Hey everyone! December is finally here! This is massive month for the Coolio with all our products being packaged and shipped. Shipping started yesterday (December 22). Almost all the packages are now on their way to your doorstep!
For the USA, we have shipped to all destinations except Hawaii. Hawaii's packages will be routed through San Diego and then forwarded to their final island destination. Expected shipping time 15-23 business days.
For Australia, we have shipped to all destinations. Expect your Coolios in 7-13 business days.
For the rest of the world including customers in the Philippines, Curacao, and the Netherlands. We expect your order to arrive in 7-13 business days.
Please note that these are estimated arrival dates, and are not 100% guaranteed.
That being said, we are sure it won't be long until you have your Coolio in front of you and we can't wait!

Hello everyone,
We're excited to report that the Coolios and all the accessories are now 100% finished. If you feel like nothing goes to plan these days, you're not the only one. We know it's been a long wait for us all and we really appreciate your patience. We're as excited as you are for the packages to land!
We've scheduled a thorough review for quality and compliance with our design instructions for December 6-7. Afterward the Coolios will be transferred to our warehouse for packing and shipping to your location - that's includes everywhere from the USA to Australia to Hong Kong and even Curaçao!
For now, here's what we need from you: double check your address. We sent out a final notice that we are locking your mailing addresses last week, but here's one more opportunity. If your address has changed, please let me know in the comments.
Your order should reach you by the end of December. As always, we will keep you updated with more information as we understand it.
Update #11: Ticking Boxes, Kicking Goals

Hey Everyday Adventurers,
We're getting closer to the end of manufacturing and have recently signed off on the bottle openers, straw kits, and packaging. By the way, all of our packaging is compostable or recyclable and designed just for the Coolio. We've even creating all the barcodes for the outside of the bags so we know which Coolio goes where. We're just waiting for an official completion date from the manufacturer and, believe me, I am pushing them to get your Coolios done.
Done:
Bottle openers
Straw kits
Biodegradable packaging
Labeling for shipping
Free stickers you get with every order
Nearly completed:
Coolios
Once the Coolios are completed, they will undergo rigorous inspection for quality assurance and then make their way to our warehouse for packing and shipping. Like I've said before, we really appreciate your patience and support throughout this process. We're so excited for you to receive and start using your Coolios on the beach and beyond!
Stay tuned for another update as soon as we have more information. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at [email protected].
Everyday Makai loves you,
Audrey

Update #10: PRODUCTION HAS BEGUN!!! 🤩 🥳 😎
over 2 years ago
– Sun, Sep 26, 2021 at 04:08:09 AM
The best news ever! Production has finally begun!
Like I said in the video (sorry I am a better entrepreneur than a presenter), I am so grateful for this process. The manufacturing of the Coolio has been a journey in the making more than a year old. We've completely redesigned the Coolio to be more roomy, stronger, and easy to fill and use. The design now features a wider base that won't tip over and holds twice as many cans in a row.
Not only is the design finally "just right," we've upgraded the materials, got certifications on the recycled components, and tested different zippers and bottle opener designs. All-in-all this is the best Coolio ever!
Getting things "just right" has been a process. But that's ok because we want to build a product that you love and use for years.
I'll be honest, we did not expect these changes taking as long as they have. However, it is not uncommon for this back and forth process with a manufacture to take more than a year. What's important is that we held to our guns and got each part right before we moved on.
Production takes around 6 weeks. Next the Coolios will go through quality assurance, packing, transport, and finally shipping to your doorstep. It's ambitious because there have been significant shipping delays around the world, but we are going to push for a pre-Christmas delivery. We will try our hardest and keep you in the loop if anything changes, as always.
Meanwhile, we want to you to know we love our Kickstarter Backers... We also appreciate your patience through this process. So much so that we want you to have a 25% Off Lifetime Discount that you can use for any Everyday Makai product forever.
We are 100% committed to honest, open communication so please send me an email at [email protected] and join our private Facebook Group for more frequent updates.
Everyday Makai loves you,
Audrey + the EM team
We're having a lot of picnics in Australia... In fact, any time is a good time for a picnic around here because it's one of our few lockdown freedoms. Long live picnics!
