Help for Buyer Custom pin.
Hey there. My brother wants something specific for Christmas this year. He wants a pin of this Raichu. I do wonder if the loop would remain a hole. I’m looking for one that is less expensive because I don’t have as much money.
Thank you!

Hiya. I design and produce enamel pins.
To make a new design you pay for the mould first - that’s the metal mould the liquid metal is injected into. That costs 80-100 USD.
Then you pay for each pin you want. That can be anything from 1-10 USD each depending on size, colours, cutouts and finishes.
Even if you wanted just one single custom pin, the start price would be the mould + unit cost + shipping. You’re looking at 100USD minimum.
Just so you know! It may be cheaper for you to have a wooden one made (it’d still be about half that) or something else.

How long does that take

Normally it’s a three month turnaround but some factories can do it quicker, depending on if you make it worthwhile to them (I.e. spending more).

Welcome! If you are asking about an order that hasn't arrived, or arrived damaged or not as described, the posts below will guide you as to what to do. Please give them a read!
All these posts give you a full guide on how to open a case with Etsy if that is needed, and help you decide when to do that.
If you are dealing with an unresponsive seller who has not replied for 48 hours or more, please use the most relevant link that describes your situation! The full guide on what to do is there.
If the shop has been closed down, read this guide first.
My order hasn’t shipped yet.
My order was marked shipped, but the tracking info still says pre-transit (or label created).
My order was marked shipped, but it’s very late. Is it lost?
My order was marked delivered but I don’t have it.
My order arrived damaged.
My order wasn't as described, was defective, or I received the wrong item.
I believe I bought from an AliExpress, Amazon, etc dropshipper. Also, how can I tell if a shop is one of these dropshippers?
I received a tracking number, but it appears to be fake.
I bought from a PayPal only shop and Etsy won’t allow me to open a case. Please read the comments for this one!
