Project FAQ
The best way to secure your Sunshine Teddies and other add-ons is to support the campaign by pledging or ordering via the preorder store (available after the campaign)! Stock may be extremely limited after the campaign ends.
Big Hugs Munchy and the restock of Raspberry Snug-Along are planned to be available on our store (https://littlesofts.com/) at a later date! Lil Freekz are undetermined to be available after the campaign.
After the campaign is over, a survey will be sent to your email that you can use to pick your chosen character/design. You can pledge for more items while the campaign is still active, and you can add additional items with your survey as well. If you utilized Pay Over Time, you do not receive your survey until your payment plan has been paid off. If you only pledged via the preorder store, you do not receive a survey. You already picked your designs when pledging via the preorder store. Please note we cannot change what add-on items are available to purchase.
Surveys are sent after the campaign has concluded. It is not instant, and surveys are sent out in a staggered manner (so someone may receive their survey before you do!) We will make an announcement to confirm when surveys are being sent out. If you elected to Pay Over Time, you do not receive your survey until your payment plan has been paid in full.
We cannot combine campaign pledges, and preorder store orders. Please note you can add items to your pledge during the campaign, and when filling out your survey. We recommend adding items this way if you want everything in one shipment.
The Snuggle Paws are in production! While we wait for them to be finished, we are working on the Sunshine Teddies campaign. These will be in production while Snuggle Paws will begin to ship out to you. You will not be able to combine shipping between campaigns as the production and shipping dates will be many months apart.
Toddler clothes of varying sizes may fit your Sunshine Teddies! You'll likely have to test, as sizing can vary between brands. We cannot endorse or guarantee that Build-a-Bear or other plushie brands' clothes and/or accessories will fit the Sunshine Teddies. We recommend waiting until you receive your new friend to determine what can fit!
We have no plans currently for any other Snug-Alongs to have a restock campaign.
Lil Freekz are only being sold as blind bags. We won't be selling characters individually. However, we know the feeling of wanting a specific design from a blind bag, so we will have a trading/selling/buying channel in our Discord server for our Lil Freekz! Please make sure to read the rules first! Some buyers may sell opened designs on other websites, as well, but buying off these websites is at your own discretion.
The secret rare will be rarer to get than the other Freekz, but we cannot confirm the exact odds until the campaign is over and we can confirm the final order numbers.
The Sunshine Teddies and Big Hugs Munchy are lightly weighted, around 2lbs.
Sunshine Teddies are made of super-soft faux rabbit fur fabric! The Lil Freekz are made of faux fur fabric. Sunshine Teddies and Lil Freekz are made out of all brand new materials.
(FOR INTERNATIONAL [Non-USA] BACKERS ONLY) We do our best to find the most affordable international rates possible. Our available shipping methods have strict dimensional limits -- prices increase dramatically when these limits are passed. International pledges may be split and shipped into multiple packages to mitigate these high prices. Packages that cross international borders are subject to duty tax assessment. Duty tax and applicable fees are usually assessed on a per package basis, so please keep this in mind if you choose to back multiple Sunshine Teddies. We cannot answer any questions about what you may be charged via customs/VAT/duties/taxes, etc. Please be sure to research your local customs rules before ordering!
We anticipate being able to begin shipping by August 2026, but we will continue to give updates during the production process! All orders will come with tracking! You will receive an email with your tracking number once your pledge has shipped. You can also confirm this information in your BackerKit account. Please note shipments will be done in batches, and are not “first come first served.” We appreciate your patience in advance! NOTE: Due to international postal limits, international orders may be split and shipped in multiple packages.
You are able to edit your shipping address via your survey at any time before shipment. You will receive a Final Notice email before we will lock shipping addresses. If you have difficulty updating your shipping address, please email [email protected].
Yes! For further info, please check BackerKit's information page regarding Pay Over Time: https://help.backerkit.com/article/805-pay-over-time Please note your pledge must be paid in full first before you get your survey if you choose to Pay Over Time.
Please contact BackerKit directly, as they handle payment processing! [email protected]
There are no refunds or cancellations once you have committed to your pledge (once the campaign has ended) or placed an order on the preorder store. We will not accept returns, with the exception of receiving a defective item (ex. holes, popped seams, torn embroidery, missing parts such as ears or limbs, etc.) If you receive a defective product, please contact us within 7 days of receipt at [email protected] for assistance with a return/exchange.
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.
