What will shipping cost?
It will depend on the item and the location to be shipped to. We want to be accurate with our shipping estimates and not overcharge anyone, so we will post an update soon. For example, a t-shirt shipped to the continental US will cost around $8 in shipping.

Can you provide some more ballpark shipping estimates?
Sure thing! Shipping costs will be based on package weight and your location. See below for some examples of current rates:
US BACKERS:
We plan to ship with USPS. We may combine some items and ship others separately for maximum efficiency and minimal cost/waste. Some current rates:
$4-$7 Media Mail rate up to 5 lbs (records and cassettes only)
$5-$8 Up to 1 lb
$8-$11 1-5 lbs
$9 small Priority Mail flat rate box
$16 medium Priority Mail flat rate box
$21 large Priority Mail flat rate box
INTERNATIONAL BACKERS: We plan to ship with either USPS or FedEx, depending on what’s cheaper for your package. We expect we’ll combine all of your items into one package since the cost tends to be the same below a certain weight. Some current approximate rates for Europe/UK/Australia (Canada would be a bit less):
$20 up to half a pound (USPS) $40 up to 2 pounds (USPS) $45 up to 6 pounds (FedEx)

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
