Can you make this bag idea?
Maybe someday! If it isn’t in the goals it is beyond the intended scope of this project, but you are welcome to make suggestions. I am always looking to make plush bags that make people happy! Just keep in mind if it is too niche or it has already been done I am unlikely to do it.

Why no pay in 4/pay over time?
Backerkit’s built in pay over time is a huge risk for projects this expensive. When most people think of pay over time they are picturing a service that pays all the money to the seller up front for them with actual consequences for not paying it back. Backerkit’s pay over time is nothing like that. Money is not given to the creator to make sure they have everything needed to get things moving, and there is nothing stopping backers from simply never completing their payments. This can lead to huge delays in fulfillment, failure to receive enough to pay for what is promised, etc. Since Carrion Baggage: Second Bite has a high goal it would be unwise to use it.

Are you shipping to the EU?
Yes! This campaign will be shipping to the EU unlike the previous Carrion Baggage. There was a change in safety laws at the end of 2024 that took us awhile to get all the documentation ready for, but this year we plan to bring all our shipping to the EU back.

How should I wash these bags?
Ideally by hand, with cold water, and using a mild, bleach-free detergent! Most of these bags are sewn around a porous, foam-like material. Try to submerge as little as possible and only scrub the area that needs it (spot cleaning.) My favorite surface cleaner for plush materials is diluted folex.
Let them dry in a place with actively moving air and ideally low humidity. I use floor fans for this purpose, and have them set up in a room with a dehumidifier running. The goal is to prevent moisture from being trapped deep in the foam which could lead to all sorts of problems.

The item I want is not fully prototyped?
Many bags are still in prototyping! This includes Tinned Chow, Sable Chow, the Jurassic bags, and the sardine pencil bag. I select from multiple manufacturers for each bag to get an item as close to the concept art as possible. With that said, there is no way to guarantee a bag will not need some changes to be viable for manufacturing. Unprototyped items also will have an impossible to judge timeline. Refunds will not be given based on wait times or differences from concept art (within reason- if a design must be entirely abandoned it will be refunded.) Please only sign on for one of these items if you’re willing to see the whole process through!
Your order will not be locked until all the items in your cart are fully prototyped, so if you don’t like the end product you’ll have a chance to pick a different design!

What happens with extra funds?
I plan to put EVERYTHING made on the Backerkit in to making plush and plush bags. That means increasing the order size for unlocked designs, developing future campaign bags, and keeping Lairbrew operating. Plush production more expensive than ever and we’re dedicated to doing it right, so it will definitely all be put to good use!

Why are goals so high compared to some other projects?
These bags are BIG, and combine that with my preference for minimal fabric printing and the heavy use of techniques that require additional labor and it adds up to an expensive plush. We’re also dedicated to doing things legally and ethically, which means higher unit costs, fewer price breaks, and expensive safety testing for multiple countries. To top it off, we have to try and predict what shipping costs will look like at least a year in the future. It all adds up fast!

What are your replacement, return, and refund policies for the campaign?
Pledges can be cancelled any time for the duration of the campaign! A pledge is final as soon as the campaign ends, however. 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. 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 a 1:1 swap with you if you’re willing to pay the shipping and there hasn’t been a loss of value to the bag you’re sending back (ex: stains, removed tags, signs of use.) Returns MUST be requested within 24 hours of reception!

What happens if I don't complete my payments?
If you have only paid part of your order by the time fulfillment comes around, 1 of a few things will happen. If you have paid for your items but not your shipping and it has sat unfixed until the end of fulfillment, your pledge fulfillment will be canceled and your processed payments will be treated as generous donations. If you’ve paid for everything but add-ons, the unpaid add-ons will be removed from your order and the paid for items will be shipped. If you have not paid for your pledge but have ordered add-ons and have paid shipping it will be treated the same as unpaid shipping.
I do give a very long grace period- all the way up until the very end of the project’s shipping window.

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.
