All regular BIRD CRIMES pins that were available as campaign options are addons in CRITTER CRIMES. This means the Cockatiel, Budgie, Green Cheek Conure, Parrotlet, Lovebird, Zebra Finch, Rooster, Broody Hen, Sparrow, Pigeon, Cockatoo, Seagull and Kakapo. BIRD CRIMES' Blue Jay pin was a non-optional "gift" pin to backers who were incorrectly double charged for combined shipping. Since backers never had the chance to get A-grades of this pin, we are offering it for sale thru CRITTER CRIMES. The Blue Jay will not be available thru retail sale afterwards. This is your only chance to get it! The CORVID CRIMES pin is still a Pintopia 2024 exclusive, and cannot be purchased.

Nope! While return backers get a free Barn Owl, and 5+ pin backers, get the Sparkledog, they are not exclusive to single-time bonuses. Backers can select extra Owls or Dogs as 1.75" pin choices during their survey. The possibilities are endless! It's still up in the air whether these two will be sold retail after CRITTER CRIMES closes, but, as far as the campaign's concerned, you can get as many as you'd like thru your pledge tier or addons.

If I get one more email about this I am going to make the Boston Tea Party look like a Disney Princess film.

No. The nature of a crowdfunding project means you aren't just buying a product: you're funding the production, labor, and material costs that go into making it. By pledging, you're committing your part to a greater pot of money. Legally, technically, the rewards are just a "bonus." If one person decides to pull out of a pledge, it's annoying. If as few as three or four do, that's about fifteen packages that need to be shipped out of pocket. If thirty backers cancel, there goes my freight shipping costs to get pins from China to here. I do not offer refunds for pledges, addons, or shipping costs after a campaign closes.

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.

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.

1. Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
2. Select any add-ons
3. Confirm your pledge!

• You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
• Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.

After the campaign ends, you'll receive a survey to pay for any applicable shipping fees, calculated based on your shipping address.

Pay Over Time allows you to split your pledge into multiple payments over a set period. Your card will be charged according to the payment schedule (four monthly payments). Only available for projects that enable this feature. Learn More »

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.

For specific questions about your pledge or the project, you can view the Project FAQ below, search for your answer within the project, or send a message to the BackerKit Support Team or to the project creator.
