Project FAQ
You card will be charged on April 1st when the campaign ends!
Great question! You will be able to choose which unlocked dumpster darling you get in the end of campaign survey that will be sent to you two weeks after the campaign ends! If you choose the 1 plushie tier, you will get to choose one plush, but you will also get the option to add on more items to your pledge in the survey as well!
While I am always hoping that all plushies are unlocked, there is always a chance that we don't get the funding for some of our stretch goals. This doesn't mean that they won't ever be made! If you are happy to receive another plush from the campaign, you can continue your pledge, but you can always cancel your pledge at any time up until April 1st! Any unreached goal will be listed for preorder on my website instead after the campaign is over, and if you stay a backer you will get a free shipping coupon! Want a stretch goal to come to life? be sure to help us spread the word though socials!
YES! This is a great question, as sometimes crowdfunding can be a little confusing! When you back a pledge level, you will receive whatever is included in that tier! For example, if you choose the 1 Dumpster darling tier, you will actually receive your choice of a dumpster darling plush! Backerkit Crowdfunding is basically an advanced preorder system, your pledge not only secures one of our plushies for yourself, but it also helps fund their production!
Dumpster Darlings are expected to arrive to me in september of 2025! WE will take about a month of quality checking and tagging before they ship out, so you can expect your dumpster darling to arrive to you late september to early october!
Sometimes backerkit can be confusing! If you would rather wait until after the campaign to buy a plushie off of my website Alpacasews.com, they will all be available for preorder starting early May. Want to buy plushies that aren't part of this campaign? (Koffee kittens, Garden Dragons ect...) You can get them only website, or through my etsy under the name Alpacasews !
If you need to contact me for any reason regarding your pledge, this project, or anything alpacasews, please contact me [email protected].
You will be charged for shipping after the campaign! Once you complete your survey, you will input your shipping address and your card on file will be charged for any additional add ons you choose and also your shipping amounts! Be sure to look under the shipping tab of the campaign for more information
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.
