Sticker Design Poll
about 1 month ago – Fri, Dec 06, 2024 at 10:52:42 AM

Hey all, 

I'm currently working on building the surveys and am looking for some input on sticker designs. If you have a chance please check out the latest poll. Which of the campaign designs would you like to see in the add-ons section of your survey?

Keep in mind the poll will only allow you to choose one option, but feel free to add your other options to the comments below. 

Cheers,

Ink & Enamel - What's Next - EB tier upgrade
about 2 months ago – Mon, Dec 02, 2024 at 06:16:08 AM

What happens next?

Now that the campaign has ended Backerkit will begin charging cards for pledges. Within the next 1-2 days you should see a charge from SNARKYCO on your statement. Payments may have already been charged when the campaign ended, but may have been delayed due to the holiday. 


Surveys

In roughly two weeks you will receive a BackerKit survey. I will also send out an update before surveys go out. The purpose of the survey is to choose the designs you want for your pins, provide your shipping address, and pay for shipping. The survey will also have an add-ons section and that is where you'll find other items like stickers, bookmarks, extra pins, etc. Add-ons are entirely optional.



EB Tier Upgrade

If you are an Early Bird Backer and you want to upgrade your EB tier to include more pins, please email me at [email protected], with the name and email associated with your pledge and what tier you want to upgrade to. You can switch from one EB to tier to another EB tier, but you cannot switch from a regular tier to an EB tier. You can switch your EB tier up until surveys go out.

If you have any other questions please email me at [email protected]



Failed Payments

If your payment fails, BackerKit will attempt to charge your payment method a few more times in the following days. If your payment fails every time, you will still be able to pay for your pledge within your survey to get your rewards. If you have a failed pledge payment you will still receive your survey and you can update your payment within the survey to ensure you still get the pledge level you choose and freebie items.



And again, thank you all so much!

Cheers,
Liz

News regarding backers in the European Union and GPSR
about 2 months ago – Wed, Nov 27, 2024 at 04:27:13 AM

Hey everyone,

This update is for backers in the European union and Northern Ireland only. Yesterday I was made aware of the new General Product Safety Regulations (GSPR) that will take effect on December 13th, 2024. These new regulations require that I have what's called a EU responsible person or representative to certify the safety of each individual product I sell. The cost of hiring a EU responsible person to meet compliance, on the low end is around 1000 euros, and on the high end, upwards of 3500 euros per year. Unfortunately, this process is too time consuming and costly as a small business. Starting December 12th, 2024 I will no longer be shipping to the EU.

Even though you will be charged for this project before December 13th, 2024, the items will not ship until 2025. If you are a backer in the European Union or Northern Ireland, I ask that you kindly cancel your pledge.

If you do not cancel your pledge, once it is processed we will refund and cancel your pledge on our end. Having to cancel and refund pledges on our end is complicated, which is why I kindly ask that you cancel your pledge before you are charged.


How to cancel a pledge:

1) Login to your Backerkit account and click your account icon in the top right
2) Navigate to "Your Pledges & Surveys"
3) Look for your Ink & Enamel Fantasy Edition Pledge and click "View Pledge"
4) On the next screen you'll see a red button that says "cancel pledge"

I apologize for this inconvenience and that I was not aware of these regulations earlier. As of right now I will cease shipping to the EU on December 12th, 2024. If you'd like to order any thing from the Etsy shop, now is the time. 

Thank you,
Liz
