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
When do I get charged for my pledge?
You are charged by Backerkit for your pledge once the campaign comes to a close and only if the project is successfully funded for the main goal.
Is shipping included in the pledge cost?
No, shipping costs are NOT included in your initial pledge. Shipping costs will be charged SEPARATELY AND LATER ON AFTER THE CAMPAIGN CLOSES! Shipping costs will be dependent on the physical weight of items together that you pledged for and your location! If you would like an approximate shipping estimate to your country before you pledge, please contact me and I'll be more than happy to give you a general estimate - however until the merchandise arrives I cannot guarantee how much shipping totals will come to in the end! Please pledge for rewards accordingly, and keep in mind the prices for merch here do NOT include shipping costs!
How big in size are the plushies?
Both Yue and Skye measure approximately 14-16 inches tall.
