Hey there tinkerers!

Thanks again for supporting us and backing Widget's Workshop!

As you know, we still need to charge for tax and shipping, and we need to know exactly where we need to ship your pledges. We’ll send out a BackerKit survey over the next couple days to collect this information and process final payments.

Answering your survey helps us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.

Full transparency

As always, I will be up front and fully transparent with all campaign aspects that may draw surprise. A lot has been going on in the world recently, so I want to be clear on the following points:

US backers: A smaller amount of tariffs are still in place in the US for all goods imported in China (30% of the manufacturing costs). BackerKit will automatically determine and charge the exact right amount of tariffs, for just the new units coming from China (existing inventory already stored in our warehouses will not incur additional tariff fees). In the end, the tariffs should only amount to about $2 per standard order of Widget's Workshop, and you will see this charge itemized on your final payment screen. As we get closer to the time of shipping, if the tariff situation changes (for better or worse), we will update your orders accordingly.
Shipping fees: Shipping these days is expensive. The good news is that once you get past a certain weight threshold, adding additional items to your order will have negligible impact on shipping fees - so it's best to add any other products you may want to your orders now! Almost all titles in our catalog can be added as add-ons, and last year's new releases will be available for 50% off (North America and Europe only)!!

Pledge Manager process

Soon, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards. We plan to keep the pledge manager open for just about 2 weeks.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://widgets-workshop-drop-style-game.backerkit.com.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://widgets-workshop-drop-style-game.backerkit.com/faq.

Headed to GenCon or Spiel Essen?

If you are attending GenCon in August or Spiel Essen in October and want to save on shipping, you may select LOCAL PICKUP in the Country drop-down in BackerKit. You will be charged just $5 for freight and shipping to the con itself, and then you can swing by our booth at the con to grab your pledge.

That's all for now folks - cheers! Jason
