Hello Songbird Family,

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news: the steel molds have safely made their journey across the Pacific! They’re now in Wisconsin, where they’re being cleaned, inspected, and mounted onto our factory machines to begin production.

Our manufacturing team is currently engineering the full production workflow, carefully coordinating the plastic-molded components with the aluminum parts to ensure everything comes together seamlessly. At the same time, we’re hard at work finalizing our packaging design and partnering with a third-party logistics provider (3PL) to get The Ultimate Hamper safely into your hands.

This is a huge milestone for The Ultimate Hamper, and we can’t wait to share photos of the very first units coming off the production line.

While it’s still difficult to provide an exact shipping date, please know that we’re working closely with our partners to prioritize quality and create a product you’ll truly enjoy. If all goes well, our current goal is to begin shipping in late Spring. We’ll continue to keep you updated every step of the way.

Until then—happy laundering!

Yours Truly,

Tina

Hello Songbird Family,

We’re excited to share that the aluminum components of the Ultimate Hamper are now finalized! Below, you’ll see a fully assembled Ultimate Hamper featuring the actual handlebar and rotating hanging bar. While the plastic components attached to the aluminum parts will be color-matched in the final version, we’re already thrilled with how it looks—and how solid it feels.

After an extensive search for a U.S.-based aluminum fabricator, we’re happy to report that we found an excellent partner in Wisconsin, conveniently located near our main production facility. This allows us to proudly fulfill our commitment to making the Ultimate Hamper in the USA.

As everything continues to come together, and while we await the arrival of the steel molds for the plastic components, we’ll be reaching out to our Kickstarter and Indiegogo backers to confirm color preferences and shipping addresses.

If you pre-ordered through our online store, we’ll also be contacting you to verify your shipping information, in case anything has changed since your order was placed.

This holiday season, we’re deeply grateful for both the blessings—and the challenges—of bringing this product to life. As we head into the new year, we’re excited to fulfill all pre-orders. Thank you all for your continued patience and support.

Yours Truly,

Tina

Hello Songbird Family!

After a long and detailed development process, we’re excited to share that our production molds have been fully finalized! This comes after several rounds of test shots shipped from our overseas partners for inspection. Along the way, we fine-tuned multiple design elements—including the embossed logo, bin texture, fitment positioning and sizing, and the removal of the two handle holes on the back of the bin.

Today, we’re thrilled to report that all adjustments are complete, and we’ve officially given the green light to pack up and ship the molds to our factory in Wisconsin. Transit time is estimated at 6–8 weeks (big, heavy ships move slowly!). The shipment contains several thousand pounds of precision steel.

Once the molds arrive, our factory team will mount them onto the machines, engineer the production workflow, and begin manufacturing. From there, we’ll be ready to start shipping to our customers!

Given the updated timeline, it’s unlikely we’ll be able to ship before the holidays. We sincerely apologize for the delay — our goal was to have the Ultimate Hamper delivered before Christmas, but the tooling process took longer than expected. That said, we’re confident the extra time has allowed us to perfect every detail, ensuring a high-end, functional product you’ll be proud to own.

Here are some of the sample shots:

Yours Truly,

Hello Songbird Family!

The aluminum parts of the Ultimate Hamper are coming together! One of the steel dies is complete, and we have generated our first extrusion.  This will be the siding for the rotating hanging bar. 

For coloring, we have engaged a factory to do the powder coating.  It's conveniently located near our main factory in Wisconsin.  We have two options for you: sleek silver and champagne gold.

We'll share more as we have further developments.

In terms of shipping, due to a longer QA process with the plastic bin, we are now looking at shipping some time in November or December.  Thanks so much for your patience as we bring this product to life.

Yours Truly,

Tina
