Hello! My name is Roy! You can find me under the handle Royarach on most social medias. I am a queer artist and designer based out of California and make a wide range of products from accessories, prints, apparel and sculpts.
Backerkit will not charge you unless the campaign reaches its funding goal.
You can change your pledge amount at any time before the campaign ends.
Surveys will be sent out once the campaign has completed so you can pick which designs you would like.
New pins unlock when funding goals are met. If funding exceeds the final goal all pins will be unlocked!
Standard and Premium pins
This campaign includes standard and premium designs. Standard pins are simpler or smaller pins with minimal effects. Premium pins are large and/or have special effects like additional screen printed designs, stained glass enamel, or UV printed details. As such Premium pins will be more expensive than Standard pins. Please see description or images to see if a design is a Premium or Standard.
Returning Backers will receive a freebie sticker of "Your Special Friend" white rabbit version. Stickers are 2.5 inch holo plaid waterproof vinyl.
This group event is called Dark Carnival Collection! Pledge to 3 or more campaigns within the event and get a freebie from each creator! My freebie is "Your Special Friend" purple bunny version! This pin is 1.5 inches big and made of black nickel hard enamel with screen print details.
Estimates can change or be delayed due to a number of reasons I can't control. So please allow for wiggle room. Thank you for your understanding!
April 14th - Campaign begins
April 30th - Campaign ends
May 4th-May 15th - Pre-order store opens and surveys go out
June - Manufacturing begins
August-September - Items ship out. (Also, international backers through Etsy will be charged around this time and ship when payment is received.) Production may be longer or shorter as factories and business close for the holiday season, so please consider significant wiggle room!
Shipping will be charged after the campaign is over though a Backerkit survey. This is also another opportunity to add other items, though we recommend you pledge for everything you want to fully fund the campaign first!
All packaging will use eco friendly and/or curb side recyclable materials with no pride themed decorations.
Domestic US shipping will vary between $7-$14 based on quantity and location.
International shipping will vary between $15-$30 based on quantity and location.
PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO RISING FUEL PRICES caused by ongoing conflicts usps is raising shipping prices by 8% for the rest of the year. Due to this expect higher than normal shipping prices world wide.
International backers: Please keep in mind that you will be responsible for any customs/VAT fees. It is illegal to change the price or mark the items as gifts on customs forms. If your package is returned for non-payment, we will contact you for additional shipping payment for redelivery.
UK Backers: If you want to pledge and you live in the UK please send an email to [email protected]. Due to VAT the only way I can ship to the UK is though my Etsy.
In your message, please include:
pledge level
add-ons if any
which designs you want to receive
whether or not you pledged to 3 or more campaigns
any other information you think could be relevant to your pledge
Using this information I will set up a reserved Etsy listing for you at the cost of pledge plus shipping when the project is ready to ship. Please see timeline for more details.
EU Backers: If you want to pledge and you live in any EU countries please send an email to [email protected]. I am accepting limited orders though myShopify shop.
In your message, please include:
pledge level
add-ons if any
which designs you want to receive
whether or not you pledged to 3 or more campaigns
any other information you think could be relevant to your pledge
Which EU country
Using this information I will set up a reserved Shopify listing for you at the cost of pledge plus shipping when the project is ready to ship. Please see timeline for more details.
Please make sure to follow the project even post campaign to get updates to current progress since I do not offer op-in international tiers. You will only be contacted via email when your pledge is ready to purchase.
We are always open to ship again any returning packages to the backer for whatever reason they were rejected in the first place for, but please be sure to provide a reliable address, and keep an eye on your tracking number for any notifications from the mail carrier so you can help reduce the chances of your package being sent back. Unfortunately, we will need another shipping payment in order to do so as the shipping is not refunded when a package is returned. There are no refunds and if you don't respond you could lose out on your items.
Additionally, international mail service has been suspended for some countries and as such backers are responsible for confirming if service is suspended.
Once backers have received their pledges, any extras will be available after the campaign in our respective shops but at a higher price.
Refunds and Exchanges: Refunds are not accepted. Backers are given ample time to make decisions while the survey is active. Once your order is locked in, I will not accept any refunds or exchanges.
If your rewards arrive damaged during transit please reach out to me with proof with photos and we can see what we can do about it.
Enamel pins are manufactured and crafted by hand so some errors may occur that will cause delays. Please keep in mind that artwork may not be 100% final! Please allow for minor variances like color, display, print, etc. I will convey any issues that come up with backers through the updates section. Delays due to holiday, sickness, shipping delays, and other unforeseen circumstances may occur and will be communicated through the updates channel.
Pins shipped will be standard grade, those with no visible flaws, OR flaws which are very minute or consistent and not immediately noticeable meaning they will range from perfect to very minor. All pins will be inspected prior to shipping.
