Project FAQ
The campaign ends Feb 13. I will need to have funds clear from Backer Kit and be deposited in my account to start production. Funds take about 14 days to deposit. Production of pins should take a month and a half at most. Shipping is via air from the factory so usually one week. Once I have the pins, I will be quality checking and then packaging orders to go out via USPS. Estimated arrival to backers is late April to early May.
Pintopia collab pins are only available to backers who support both mine and AsherBee's projects and dependent on both projects hitting full funding. Pins are free to those backers only and will not be in the add-on shop. Early bird Banana Milk keychain: Item is free to backers in the first 48 hours, but if you miss the window, you can add it on for an additional cost to your pledge through the add-on shop.
Backer Kit projects are all or nothing. If I don't hit goal by the deadline, the pins will not go into production. If the project funds - yes, once pins have been sent to all backers, they will be added to my online shop and available in person at future events. Exclusion is the special collaboration pins with AsherBee. These are ONLY available to backers to both our projects (see FAQ about exclusives).
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.
