Project FAQ
This campaign will run from July 18th to August 8th. Once complete, backers will receive access to their pledge manager to choose tier specifics, such as T-shirt choices and sizes, as well as loot box selections. Backerkit can take up to two weeks to complete pledge collection. Your Pledge Manager invitation/surveys will be sent out as soon as possible. The pledge manager will then remain open for only one week. Orders will be locked by September 2nd, and any balance due (e.g., shipping) will be charged shortly thereafter. At that point, orders will be locked for packing and fulfillment. Shipping is expected to take place by late October or early November, contingent on the arrival of any outstanding items from third-party distributors.
With this campaign we are looking to fund the publication of BLITZ #1, with our goal being to publish 2 volumes each year, one for Fall/Winter and one for Spring/Summer. HOWEVER, should we hit our Stretch Goal Milestones we will adjust and and covert our schedule accordingly, from a biannual publication to potentially a quarterly publication!
Shipping will be calculated and applied by Backerkit when you fill out the final survey after the campaign is complete. This helps us ensure sufficient postage is collected without overcharging you with unspecific estimates upfront. With shipping rates fluctuating as rapidly as they have for the last 2 years, this is best for everyone! Estimated shipping is listed within the campaign under the heading "SHIPPING."
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.
