Project Update: BACKERKIT UPDATE ! (NEARING THE END)

📢 BackerKit Shipping Update – March 2025 📢

Hey everyone! Here’s the latest update on shipping for all BackerKits:
  • Owl House bags (USA pledges) – Shipping should finish ASAP! I am waiting on a few commissions that will help me wrap up shipping!
  • Hazbin Bags – Shipping will resume ASAP!
  • Hazbin Heaven & Stolas Bags – These will start once the previous shipments are finished.
  • Large 10x20 Bags – Since these are bigger than the samples, I had to order new boxes. Shipping will start soon.
  • EU Shipping – European Shipping for each backerkit is unfortunately a bit delayed due to new EU shipping issues I was not aware of. If I have to I might have to refund EU orders, but I am trying my best to not let this happen. If I dont do this right I could get fined heavily and Im trying to take the precautions for this to not happen, while still being able to give you your bags. <3

🚀 Need Your Bag for a Convention? 🚀
If you have an upcoming con and need your order sooner, please email me at [email protected] with:
1️⃣ The bags you ordered
2️⃣ The con you’re attending
3️⃣ The date of the event
I’ll do my best to prioritize your shipment!

💰 Why Shipping Has Been Slow 💰
I want to be fully transparent—manufacturing costs are split into $400-$500 payments, which I pay off weekly using Klarna or AfterPay (payment plans that let me pay in 4). This means I’m paying around $100-$150 per week, and because I do this every week, the costs stack up fast.
I typically make $500-$600 per week, but since multiple payments hit at once, I often only have $50-$100 left on payday. Since shipping costs $10 per package, that doesn’t leave me with a lot of extra money to get everything out as quickly as I’d like—especially since I still need to cover food and basic living costs.

📦 Shipping Timeline & Anime Arizona 📦
The good news is my manufacturer gave me a $1,000 credit due to a shipping issue, so all FUTURE shipping costs are covered! (This does not include stuff I am already paying for, I had around $1500 left, and only had to pay another $500. So future payments are done but I am still paying things off) My goal is to get most orders shipped out by the end of March, because I’ll be vending at Anime Arizona!
March / April will absolutely be the upshift of shipping, as I'll be having some friends come out to help me GET THESE BAGS OUT OF MY STORAGE UNIT
Trust me, I want them gone. Paying for a $250 storage unit for 50 boxes is NOT ideal. I want them GONE. </3
And we've resolved the future shipping issues hopefully, as I am getting a new representative that I have in contract cannot add fees after bulk creation, so this won't happen again!! :D

Anime Arizona Pick-Ups
If you’re attending Anime Arizona and want to pick up your bag in person, please message me before the con! I’ll bring it in a special shipment for you.
Thank you all for your patience and support—I truly appreciate it! 💖

P.S ! :
If you msg me and I tell you to use email for contact please know it is not personal. I've gotten threats in places like Instagram, and for safety of myself and being able to report to Backerkit, I have to use email. Thank you!
Akira
