Project FAQ
Yes! however it it being done by proxy through shipping to UK first, so the costs are higher than usual and the transit time will take longer please read in detail below- Due to the GPSR standards and the requirement for non EU residents to have a representative I cannot ship directly to countries within the EU. HOWEVER- my colaboration partner Iella has extremely generously offered to step in and be a proxy for EU orders as she travels from UK to Malta frequently. What this means is I can ship to EU countries!! however there's some things to be aware of- One that this affects the cost of the shipping, the cost to each eu country has been boosted to a maximum to cover both shipping to UK, UK VAT of the items and shipping from within EU. This means there may be a small refund to some eu customers after shipping occurs. Two is that this will strongly effect the timeline of when EU customers- when their packages are sent out depends on when Iella is already planning on travelling to Malta from UK. I'm told visits happen approx 6-8 times every year so it's reasonably often , but I ask all EU customers to PLEASE have patience and especially don't hassle Iella. If this is a time sensitive item this may not be the campaign for you! That said I fully expect you will receive them before 2025 is over barring any enormous manufacturing mishaps. Lastly, this may be a moot issue- I'm currently working with a legal expert to see if I can find an affordable rep and ship myself before the pins arrive. This is the very best case scenario as all shipping cost will decrease, everyone will get some amount of a refund and i can ship directly and immediately. Should the last point happen I will make an update directly and immediately! In the meantime please check out Iella's campaign!! it offers EU shipping and we have really fun cross collab rewards for Backing both!

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.
