We're back with an announcement before we send out the official Backerkit surveys in a few days. We know you are all excited to get your dialed products and many have asked about doubling their order or adding extras.
We're announcing this convenient option first to our backers to subscribe to the dialed wallet refills subscription. If subscriptions are not your thing, read no further, but if you want to save some cash and press the easy button - Read on...
How It Works
1) Click Here to visit the Dialed Gear subscription site.
2) ONE TIME PURCHASE: Add items you want to ship immediately (recommended: 1st 6 pack of refills minimum to arrive to you in January - so you don't run out in February) by clicking the "one-time purchase" button.
3) SUBSCRIBE & SAVE: Add items you want to ship on subscription (recommended: 2nd 6 pack of refills starting in 6 months - arriving in July and every 6 months after that) by clicking the "subscribe & save" button and selecting any monthly increment from 1 to 12 months.
(a 6-pack is a six month supply - 6 individual notebooks). You will only be charged when items ship. PLUS get 20% off for as long as you are a loyal subscriber!
4) PLUS get FREE FREIGHT on anything shipping now (arriving to you in January after production is complete). Proceed to checkout.
Add the discount code, "dialedprime" to reduce your freight rates back to zero.
5) Finally, enter your payment and shipping info and confirm/submit your order.
That's it!
WE WILL CONSOLIDATE YOUR KICKSTARTER/BACKERKIT ORDER WITH YOUR "ONE-TIME PURCHASE ORDERS" WHERE POSSIBLE FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE. EITHER WAY, YOU WON'T PAY A PENNY MORE FOR SHIPPING. WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT.
As a heads up, the add-on options will be higher priced in the Backerkit Survey System - so the subscription is the best value. Standard shipping rates will apply on future recurring shipments.So try to create bundles that take your subscription shipments to the volume level that earns permanent reduced shipping (i.e. orders over $35 in the US).
You will always have the option to modify your subscription as often as you would like - so remember to set up an account so you can login in to your subscriptions in the future.
As a last bit of advice to eliminate errors and avoid any delays in your shipment.
1) Make sure your NAME & ADDRESS is accurate and consistent across both the dialedgear.com site order & the Backerkit survey system order.
2) Feel free to add extras on either the dialedgear.com site (best value) or Backerkit. The Backerkit survey process is NOT OPTIONAL. If you only do one of the two - do the Backerkit survey to confirm your reward and submit your address. The dialedgear.com site is mainly designed for those interested in setting up the recurring orders.
We will send the Backerkit Survey Instructions update tomorrow and then send out all survey invites by e-mail in a few days as we anticipate receipt of funds from Kickstarter soon.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this LONG, but important update. If you have any questions, just comment on this update - the last link in your e-mail (not in the general comments page) and we'll be quick to respond back to you.
Sincerely,
-The Dialed Gear Team
P.S. production is officially under way. Raw materials have been procured. Cutting has begun. We'll send manufacturing images in an update very soon. All is on schedule :)

We'll keep this update extremely brief, but we're excited to announce that we just opened up our Indiegogo preorder campaign. Send your friends and family this way if they missed the Kickstarter campaign. If you have already backed us on Kickstarter - you don't need to order extras on Indiegogo - you will do that on the Backerkit Survey checkout system in 2 weeks. We'll send instructions on that later. For now, if you know people that are interested in preordering that missed us on Kickstarter - send them here...
P.S. I just had to point you to my friends' (Radu & Andrew's) killer project today... the LAMPSTER. Incredible design and cool spin on a lamp. Who wouldn't want one of these? (1,300 backers already) Click Here:

We have enjoyed a beautiful Thanksgiving Day Holiday with friends,family, and loved ones. We have had time to reflect on the people that have made a difference in our lives. We are humbled to have such incredible support in our crazy life adventures.
In the last 48 hours we have added 20% of our backer base - WOW!. You are spreading the word and it is growing the dialed gear fan base.
We sent a note to each of our backers to say thanks. We wanted to send a mass update to you all to make sure you heard about our Black Friday Gift Bundle. Based on our success and new volumes, we are happy to announce we can offer a bulk gift set bundle that is an even better value than our current most popular bundle.
2 Large Wallets + 2 Large Notebooks + 2 Small Wallets + 2 Small Notebooks + Plus a pen for each (4 for the price of 2 comparatively) for only $116 ($242 post-kickstarter price). Limited Quantities. This bundle will only be available today -last campaign day- on Kickstarter and tomorrow all prices will revert back to standard pricing. Upgrade Pledge Here.
Buy a few extras as gifts for Dad, brothers, best friend, fiance, roommate, uncle, . . . It's a gift everyone will love (and actually use) :)
Please let us know if you have any questions. We are here to help.
We will send more information about the survey process once the campaign ends. You will confirm your reward level and provide your mailing address in that process, so PLEASE watch for the survey e-mail over the next 2 weeks and respond quickly so we can deliver your wallets as efficiently as possible. Our current goal is to ship all wallets early in January. If we can, we will ship earlier.
Sorry to be long winded. Bottom line... THANKS!

1,000 times - THANK YOU! We are humbled by your support and grateful for each and every backer that has brought us to this point! We are in the final week of our 1st dialed brand campaign and looking forward to moving production forward on the Notebook Wallet.
We have some exciting pre-production samples to share. Check these out:
The materials are beautiful. The craftsmanship is solid. The elastic on the strap is totally dialed in and is easy to use with just the right amount of strength to keep the wallet securely shut. We can't wait to get your feedback.
