Project FAQ
For the duration of the campaign, which is until the end of August, you have the opportunity to edit your pledge as often as you like, and even to withdraw it. However, once the campaign has ended and we have recorded your order, we cannot offer refunds just because of the nature of how this works. We need solid numbers to order books and decks for manufacturing. If you're not sure, set a reminder for a day before Aug 31st :)
Not really! Unless one of us gets struck by lightning, it's all going to be great! La Panthere Studio has a great relationship with its manufacturing vendors, and over 10 years of experience with product design and creation. We just need your help to jump-start the funding... the rest is our specialty :)
Typically it takes about 3 months to finalize, edit, produce and ship the products to customers. In this case, we will need closer to 5 months because our artist still has yet to illustrate a couple dozen of the card faces. But the book is written! So, we plan to spend about 2-3 months post-campaign finishing up the cards, refining the packaging, and making final edits on the book, before sending to production. Our current estimate for shipping to customers is January 2025.
BackerKit has a policy to separate the shipping charges from the pledge rewards, and so we really have no choice. But even so, it's a great policy because it allows us to get the very lowest shipping cost for each backer, based on their actual location and parcel weight.
All of the shipping rates that we quoted on the main campaign page (see "Shipping") were obtained by providing the shipping company with ONE postal code. For example, to obtain the EU rates, we used a random Spanish postal code, and compared it to the results from a German postal code. For the USA rates, we used a Colorado ZIP code and then compared it to a Connecticut one. This is how we made our best guess as to what a reasonable quote might be for your region. All USA rewards will be shipped via USPS Parcel Ground, and all international orders will be shipped via FedEx. These rates are to help you plan, and prepare, for the end of the campaign when we will charge you separately for shipping, based on your real and actual address. Note that we do not ship to commercial addresses; only residential.

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.
