Project FAQ
The book is finished. The final files will be ready to send to the printers immediately upon receiving the funds from backerkit. I am using an overseas offset printer I have a continuing relationship with that has so far always delivered high quality books on time... estimated time to receive the finished books will be roughly 35-45 days after receiving the funds. There is always the chance for shipping delays from weather, etc... out of our control.
Shipping costs will be figured out after the campaign so you only pay exactly what is necessary for YOUR package, and not an average estimate... I don't want you having to pay any extra over what is necessary.
The Physical freebies are my little gifts to you. from the time you back, you will receive the current freebie, and all the freebies released each Friday after that! The SOONER you back, the more you get! If you back in the first 48 hours you will receive a FREE 11" x 17" double sided Alice poster, and all the freebies unlocked after that! if you miss the first 48 hours, but back within the first week, you will receive an exclusive Alice mini comic written by TS Luther that shows when Alice first met Big Tin! new freebies will be released each Friday after that and will be voted on in backer polls. *Freebies are for physical backers only, and are separate from unlocked achievements, etc... they are my free gifts to early backers.
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.
