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.
Project FAQ
Are these books available in any other languages?
This campaign is for the English editions of these titles only. These books were originally released in French. Other languages may be available elsewhere, but we are not offering those.
Will these books be available in stores?
The individual hardcover volumes will eventually be offered to retail later in the year, possibly at a higher price point. Several of these titles have been out of print for quite some time, so this campaign is also meant to facilitate new printings of those books to make them available again.
Why don't prices include shipping?
Global Shipping conditions and uncertain tariffs continue to make international shipping rates and delivery times somewhat unpredictable. By calculating shipping closer to fulfillment, we avoid having to cautiously over-estimate and collect shipping early, hopefully saving everyone in the process. Recent tariff issues have been considered in the price of the tiers as offered. Shipping rates will not be affected by tariff fluctuations.
