Project FAQ
You will be able to pick your pin designs from a menu after the BackerKit campaign has ended. For now just count how many pins you want and pledge for that quantity. Later on, you will get a survey asking for your pin selections. This does not include the pin sets, which have pre-determined pins selected already.
I have plans to sell my enamel pins featured in this BackerKit campaign online after they have shipped to backers. I will sell on Etsy for now and consider opening another website later on for people to shop for my pins, depending on popularity and demand. For the time being, the best way to get the pins you want is to be on time to pledge for them in BackerKit.
You can add the number of pins you want, including for duplicates if you want to give one as a gift, or put one on your bag and one on display for example. Just pledge for the quantity of pins you want and you can select the designs later. You are not limited to a certain number of any pin design (unless you pledge for the pre-determined pin sets).
Grading pins is where enamel pin artists decide based on flaws that a pin might be A-grade, B-grade, or C-grade. The issue is that enamel pins are made of metal which does get tiny scratches, and many details are done with machinery or by hand that prevents them from being "perfect" every single time. With that being said, I don't plan to send out any pins that are seriously flawed with chips, deep scratches, wrong colors, et cetera. So in that way, yes the pins will be graded and you won't receive any C-grade or "B minus" grade pins. Your pins might have minute scratches on the metal or small issues like that. I will strive for high quality and I hope you will not be disappointed.
I made the promo video using various clips, photos, and mostly Canva. I really wanted something not only to show off the pin designs but also to help explain my creative thought process while drawing the Cosmic Witch designs. The video was a labor of love that took about two months to complete. I really hope you enjoyed the result.
I have excluded countries where I cannot ship already, so if backers are able to pledge that means they are in a country I can ship to. Any tariffs, VAT, etc will remain as the responsibility of the buyer upon receipt. Shipping will be $5 within the United States and $12 to all countries outside of the United States.
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.
