Project FAQ
Sadly due to the removal of the de minimis import rule all postal services will be adding a fee to incoming post from outside of the USA. Much is still unclear, changing every day and some postal services have stopped their service to the USA. Update 22 August: My postal service has let me know they have paused their services to the USA. Due to this I have decided to EXCLUDE USA BACKERS from this crowdfunding. If in the future shipping to the US is an option again I will offer the option immediately. Leftover pins will always be available in my online shop after a project is successfully funded as well.
Frogtastic Poison Dart Frogs and Salamander will be shipped from the Netherlands, in Europe. We will comply to the GPSR rules and be able to send to all EU citizens and outside of Europe.
If that great news happens we will celebrate it with some nice pastry and then check to see if we can perhaps unlock some extra designs. I got ideas for extra Poison Dart Frogs and found so many cool Salamanders so we can add a few more if there's enough time.
My preference goes to hard enamel pins of around 3-5 cm, with two backing posts and rubber clutches (in fitting colour) and screen print on it if the design of the frog or salamander needs it. There will be no special effect enamel pins in this crowdfunding project this time.
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.
