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
Exclusive Rewards
Anyone backing this project in the first 48 hours will receive 1 extra pull/pin! This means that once the pins have been produced, you will get 1 extra chance at a random pin!
What is a pull?
After the pins have been produced, I will host a live-stream where I will use a gacha vending-style machine to draw/pull pins! Each pull has a random pin inside, and this will be the pin you receive!
Project Timeline
Once the pins are funded, I will submit the order to my manufacturer. By the start of January, the manufacture will have already approved the artwork and created a mold for the pins. That means, all that is left is to produce the pins themselves, which takes the longest. I generally estimate between 2-3 months for any size pin because of holidays, delays out of my control, manufacturer errors or redos. However, because I have started the first steps of the process early, we should expect to see the gacha Vox before Winter's end. I will keep you all updated on my twitter mainly, but will post regular updates here.
Shipping details
Shipping details will be worked out after the project comes to an end and the items are in hand. If you cannot pay the shipping costs, you will not be refunded the price of the pins. Generally shipping within the United States is between $8-15, more or less (depending on the weight of the package). If you are purchasing from another country, please ideally try to find a proxy/friend to help ship them to you, or contact me if you are out of options.
Refund Policy
As soon as the campaign ends, the manufacturer will begin producing these pins as they will already have the mold ready at that time. For this reason, refunds will not be accepted. If you are unable to pay for the shipping costs one that time comes, I can hold on to the pins for up to 14 days. If you are still unable to pay the shipping costs at that time or find a friend/proxy to help, you will be forfeiting your ownership of the pins, and I will list them as in-hands on my etsy.
What are the specs?
Each pin is 1.5" hard enamel with screen printing. Some of the special variants that I will be offering as Achievement Goals may have special effects such as glitter.

After-market Rules
Anyone caught purchasing and selling any of my pins for obnoxiously high prices will be banned from purchasing from me again. I want everyone to have a fair shot at these pins, and no one deserves to pay a ridiculous amount for them.
