Project FAQ
Yes! You can buy these items after the campaign ends at baozaifriends.com.
We cannot combine campaign pledges, and preorder store orders. Please note you can add items to your pledge during the campaign, and when filling out your survey. We recommend adding items this way if you want everything in one shipment.
You are able to edit your shipping address via your survey at any time before shipment. You will receive a Final Notice email before we lock shipping addresses. If you have difficulty updating your shipping address, please email [email protected].
Yes! For further info, please check BackerKit's information page regarding Pay Over Time: https://help.backerkit.com/article/805-pay-over-time Please note your pledge must be paid in full first before you get your survey if you choose to Pay Over Time.
Please contact BackerKit directly, as they handle payment processing! [email protected]
There are no refunds or cancellations once you have committed to your pledge (once the campaign has ended). We will not accept returns, with the exception of receiving a defective item (ex. holes, popped seams, torn embroidery, missing parts such as ears or limbs, etc.) If you receive a defective product, please contact us within 7 days of receipt at [email protected] for assistance with a return/exchange.
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.
