BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.

Shipping Details
We ship to any country (unless for some reason we're prohibited!) SHIPPING/PACKAGING FEES WILL BE COLLECTED AFTER THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER AND WILL FUNCTION AS FOLLOWS: Ground Advantage rates for shipping to the US for packages will range from $5.65 to $10.00 depending on the weight of the package. We estimate an additional $2 per box for packaging, handling, label, and so on, so most US packages will end up in the $7 range for shipping. Priority rates for shipping to the US for heavier packages will range from $10.00 to $13.00 depending on the weight of the package. We estimate an additional $2 per box for packaging, handling, label, and so on, but most packages will land in the $12 range. Pirate Ship Simple Export rates for any international packages under 4 lb will range from $9.50 to $26.50 to Canada and $12 to $36 anywhere else in the world depending on weight. Most packages to Canada will end up in the $10-$17 range and most packages anywhere else will end up in the $15-$22 range. For international packages over 4 lb, the rates vary greatly depending on location and weight, but we estimate somewhere between $45 and $60 could be possible. HOWEVER, we will likely come up with deals for our international backers ordering that much and hope to keep you all below $35 for shipping if possible.
Timeline
As all designs are complete (except for the custom ones), our timeline simply consists of PRODUCTION. As soon as we receive the money from Backerkit, we will send all merch off for order. Depending on order quantity, print time may vary from three weeks to two months, so we like to give the long estimate and hope for the best! :) That means we're telling you June, but hoping for sooner than that for delivery. Shipping via our fulfillment team typically takes from two to four weeks depending on order quantity, but we like to get on it AS SOON AS we have all of our rewards!!
