Kickstarter FAQs


When will I receive my survey?

I send out surveys over the days and weeks immediately following a successful campaign, based on your backer level. Be sure to whitelist info@cmritter.com in your email client so you don't miss your survey email! 


How do Add-ons work?

You will be able to add-on to your order during your survey and will still receive a one-time 20% off add-on discount as an extra thank you for being a Kickstarter backer.  


Will orders ship together? 

Yes. I don’t split orders for partial shipments. I understand that is a normal thing as people are accustomed to Amazon. Unlike Amazon though, I am quite, quite small and just don't have that ability yet. So when one product is on pre-order it delays the whole order. The other option is to place a separate order for anything that is in stock so I can ship it to you faster.


Under special circumstances, can I receive my order before everyone else? 

No. In order to be fair to everyone, I ship based on backer levels, and the order that pledges were received.


Can I get more than one reward?

Unfortunately, there is not an option for me to allow backers to buy more than one backer level. However, on the Kickstarter page I will show a list of the available add-ons at 20% add-on discounts. Select what you want, get out a calculator, and add up how much they cost. Then when you select your pledge level, add this dollar amount to your pledge. Once the campaign is over I will send out a survey link where you can pick colors, materials, and sizes (if applicable) for your entire order.  

Please note, with add-ons you will select these products after the campaign is over. For now, just add the “add-on dollars” that represent what you will select after the campaign. Don’t worry if you get this wrong, I can help you after the campaign. 


When do I choose my options and provide a shipping address?

A: If the Kickstarter campaign is successful, when it is over I will send out a survey, at which point you can pick all of the details for your pledge and add-ons, including color, material, and size, etc. You will also provide shipping information at this point. 


Are international taxes included?

No. Kickstarter makes it very hard to calculate taxes accurately as I have to know the actual shipping address and contents of what you order. Once the campaign is over, I’ll send you a link to complete your order at which point taxes will be calculated and charged based on your selected shipping address and the local tax rates.

* You are REQUIRED to pay taxes, or I won’t be able to ship the order. Instead, I’ll provide you with a refund.

Can I expedite my shipping?

Yes. After the campaign, when completing the survey, you will be able to upgrade and pay for faster shipping.

* Keep in mind, this does NOT mean your gear ships earlier.

I ship in the order that pledges were made. In this case, “expedite” just means that when your gear is ready to ship, I will ship it faster. 

I have the following shipping options available. 

UNITED STATES:

Next business day. 
Two business days. 
3-5 business days. 
7-10 business days. 

CANADA:

3-5 business days 
7-10 business days 

INTERNATIONAL:

3-5 business days. 
7-10 business days. 


Can I pick up my order at the CMRitter Art Studio?

I’m sorry, but I can’t enable direct pickup. As of the time of writing this FAQ, 1/27/2020, CMRitter Studio is currently un-open to the public.
