BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.
Project FAQ
Will you offer ADD-ONS from previous campaigns?
Yes! We will have ADD-ONS of several products that we have made in the past including our very popular KLIP TI and KLIP AL, ION, ION Pen, etc. We also have a cool 7-piece survival kit you can use in your new EDC Organizer.
Will you charge additional Shipping Fees if we purchase ADD-ONS?
We will NOT charge additional shipping fees for purchasing ADD-ONS to ship along with your reward. However, there may be some INTERNATIONAL destinations that may require additional shipping fees which we will reach out to backers directly if we have issues.
Will international backers need to pay for Import Fees and/or Import Taxes?
Although not all international backers will have to pay import fees/import taxes. It can happen. We are unable to control which countries will charge these fees. You will want to check with your local government and import laws before pledging to see if you might be charged. Unfortunately, backers are responsible for these fees if incurred.
