Regarding Shipping Delays✨

USPS is understaffed and experiencing an unprecidented volume of shipping due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, this has caused massive delays everywhere, and delays are now lasting much longer than usual, especially with orders outside the US.

Many tracking numbers still list packages as "In Transit" or "Not Scanned Yet." However, this does not mean your package is not moving. It could be out for delivery right now. There are many cases of individuals receiving their package in spite of what the mailing-status says.

We are so sorry again about the inconvenience. There's nothing more we can do to help locate the packages or have them arrive any quicker. All we know for sure is that they have been sent off. Perhaps you will get your item(s) sooner or later. We absolutely hope you will.

The delays frustrate us too. We care deeply about the happiness and care of you all. Trust us when we say that we are doing our best to make sure all of our customers are happy and taken care of.

If anything happens or we get notified in the coming weeks or months, like a contact from USPS or the package is returned to us, we will notify you as soon as possible!

Thanks again for reaching out to us, and we hope you understand. Have a wonderful, happy, and healthy day!💖💖

The extras sale is over!

For now, there is no plan for selling extras. However, we will post updates if we do choose to.

All orders have been shipped. If there is an issue with your order or order tracking, please contact USPS via their website for more information.

Once again, we have no control over what happens to an item after it is shipped. 100% of the items sold have been shipped to the addresses provided.

[diakkoproject]

Update: If you did not receive an update via your tracking # and it still says "New Label, Not Yet Shipped" or similar, please be patient. Please be patient, you should still get them. If nothing new happens within a couple weeks or so, we will take care of it.

A few international labels were not scanned at the post office we used to ship items on New Year's Eve. We will contact the post office again tomorrow to see what can be done, if anything.

Do not worry if you did not receive an update or your item yet. We will insure you either get your item(s) or you get a refund.

This ONLY applies if your label was marked as "Not Scanned," AND it was not delivered. If the item is in transit, please be patient, it should reach you if you provided the correct delivery address!

Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day!!

[diakkoproject]

Less than three days until the extras sale is finished! The sale ends on January 21st.

Act now as there is no guarantee these items will be sold in the future.

The Diakko community has decided to put together a day to celebrate our favorite pair of witches!

Calling all witches! We’re declaring February 1st as Diakko Day from this year onward! It will be a day to post art, fanfiction, headcanons, edits, etc. focused entirely on Diakko!

We’ve provided some answers to questions you may have below!

Why February 1st?

We decided on February 1st based on the events outlined in the Little Witch Academia Chronicles book. The timeline that is listed inside suggests the events of episode 23 happen in January, while the events of episode 25 happen in February. Assuming that the final 4 episodes happen in the span of 24 hours or so, we can come to the estimation that the Noir Missile Crisis happens on February 1st. As such, celebrating Diakko on the day that the two of them saved the world seems to be fitting!

How do I participate?

All you need to do to participate is post whatever Diakko work you create on February 1st and tag it as #DiakkoDay2021. We also suggest using the diakko hashtag, and if you post to twitter, share your works in the #LWA_jp tag! Our hope is that we can expand this shipping day past the English-speaking fandom. So spread the word however you can!

Why Diakko Day, isn’t there already Diakko Week?

In the past, Diakko has been celebrated on Tumblr, and across other social media platforms, during Diakko Week in the summer. However, we as a community have taken notice that Diakko doesn’t seem to have a designated shipping day, as many other ships in other fandoms do! So, why not make one ourselves?

Is there a theme?

Nope! You can post whatever you want, however you’d like! This is simply a day to celebrate Diakko. Feel free to use a theme if you’d like to use one, but we won’t be setting one up here!

Any rules or restrictions?

We won’t be reblogging or retweeting NSFW content. For writers, this means your fic or chapter needs to be rated T or G. For artists, that means no boobs, genitalia, blood/gore, BDSM themes or similar. If you’re not sure if your work falls under these rules, please feel free to shoot us a DM on either Tumblr or Twitter!

Additionally, we would request that writers send us only one fic chapter or oneshot that they wish to be shared. Artists may send collages or comics with multiple images if they so wish, but we’d ask that you send them as a single post to make sharing them easier, thank you!

If you’d like to stay up to date with our activities across platforms, consider also following us on Twitter @diakkoday!

That should be it! Please send us an ask if you have any questions! We look forward to seeing all of your work on February 1st!

Greetings everyone!

We're aware that some of you still haven't received your package and has it listed as still "In Transit." Please be aware that all items were sent during the holiday season and the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of this, many postal services around the world are overloaded with an increased volume of packages that need sorting. Additionally, when your shipment is "in transit," it means the courier company picked the parcel up & your shipment is on its way to the delivery address.

If your package is stuck in transit and you want to inquire about it, please contact USPS via https://www.usps.com/help/contact-us.htm OR your local post office and ask them to email the sorting facility where your package is stuck. Be sure to mention your delivery address and tracking number!

Have questions about USPS products and services? Let us help. Call us at one of the numbers provided or send us an email.

Thank you so much for your time, and we hope you have a wonderful day!

✨Extras are now on sale✨

Quantities are limited, so act quick! All items will be sold separately, rather than in bundles due to items being limited, with the exception of PDF copies. The sale will last until January 21st at noon CST.

Store Link: https://believinghearts.bigcartel.com/

Believing Hearts

Additionally, as a reminder, we will begin shipping items in one week and not immediately. We need time to order new mailers and packing material and give time, considering it is the holiday season so please be patient!

[diakkoproject]

Update!✨

We will begin selling extras on Monday, December 21st at Noon, CST. The sale will last exactly one month until January 21st. Unlike before, ALL products (except digital PDFs) are LIMITED! Therefore, you better be quick if you want to snag a copy of the book or merch.

Additionally, any and all damaged copies of the book (those with scuffs, scratches, bent pages, etc.) will be sold at a reduced price. The same goes for damaged merch (those with scuffs, scratches, broken charm link, etc.).

There will be no bundles this time, as we are only left with a set number of items. All merch will be sold separately.

Shipping of items will begin one week after the sale begins, as we need to reorder shipping supplies to accommodate the amount of sales & items being shipped.

Lastly, there will be NO second run of Believing Hearts UNLESS we sell out quick and enough interest is shown from people seeking a second set of preorders in the future. This is no guarantee, so if you truly want a copy of the book and/or merch, now is the time to get it!

Thank you so much for your patience and have a nice weekend💖💖

Hello everyone!

All physical items were shipped and digital copies have been emailed. Please check your email that is linked to your Big Cartel account. If you did not receive the PDF, please message us here with your order number, and we will send it to you right away! 

Also, we still get comments and messages about selling extras. We will give you an exact date of resales in a few days. Please be patient! We want to make sure the items we sent out are making it to everyone safe and sound :)

All who ordered physical items, be sure to check the email linked to your Big Cartel account, a tracking # was emailed to you there so you can track your shipment!

[diakkoproject]

Hello everyone!

The manufacturers gave us these time estimates for getting all items to us:

Fanbooks & Prints, 12-14 days. Enamel pins, 17-21 days. Charms, 10-20 days. Stickers, 6-8 days.

This puts us shipping everyone's orders to around early to mid-November!

We are ordering many extras as well and will sell them after initial orders are sent out. So if you missed out on the first wave of orders, you will get a second chance!

Thank-you so much for your patience, understanding, love, and support!🥺💖

[diakkoproject]

💖UPDATE💖

Pre-orders will be open once more for the next 48 hours!! From now until Noon CST on October 3rd.

Store Link: https://believinghearts.bigcartel.com/

This is since we received many messages about people missing pre-orders. Additionally we must order proofs before all items, which takes time. Keeping pre-orders open for an extra couple days will not impede the process. Shipping is still expected start between late October and late November!

Additionally, we would like to welcome @ticcytx and @onhiro as surprise-bonus additions to the fanbook! 💖💖

Thanks to the extra sales, we were able to enhance the quality and page-count of the fanbook! We look forward to sending it out and, as previously mentioned, will send updates as they come in!

Thank you for your patience, and we hope you have a wonderful day!

[diakkoproject]

💖PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW CLOSED💖

We will now begin the process of making fanbooks & merchandise for Believing Hearts, acquiring proofs, and preparing shipments. We will post updates here and on our Twitter regarding the process! Thank you so much for everything, everyone! We appreciate you all! 🥺

Below is an FAQ with commonly asked questions (and answers). If your question does not relate to anything in the FAQ, please send us an email at [email protected] !

Q: When will my item(s) arrive? / When will you ship?

A: We will ship everything out once we have all items collectively. First, proofs will be made to ensure the final items are perfect and of the best quality. Next, all items will be ordered and shipped to us in bulk. Then, we'll package everyone's orders. Once this is done, we will ship out everyone's orders and email you the tracking number for your order with your PDF copy (if you ordered one). This process takes one to two months to complete, depending heavily upon how long it takes for all the items to get to us. We estimate shipping of orders to begin on October 24th at the earliest or November 24th at the latest, or anytime in-between. When your order is shipped, the time it takes to get to you heavily depends on where you live. US domestic orders should take no more than one week to arrive. Any order shipped outside of the United States may take 2 to 6 weeks, depending on your country's guidelines. Please note that some countries are under stricter guidelines due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. See link for details: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/international/welcome.htm

Q: When will we get the PDF copy of the fanbook?

A: PDFs will be emailed to you, via your Big Cartel email address, as soon as every physical order is shipped out.

Q: I missed the pre-order period, may I still order something from you?

A: We will sell all extra items at a later date. Please follow the social media listed below for updates.

Q: May I get a refund or change my order?

A: No. It is too late to get a refund or change your order/bundle.

Thank you for your time and patience and have a wonderful day! We look forward to sending your orders out and hope you like them!

Heads up y’all! My 8-page comic ~Beatrix’s Blessing~ will be one of the 150+ works of fanart and fanfic featured in the Believing Hearts DiAkko fanzine!!! @diakkoproject

10 years after the events of the series, Diana and Akko return to the Cavendish sanctuary during the Venusian eclipse, in order for Diana to finally undergo the ritual to become Head of House. But when Beatrix acknowledges their love, they get a little something more…
