SHIPPING...c'mon what's the deal?

Okay, so here’s the deal…I simply cannot control the shipping rates. Transparency is SUPER IMPORTANT to me as a creator as it is to you as a backer.

The breakdown for shipping is something that I really wish I could help you out on and since I can’t…I’ve helped off set best I could with the cost of the decks. In my 7 years of shipping decks of playing cards, I can pretty much tell you that 99% of the decks will be shipped via the United States Postal Service. I poorly underestimated international shipping costs in my previous campaigns which took quite a financial hit. For this reason and for this campaign, I’ve calculated rates with the USPS for shipments of the decks in each reward tier (weight and size factored into it).

People think I’m trying to make and extra buck on shipping…truth is…I don’t (sometimes with International shipping, I take a loss). Since 2013 I’ve charged only the actual shipping rates on shipping playing cards all over the world. I don’t charge handling fee’s or materials costs….sometimes I even take a hit. Currently I plan on personally shipping all these decks out myself to avoid a higher shipping cost to you (by using a fulfillment company). 1-3 Decks are always secured in individual bubble wrap sleeves, placed in Indestructo boxes then placed in bubble wrap envelopes for shipping. 6-12 decks are wrapped in bubble wrap, placed in cardboard boxes & cushioned with paper.

Here is the actual breakdown of USPS Shipping Rates for each reward tier….please note that 2-6 decks cost nearly the same to ship out internationally via USPS First Class…this is set by the weight.

Please let me know if you can find a better rate to your address, just message me a screenshot and I’ll verify on my end. If indeed there is a better rate, I’ll refund you the difference. I’m simply not in the shipping for profit business…I just want you to have a great deck of cards.

BackerKit FAQ

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.
