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

Hello Songbird Family,

We’re thrilled to share the latest updates as we put the finishing touches on the Ultimate Hamper!

Our large bin mold is in its final stages, and after a meticulous quality assurance process, we’re reviewing new test shots to ensure every detail meets our highest standards. In the video below, you’ll see the actual bin coming fresh off the tool—an exciting step toward bringing this vision to life!

Meanwhile, the dies for the aluminum components—the handle bar and rotating hanging bar—are being cast and will be ready in the coming weeks. With each milestone, we’re moving closer to production and shipping.

Thank you for your patience and for joining us on the journey to create the world’s first all-in-one laundry hamper. We can’t wait for you to experience it—trust us, it’s going to be worth the wait!

Yours Truly,

Tina
