Project FAQ
We do anticipate the artists each having some designs to sell individually as well as B-grade designs later if they so choose assuming all pins are funded. But in general, only the Sakura Dragon and Hops dragon are exclusive, we won't be ordering more than a small quality buffer of each of those designs and they won't be restocked if there are any leftovers. Backing the corresponding campaigns is the only way to obtain them at this time.
Pretty much, these designs have been finalized design wise, and we aim to closely match the original art as possible. There may be very small differences in production, but mostly due to photos and screen display compared to real life, and we will endeavor top match them as accurately as possible while still fulfilling in a reasonable time frame. any changes more than very faint will be communicated in updates.
If you are in a country that by the campaign is no longer accepting packages from the USA (or anywhere) please send me a message. We do have a method to still accommodate your order until it can be shipped if you still want to back and secure your pins. 1) Wait and see till the end of the campaign survey collection and check your postal service. 2 A) If you can, but shipping status changes before pins get to me for quality control and mailed off, see #3. 2 B) If you can't get your rewards now, message me here to your survey with your order based on what you plan to purchase (so I can count your pins in the order tally. It is ok to change your mind and choose less. I won't hold it against you. Please let me know your max likely order) 2 C) If you can get deliveries now, I'll send you a coupon to use and all goes as planned. Make your order and we will go from there. 3) If it changes again, let me know. I'll hold onto your order as long as required to make sure you get your order. However, once they leave my home with the USPS, I no longer have any control of your package.
The prices are estimated to be about $18-$20 per pin once in the shop. We don't anticipate making much of any profit through the project, with any extras mostly going to make minimum order fees per design. You are funding and supporting our campaign at basically cost, a couple cents payment for work, plus a little flexibility for manufacturer error or other problems that may arise (and a bit towards bonus pin from each order).
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.
