FAQ: Fancier's Guide to Cockatrices
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Backerkit Crowdfunding!

Are these shipping to the EU?

Yes! We’re working on bringing back all our EU shipping over 2026, and these pins are part of that.

Do you plan to add more goals?

No, sorry. A Fancier’s Guide to Cockatrices is meant to be a lower stakes project, and every design is technically another potential point of failure, so we’re keeping it to these dozen + the two possible plush.

What is your pin grading process?

I do a basic pass/fail. Passing pins may have very minor imperfections. Remember that these are hand made goods! I keep that in mind while grading so I am not hyper-picky. These passing pins are A-Grade and will be used to fulfill the Backerkit!

Noticeable flaws (like small bubbles, scratches, bad screen printing, etc) will be put in to a b-grade pile and eventually sold at a discount. If something is so bad I would not want to sell it as a b-grade it will be offered as a misfit craft material for someone to mess around with at best or tossed at worse.

What rewards are campaign exclusive?

At this time there are no truly campaign exclusive items. Getting anything manufactured or printed requires certain minimums to be met, and more than what was ordered needs to be acquired to account for damaged items, which means I’ll be left with a lot of inventory taking up valuable room that I can’t sell because of exclusive promises. Throwing it out would be super wasteful, and giving it away can upset backers who paid if they were promised it is exclusive. That said, the majority of these items will not be made again if at all once they sell out, so getting them during the campaign is still your best bet to not miss out!

Could you make this cockatrice combination?

Maybe someday! You are welcome to make suggestions. I am always looking to make things that make people happy! I will be listening closely to comments with suggestions for new pin sets. Seeing enthusiasm for certain suggestions lets me know what the community wants, and I want to provide for all of you! They would not be a part of this campaign, but I might revisit this very lightly developed setting with more seriousness in the future.

What are your return, replacement, and refund policies for this campaign?

Pledges can be cancelled any time for the duration of the campaign! A pledge is final as soon as the campaign ends and your card is successfully charged, however. Processed order cancellations are not accepted, and I won’t issue refunds for things outside of my control (ex: your financial situation changing before fulfillment starts, impatience with provided fulfillment timeline within reason, etc.) The money you give me is going to be spent to make this project happen, not held on to, which is what crowdfunding is for!

If there is a problem that I am at fault for, such as goods arriving damaged due to poor packaging or the wrong items being sent, I will replace the item at my expense. I will only ever insist on refunding you over replacement if I would be losing a serious amount of money on paying the shipping or there is no inventory to do a replacement with. I want people to get their items and be happy with what they receive!

I do often replace missing mail if I’m able to despite that being outside my control, but please know that is a courtesy that I might be unable to offer due to limited stock and expense. It isn’t my fault if a package goes missing once it has left my care. If you’re concerned about this and want some sort of guarantee I suggest spending extra on shipping with insurance.

Returns are accepted at backer expense for 1 to 1 exchanges. I’m willing to make that swap with you if you’re willing to pay the shipping and there hasn’t been a loss of value to the pins you’re sending back (ex: scratches, mess, missing backings, broken posts.) Returns MUST be requested within 24 hours of reception. Retain your pin’s original packaging and do not open it. Returns of pins missing their clasps or with damage from handling will not be accepted.

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.
