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.

When Will We Receive our Rewards?
Due to the upcoming Lunar New Year Holiday in China, production is estimated to not be prepared until early March. Additionally, to ensure the complete production standards I have in place, final production times may vary. Currently, I project to fulfill orders around late May/early June 2025. This is only an estimate, though, and they may arrive sooner, or later than anticipated.

Where is Noopy/NoopyNu 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. Our Noopy Representative's name is Steven, and you may often hear me talk about how helpful he is. We are grateful and blessed to have the rapport we have with our team overseas!
Is Noopy/NoopyNu 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. We understand that Noopy is easily drawn to the younger audience, which is why we say if you intend to purchase this item for your youngster, please remove the bell prior to giving to them. Choking Hazards: Noopy/NoopyNu contain plastic safety eyes, and a brass bell or similar accents that are not suitable for children under 5. Additionally, this item should be kept away from pets or animals that may find his texture fun to play with or chew! Noopy is created with 100% synthetic fibers and all brand new materials. Our manufacturer is compliant with all standard safety laws and tests.
What is Noopy/NoopyNu Made From?
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. Noopy is tested to comply with general CPC standards. Noopy should not be given to any child under the age of 6 due to his small plastic parts.

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.

Can I Cancel My Pledge?
As this is a crowdfunding campaign, and funds raised are intended to be used for the production costs of the items produced, we cannot provide a refund in the event you change your mind. You are able to cancel your pledge at any time before the end of the campaign. After the campaign ends, no cancellations will be permitted. Please pledge with this in mind. I am a small business/small creator who operates entirely solo.
