Welcome Competitor,
Production been working behind the scenes but we're ready to pull the switch on BackerKit from "Crowdfunding Mode" to "Pledge Management Mode." Here's what you can expect in the next couple days:
Production been working behind the scenes but we're ready to pull the switch on BackerKit from "Crowdfunding Mode" to "Pledge Management Mode." Here's what you can expect in the next couple days:
- We'll send out a "smoke test" to a limited number of backers so they can check their pledge and delivery info and order add-ons and we can make sure we've got everything configured properly on the back end.
-
Assuming that shakes out okay, we'll push surveys live to all 3,111 (!!) of you. You'll get an email from BackerKit linking to a survey where we collect your mailing address and review your rewards. If you want to add additional rewards to your pledge, you'll be able to do that as well. There are some restrictions for add-ons depending on what tier you are in, see "A Note About Add-ons" section below for an explainer on that.
- If you are expecting to move soon, don't worry - nest year, after the books are printed and our warehouse is spinning up fulfillment we'll give you a chance to update and lock in your address.
- When surveys go live, pre-orders will also go live. If you have a friend who missed the campaign, this is their chance to get in on the same wave of fulfillment as the original backers. Spread the word!
That covers the basics of moving into Pledge Management mode. In a few weeks we'll send the final files to the printer and should have update on printing progress in a few months. We're still on track for a June 2024 delivery date!
And finally... A Note About Add-ons
The short version is: If you pledged for a digital-only tier, you can only add digital items to your pledge. If you pledged for a physical tier (like Hardcover + PDF) you can add any reward to your pledge. Mostly this is due to the fact that we don't ship worldwide and the shipping destination is only screened if we're expecting to actually ship you a book.
Good news: If you pledged for the PDF Only tier and now want a physical book, you still can get one! (Caveat being: you reside in one of the countries we ship to: USA, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, Ireland, or Norway.)
Upgrading from digital-only to a physical reward can be done when you get your survey. When you start the survey, just beneath the "Get Started" button, click the link to "Switch your Pledge Level" and select the Hardcover + PDF pledge level. After that, you'll be able to add on any other physical items in the add-on section.
Thanks for your time and attention. Look for your BackerKit survey soon!
