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. UPS rates plus insurance for shipping to the US for packages with more than 2 hoodies will range from $10.00 to $15.00 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 (more than 3 hoodies) , the rates vary greatly depending on location and weight, but we estimate somewhere between $45 and $60 could be possible.
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! :) 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!!
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.
