It looks like BackerKit is done with the initial charging for collecting pledges.
We currently have $1,500 in failed pledges, which is a large chunk of our funding, and enough to make us lose the Bear & Pig Pin achievement if not corrected.
Please check your pledge to ensure that your payment has been processed. Twenty-five of you have errored pledges. This could be due to a number of things, like if you pledged for a lot of projects, incorrect card info, insufficient funds, etc. So even if you do have the funds please double check anyways to be safe.
Please correct failed pledges as soon as possible. Most remaining fails do not end up being paid during surveys. 😞
We did it! Thank you so much for your support in bringing Celestial Snuggles to life!
So what’s next?
BackerKit is currently charging for pledges. Some people who have pledged many projects may get more payment denials than others. Anyone can be subject to a failed payment, please do not assume that your pledge has cleared. Check on your pledges and watch for email notifications for payment processing errors please.
We currently have 19 failed payments with some pledges not yet charged as BackerKit is still processing them.
About 2 weeks from now, I will send out a survey through BackerKit’s Pledge Manager. This is where you will choose your pin designs and other selections. This is also where shipping with be collected.
Estimated Timeline Below:
03/02/2026 Receive Campaign Funds & Backer Surveys Sent Out
4/01/2026 Surveys Due & Cards Charged
4/15/2026 I Place Orders
09/01/2026 Receive & Prepare Products
10/01/2026 Begin Packing Orders
11/15/2026 All Orders Shipped
Timely survey completion is crucial. Adhering to the deadlines provided ensures that I am ordering the correct quantities.
This timeline is heavily padded to account for any possible delays. Orders will be fulfilled as soon as possible.
Backers will be kept in the loop throughout the manufacturing process.
I will send another email prior to surveys being sent out.
Next up for new things is Unhinged Hearts Enamel Pins! Launching in 19 Hours! 🥳
We have unlocked the last 2 mini pins! 🥳 We just have to hold onto it! We also reached our 200 Backer Goal! (Which we also need to hold onto!) We are closing in on unlocking 3 more acrylic keychains!
Make sure you have voted on the poll about favorite Snuggly Companion! The top 3 designs that aren’t already available as keychains will be chosen as the next designs.
We have a mystery sticker gift at $10K! If we reach it, and hold onto that amount after failed pledges, that sticker will be upgraded to a mystery mini pin instead!
Thank you so much for another awesome event! I am so grateful for you all. 💜
We are heading into the final 24 hours! 🥳 We have reached our 200 Backer Goal which gives everyone a mystery sticker! BUT, can we hold onto it? 😅
This Pintopia has been a wild ride for many creators of whom are experiencing the most cancellations they’ve ever had for a project. I am also in that boat, with 52 cancellations at this time. Times are tough for so many right now so it’s totally understandable that this is happening. There are also so many amazing campaigns, it’s hard to choose between them all.
If you cancelled your pledge, and now have regrets, I will honor your Early Bird gift that was lost with cancelling if you decide to re-pledge.
If you cancelled before 2:35PM EST on Feb. 11th, and re-pledge before the campaign ends, please comment on this post so I can add the Early Bird gift you lost to your pledge. If you do not comment it will not be added.
If we can get up to our final stretch goal of $10,000 (which is our next gift goal) and hold onto it after failed pledges, I will upgrade that Mystery Sticker to a Mystery Mini Pin! 🌟
As always, any help spreading the word is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support! 💜
