INTRODUCTION

WELCOME DARK FANTASY LOVERS TO GRIM BANNER TALES!

As you have probably guessed this pin collection is aimed at highlighting the true folklore story's of the Grim brother fantasy tales before they were rewritten to suit main stream audiences, thus removing the dark concepts and the strong lessons which were used to teach the youth of the wrong doings of the world. 

To fit in well with the theme as well as give a nod to the old ways of story telling I have chosen to display the pins as banners depicting some classic fairy tales as old century mosaic glass in hard enamel pin form, thus giving the option at a later date to add more designs as well as effects for those of you wanting a bit oddity such as glitter blood effect etc.

POSTAGE COSTS:

Shipping fees will be collected after the campaign has ended through surveys sent directly to your email accounts. I have added this Estimate to allow those needing to budget the ability to know prices in advance.



Please note this is an estimation of postage costs at the time of this project running, always double check your areas postage costs as these could change due to world affairs or the current issues caused by tariffs.

HOW BACKERKIT WORKS:

  • Backerkit will not charge you for your rewards until the campaign is completed

  • You can adjust your pledge amount at any time before the end of the campaign

  • When the campaign ends you will be sent a survey to choose the funded designs you would like for your rewards!

  • I will be keeping you all updated throughout the campaign as it progresses, as well as after it finishes regarding production and shipping

  • Once the campaign is over, any remaining pins after fulfilment will be available via my Etsy shop


Edit

POST CAMPAIGN:

  • Funds should arrive about 18 days post campaign

  • All pins will be ordered at this time - manufacturing the pins take about 1-2 months

  • While we wait, I will keep you updated on their progress.

  • All pins and add-ons will be shipped to me for a final quality control check. 

  • Shipping will be charged separately at this time through Backerkit. And addresses locked. 

  • Pins should start shipping about 14 weeks after the campaign ends!

  • Shipping is tracked and will vary by country. But typically last between 1-6 weeks. 

  • All packages will be shipped from United Kingdom.


PAY OVER TIME IS AVAILABLE!

For this campaign, we will be trying out Backerkit's Pay Over Time beta feature! If your pledge is over $150, after you select a pledge and go to Checkout, you'll be given the option to pay 4 equal interest-free monthly installments of your pledge total over the course of 4 months.

If you select Pay Over Time, you acknowledge that:

  • You understand that your rewards will not qualify for shipment until you have paid in full.
  • You understand that any partial payments made are not eligible for a refund.
  • You understand that you will not be able to access the pledge manager survey until after you have paid in full. 

Please note, this means that Pay Over Time pledges will not be able to answer the color selection survey until their payment plan is completed and thus might have a more limited range of color options based on the availability of inventory that's bulk ordered.


REMINDER: SHIPPING WILL BE CHARGED AFTER THE PRODUCTION IS COMPLETED!!! PLEASE NOTE THIS.

Edit

PROJECT AIMS:

The aim of this project is to raise funds to produce the GRIM BANNER TALES PIN collection.

Following a successful campaign making sure to complete all backers orders to a timely but high quality, left over funds will be invested in to expanding upon future ideas ever growing a weird collection of merchandise available to everyone.
