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
When we will receive our rewards?
As our campaign has done SO well, my original timeline for October has been pushed back to Late November. However, I will do everything in my power to get rewards out as soon as possible. From the time we submit for bulk production, Noopy takes around 30-35 days to complete. Assuming there are no issues, then he gets on a boat and heads to the USA, which takes another 25-30 days. He then undergoes inspection and begins his route to our home, where we eagerly embrace his arrival before preparing him to go home to you! Be sure to check our updates and follow us on Instagram as I regularly update the status of various aspects of our campaign.
Where is Noopy produced?
I am honored to say our Magical Boi is ethically sourced and manufactured in Xuzhou, China. We have been using our manufacturer since Noopy's first mass production and we are very happy with the quality and their speed/reliability. We have been working close with our manufacturer since 2021 and they know that no Noopy is to be left behind. No matter how flawed they may be!
Will There be Restocks?
Most always, each "Wave" of Noopy is a one time production. It is safe to assume that each release will be retired after all Noops have found a home. In some scenarios, a 'reimagining' of a Noopy version may be released, with slightly different fabrics, or in a different size.
Is Noopy a toy?
Noopy is a collectors item, not a toy. We consider him to be a collectible, and we encourage only folks over the age of 15 to be caring for their own Noopy. Noopy is created with 100% synthetic fibers and all brand new materials. The manufacturer is compliant with all standard safety laws and tests.
Is Noopy safe for individuals with specific allergies (such as latex, PVC, metal)?
While our manufacturer’s and sourcing specialists adhere to all standard safety guidelines for trades in the USA (as is required by law), Noopy may not meet the rigorous standards required for individuals with severe allergies and sensitivities. For that reason, we do not recommend Noopy to be purchased for those who have severe sensitivity to polyester fabrics, ABS plastics, or other thermoplastic components and synthetic materials. For individuals with metal-based allergies or sensitivities, we encourage you to remove Noopy’s bell (or let us know and we can remove it for you) prior to use. As a reminder: Noopy is a collectible item and is not a toy. He is tested and designed to be handled by individuals over the age of 15.
