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 the book be available after the campaign?
We would love that. Of course minus the Premium Edition, the swag pack, and the stretch goal items. The importance of such a campaign is to raise funds for a big enough print run, so to answer the question: it pretty much depends on how well the campaign is going.
Are the shipments tracked?
By default, only the rewards with original art in our apart from the book. We offer optional tracked shipping worldwide, but the standard parcels we ship internationally are not tracked, hence the low cost.
Where can I find out more about the artist?
The best place would be https://www.evenamundsen.com/
When will I be charged for shipping?
Here on Crowdfunding by Backerkit that happens after the campaign, when the surveys are sent. Generally speaking we offer very low cost options so there are no surprises after the campaign.
Are there alternative payment methods to using Backerkit?
Only for the Standard Edition. You can visit the link below and get the book through LiberDistri. If you preorder the book there during the duration campaign, you will also receive the stretch goals. https://www.liberdistri.com/en/books/1103-even-mehl-amundsen-tegn-redux-9782382891117.html
