025 holiday that may impact the manufacturing and shipping schedules.

As a reminder, your Backerkit surveys must be completed before December 10th 2024 to receive your order.

If you cannot find your survey invite, you can request a new survey invitation by entering your Kickstarter email address at https://bullseyebore.backerkit.com/

If you need to update your shipping address, please send an email with your name and new address to [email protected] no later than Wednesday, December 11th.

Mid November Update: Pilot Run Shipping and Transitioning Into Mass Production
3 months ago – Thu, Nov 14, 2024 at 04:13:10 PM

Hello Backers,

We’ve continued to make great progress since our last backer update two weeks ago. Our Pilot Manufacturing Run QA assessment was successful, and we will be shipping the first 300 units out over the next two weeks to our VIP Early Bird First Shipping Backers. Moreover, we are moving quickly towards our Mass Production Run and completion of the remaining backer units.

In our previous update we outlined a tentative delivery schedule for both the Pilot and Mass Runs. Those schedules remain on target and are included again below.  

Pilot Run Shipping

Several Completed Samples in Final Packaging
Completed Samples in Final Packaging

We are happy to share that the manufacturing, assembly, and QA portions of the Pilot Run are now complete. Our independent Quality Assurance team was onsite at the factory in early November and successfully completed an assessment process of the 300 unit Pilot Run.

Completed Chuck Extensions in Final Packaging

Moreover, several of the Pilot Run manufactured units were shipped directly to us for local QA testing this week. Our local QA testing includes the same rigorous 24 step QA process performed after manufacturing to assess assembly, functionality, usage, post-usage examination of internal components, and cosmetic details, but also includes several additional steps involving drilling operations and sustained vibration testing.

We are very happy to report that our local testing was successful. Here are some examples of the testing operations we perform.

Operational Testing Footage of the Pilot Run Units

Also, if you missed it in the last backer update, here are some of the complete Pilot Manufacturing Run units as they come off the production line.

Completed BullseyeBore Core Units from Pilot Run

The 300 Pilot Manufacturing Run units will be shipped to backers with a bonus “VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping” reward over the next two weeks. There are 148 backers that will receive their orders from this shipment, and the Pilot Run backer list is finalized.

You’ll receive an email with tracking details once your order has shipped.

Transition to Mass Production and Shipping

As noted in the previous backer update, one important goal of the Pilot Manufacturing Run was to evaluate our manufacturing processes with the intent to continue to improve both manufacturing efficiency and product quality. Based on the experience gained during this phase, our team has implemented several manufacturing process improvements as well as some minor mold changes. For example, we’ve made minor mold changes to account for the potential overflow of adhesives in certain areas, as well as changes in the internal structure of one significant part so that it can be removed from its injection mold without a release agent.

Our next goal is to transition into Mass Production. The remaining PCBs are on order, and many of the required subcomponents are currently being manufactured. Here is an example of the Lower Body portion of the product in its final form as it goes through injection mold creation. This mold was recently modified for efficiency based on our Pilot Run evaluation.

Injection Molding of Lower Body Part

Tentative Delivery Schedule

We shared an estimated delivery schedule in our last backer update which we are still on track to follow. We will continue to share updated delivery estimates as we make more progress on our Mass Production Run.

As a reminder, orders will be shipped in three phases:

Phase 1: Pilot Run Shipments

The first 300 units are scheduled to ship over the next two weeks. These orders will ship to our first Kickstarter backers who received a bonus VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping reward. Specifically, these first 300 units will be shipped to our logistics agent at the end of this week and then will be prepared for direct shipping to bonus VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping reward backers next week.

As these orders are currently being prepared to ship, we can no longer change addresses for any of the VIP Early Bird Fast Shipping reward backers.

Phase 2: VIP Club Shipments

We are now transitioning into Mass Production along with the suggested improvements from our assembly engineer.

The first round of Mass Production units will be shipped to VIP backers that made a $5 reservation prior to the campaign.

If you placed a $5 VIP reservation before our Kickstarter campaign started and then completed your order on Kickstarter (or contacted us to place your VIP Club order through Indiegogo), you are on this list!

Those pledges will be shipped out in the order that the VIP reservations were received, most likely in batches. There are a total of 723 VIP backers that have completed their Backerkit surveys on this list, and orders will ship in the order they were received (likely in batches).

We currently estimate* that these shipments will occur between the dates of 12/15/24 and 1/15/25, and we will provide updates and more specific dates as Mass Production progresses. The primary reason for these target shipment dates is because it takes 30 days to obtain and/or manufacture all the sub-components and a couple weeks to assemble the units.

Phase 3: All Remaining Backer Shipments

After all VIP Club backer orders have shipped, all remaining orders will be shipped in the order the pledges were received, most likely in batches. We currently estimate* that these shipments will occur between the dates of 1/15/25 and 2/28/25, and we will provide updates and more specific dates as Mass Production progresses. Please also note that there may be some additional delays during this phase due to Chinese New Year 2025 (Jan 28th to Feb 3rd, 2025) as factories do shut down for some period. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of this holiday.

As a reminder, all backers will receive an email with tracking details once their order has shipped.

*Please note that except for the Pilot Run, the shipping timeframes listed are only estimates. Once we move into Mass Production, we will be able to provide more updates and specific dates as Mass Production progresses.

Next Steps

As we outlined above, we will ship Pilot Run units over the next two weeks. Backers with a bonus Fast Shipping reward will receive an email from Backerkit with your tracking details.

We are currently manufacturing the sub-components necessary for Mass Production and will begin the final assembly process as soon as the parts are ready. Our goal is to ship the remaining Kickstarter and Indiegogo orders between 12/15/24 and 2/28/25**.

As a reminder, your Backerkit surveys must be completed ASAP to receive your order.
