Logistics While we're not ready to start shipping out Pebbles yet, getting prepared to ship Pebbles to 113 different countries has been quite a task. Okay, just one of you lives in French Polynesia but we care deeply about all our backers. That's why we've been running extensive shipping tests to determine the best methods to use as we ship out 85,000 Pebbles. All the test shipments reached their destination. Outside of a postal strike in Uruguay, we found that our test shipments reached their destination even faster than we expected. We also learned some important lessons about all the different customs documentation requirements around the world. There's absolutely no point in designing and building the most awesome watch possible if it doesn't reach your wrist in perfect condition. That's why we designed a custom shipping box to protect your Pebble while it's in transit. We're battle-testing the box to make sure it stands up to drops, spills, rips and maybe guard dog attacks (okay, we're not actually running that last test). We'll be shipping Pebbles from two distribution centres: one in Asia and one in the United States. If your shipping address on account.getpebble.com is in the US, your Pebble will be shipped via USPS from San Francisco. Otherwise, our international backers will receive their Pebbles via postal mail sent directly from Asia. As our test shipment backers can attest, we've put together an extremely efficient and quick system. Manufacturing Progress Our industrial designer was on the ground this
