Survey Notice, Add Ons, and Pledge charging timeline.

Hey Everyone,

Couple things to go over, so here we go!

Backerkit Surveys

So I've been working with Backerkit to get the surveys as ready as I can. They informed me that it's recommended we setup the survey to go out after the 14 day pledge charging grace period. 

They said we could send them out early, but anyone who had issues with their charges would have to wait the full 14 days. Odd I know, but there it is.

I am still thinking about releasing the survey as quickly as I can to let everyone who can get a chance to order as early as possible. This insures I can get a better idea of how many additional kitties we will need to order quicker rather than later. Helps to make sure we can move forward with production and hopefully get them as close to our estimated delivery date as possible.

Add Ons

As we've mentioned, the accessories and any additional kitties will be add ons via Backerkits survey system. So don't get worried when the kickstarter ends and the surveys haven't shown up yet. They will and you will get your opportunity to get any additional kitties, pins, stickers, and accessories you like!

The Secret Shop though will remain open and available to everyone via this link:

I will add in a Military Kitty mug and shirt for everyone as several folks have asked for them ^_^

If there is something specific you want to have in the secret shop that you don't see, let me know, I'll have some time this week to make some more items for yall. ^_^

Grace Period

So after the Kickstarter ends, everyone will start to see the pledge funds start to be charged. If you are having difficulty with it, or you're waiting for income to come in at a certain date, you have 14 days from the end to insure you can get your pledge processed. So that's nice.

Suppose that's it for now, talk to yall soon!

"Lab Tech" renaming to "Lab Scientist"

So someone brought up today that "Lab Tech" was an outdated term and that Lab Scientist is more appropriate! So from now on the Lab Tech Kitty will be called Lab Scientist Kitty!

That is all.

Any confusion about add ons? Look no further!

Hi Everyone!

Some folks have asked how you deal with the add ons. It's actually really simple this time.

Instead of adding extra funds to your pledge like last time as we ask tons of questions and get mixups alot, we are using Backerkit this time!

Backerkit will send out a survey at the end of the Kickstarter (Or when I can finish the surveys up, might take a couple days so bare with me, but I'm hoping I can finish them today so they are ready when the Kickstarter ends) That survey will contain everything from where to send your kitties, which kitties you want, but it will also include an add on section which is where you can get the accessory kits, kitty masks, Blank Hats, and Headsets. You can also add on additional kitties you want. 

We will have those available for some time and Backerkit will remind you until you do the survey, so it should hopefully reduce the amount of people who lose their survey email.

You'll also be able to update your address once things get closer to delivery date. We will make an announcement on the deadline for updating addresses.

If you have anymore questions please feel free to send a message to us and we will do everything we can to help!
