Project FAQ
With shipping rules, prices and *shudders* tariffs... ever-changing, this question can be best answered when I have the finished product on-hand and can calculate shipping based on weight/size of package. I will be using ChitChats for shipping where possible, so that will hopefully allow me to keep costs low as possible for you guys! My current plan is to charge a flat rate of $25 internationally. Thank you for your patience about shipping information <3
In order to keep costs reasonable for you guys while still allowing for me to make a profit, the bags will likely be somewhere between $100-$120 CAD*. As I begin working with my manufacturer, I'll be able to get a clearer picture of this and will update you all accordingly! *Prices for all items will be in CAD, since I am Canadian! So please keep in mind that the price may be different in your currency if not CAD.
My current working estimate is about 32cm wide and 30cm tall*! (*not including Rocky applique piece on the front, just the size of the actual bag). My plan is for them to be about 10cm deep.
Assuming everything goes smoothly, I'd estimate I can begin shipping out rewards in spring of 2027. I will keep you all updated as the timeline changes and becomes more concrete!
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
