Just a few updates:
1. Invoices for the first 14 have been sent, we're sending it by batches so the rest should receive it over the next 12 hours. Invoices are in SGD because we are paying Percent in RMB.
2. Some people have kindly replied and told me that they will drop out. I will reraffle these slots.
Some explanation about invoicing in SGD:
Recently PayPal and Shopify converted our business account from USD to SGD. While it's possible for us to have money in both currencies, PayPal does not allow us to withdraw it in USD, only SGD. For the Kira buy this was unexpected and I paid for production out of my own funds since we would be losing quite a lot of money if we were to do USD (PP) > SGD (bank account) > USD (factory). This time around Percent has kindly allowed for me to pay in RMB, so SGD (PP) to SGD (bank) does not incur any further charges, which allows me to then remit in RMB to Percent as well without any loss, since we only have to take into account 1 currency conversion.
If you've emailed/messaged me i'll be replying it through the day, thanks for your patience.
