SHIPPING FEES- Shipping fees will be collected after the campaign through pledge manager
Currently we are not shipping to the EU due to GSPR restrictions. When completing your survey, please double-check your shipping address to make sure it’s accurate. For our wonderful international backers (outside the USA), just a heads-up: you’ll be responsible for any customs or VAT fees. For UK backers specifically, VAT isn’t included in the pledge price, so there may be additional customs charges when your package arrives.
If a package gets returned due to an address issue, I’ll kindly ask you to cover the shipping costs to resend it. But don’t worry- if the mistake is on my end, I’ll take care of reshipping at no cost to you!
Thanks for your understanding, and I’m here if you have any questions! 💌
You “Pledge” to receive the pins of your choice! Higher pledge tiers will have exciting extras like a free patch, stickers, or other goodies depending on the level!
Our initial goal is to fund the first pin, minipin, and every add-on. The more raised, the more pins will go into production!
This is an all-or-nothing campaign, so you won’t be charged right until the end of the campaign.
Once the campaign concludes, and if it is fully funded, surveys will be sent out. During these surveys, you will be able to make final add-ons and select your pins and other pledged rewards.
Surveys are also important because they supply your shipping details. ter the campaign is over, you can select your rewards from the designs that have been unlocked.
Early bird spots are limited tothe first48hours. If you un-pledge during the campaign you will not be able to re-pledge for the early bird deal again if it's past 48 hours, even if someone else drops their spot!
Pay-Over-Time If you opt into pay over time, (eligible for any pledge over $150) you can pay your pledge in increments. NOTE:You will not receive your survey till you complete your payments! We will do our best to order extra to ensure we have enough stock for your pledge. Completing sooner is better! * After the campaign, pins will be available as blind bags in our shop., Pledging during the campaign allows for the opportunity to pick your favourite design, or all the designs without chance at a lower price.
