Backerkit Surveys
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for supporting this project to help Last Chance Corral, and thanks for helping us complete the Backerkit surveys. Here's where we're at so far:
Currently 69% of you have completed the survey - nice! Please make sure to complete the survey as soon as you can if you haven't yet - it helps us out by making sure your address is correct and you also have the options to change your rewards if you choose to make sure you are 100% satisfied ^3^
If you did not receive your emails, please go to https://fursuitfriday.backerkit.com/ and input the email you used to pledge here on Indiegogo. This will find your survey(s) right away.
If you can, please use the "Collapse your pledges together" option so we can ship your items together. To use that option, select "switch to another survey" and then "Want to collapse your pledges together?"
If you need help with your backerkit survey, then please contact us or the backerkit customer service: https://fursuitfriday.backerkit.com/faq#contact-us
Updates about Production
We are working our hardest to try to get the items to everyone in July as we put on the campaign - we have had a few setbacks, including Indiegogo releasing the funds a lot later than they said they would. Fortunately, the process of the calendar and stretch goal items is coming along, with the files in production at the printers - there's the most recent information we have:
(Item 1 is poster 1, Item 2 is poster 2, and item 3 is the calendar)

Hi everyone! Thank you for your patience as we figured out verification steps and such - the Backerkit surveys have now been sent out to all of you. You should receive an email in your inbox that allows you to choose various things about your items, like shirt size or dog tag type.
For those of you with multiple pledges, please use the "Collapse your pledges together" option so we can ship your items together. To use that option, select "switch to another survey" and then "Want to collapse your pledges together?"
There is also an option to add additional items to your order if you like.
Our plan is to finalize the backerkit surveys in one week, so please head to your email inbox and get them filled in. If you don't see it, please make sure to check spam folders.
If you have a backerkit specific question, feel free to contact their super helpful customer service at: https://fursuitfriday.backerkit.com/faq#contact-us
Thank you so much for your awesome support!

Hello everyone! We have great news to report to you today - Despite it taking quite a long while, Indiegogo finally released the funds so we can start fulfilling orders.
We have been getting some questions about Backerkit - Let us summarize:
1. Everyone will be receiving an email on or around July 3 with the Backerkit survey. The survey is primarily just to confirm your order (if you need to change your shipping address for example).
2. Everyone who purchased a calendar or signed calendar will receive the bonus items that were unlocked with the stretch goals. If this is part of your reward, you get to pick the dog tag design that you would prefer.
3. Those who only purchased a shirt or set of 5 dog tags do not automatically receive the stretch goal items, however, you have the option to add that to your order if you wish (listed as "Bag of Goodies" on Backerkit). Also an option if you want a second set of the items.
4. Backerkit has a number of other features that will be super helpful to everyone, including automatically sending you tracking information for your package, and allowing you to check the location of your package whenever you wish.
Have more questions? Please take a look at the Backerkit FAQ here: https://fursuitfriday.backerkit.com/faq#backerkit-faq
And feel free to contact us on the #crowdfunding-discussion chat on Discord: https://discord.me/AwooNews
Schedule:
Since it took Indiegogo about a week longer to release the funds than they originally said, that pushes back our schedule for printing, preparing and shipping by about a week. We still expect that just about everyone will receive their rewards in July, however, for those living in very far away countries from the US (Russia and Australia for example), it may be August before the rewards get to you. We will continue to keep you updated as the process moves forward.
Thank you again for all your amazing support for this project - you're awesome!

For those of you interested in adding to or changing your pledge for the charity calendar - we hear you! Check out this feature on @BackerKit - You have "credit" that you pledged, and can change or add items to your hearts content.
Indiegogo has a 15 day verification period for funds, and on the 15th day (lol) they sent us an email that they need further verification. We hope that they will take care of it quickly - as soon as Indiegogo releases the funds, we will be sending the Backerkit email surveys to all of you. In particular, each of you who pledged for a calendar receives the "Bag of Goodies" with all the stretch goal rewards, and you get to pick which of the dog tag designs you would like. There is a question in the survey for calendar and signed calendar backers for you to be able to choose the dog tag design you prefer.
For those of you interested in getting the stretch goal items who bought solely a shirt or dog tag bundle, you will have the option (as shown above) to add the "Bag of Goodies" add-on. This contains all of the stretch goal items, which are:
- 2 furry art posters
- 1 dog tag of your choice
(Dog Tag Options: Telephone, Majira Strawberry, Rika/Vixndwnq, Kiwi Fox, Pineapple Fox)
- 1 furry door hanger
- 2 furry art postcards
- 8 furry stickers, including:
- Telephone sticker
- Majira Strawberry sticker
- Rika/Vixndwnq sticker
- Kiwi Fox sticker
- Pineapple Fox sticker
- Plus 3 more furry stickers!
Or, heck, if you just want a second bundle of all these awesome items, you can add that to your order. Up to you when you get the Backerkit survey!
Thank you very much for all your amazing support, and we look forward to sending all of you your rewards. Have an awesome day!

Hi there! This is Team ArtworkTee, and we hope you've been having a wonderful week. Have some updates!
1. We are choosing a few donators to thank in shoutout videos on Twitter - if you would like to be one of those thanked, please comment your preferred name or username and (optional) a photo on this thread: https://twitter.com/artworktee/status/1120779847322742785
2. Update on our #FursuitFriday shirt design - We have updated our design to be able to print it via a 6 color screen print. We had originally planned to use Direct to Garment printing (the type of printing used to make the samples we sent out to the furry peeps), but fortunately we have enough orders to be able to do screen printing in bulk. This will save a good amount of money so we can donate more to the charity, and also, screen printed shirts last much longer in the wash - so a great outcome for everyone. Here is the updated design:
3. Funding - According to Indiegogo, they say they will be able to send us the funds raised on "week of Jun 14" - our hope is that that's sooner rather than later, but we'll see. When the funds come in, we will be sending allocated funds to the charity and also purchasing the calendars through Uprinting. Their lead time on orders is 6 days. By our reckoning, that means we should be able to start mailing out calendars in about 2 weeks, assuming all goes well.
4. Backerkit - We are taking time to set up Backerkit correctly with all the different items and options for shipping, etc. That will be ready soon and offer a ton of great options for you guys. Backerkit recommends that we send out the backer survey after the funds come in, so we'll get that ready and send it out in about a week. This is the form you'll use if you would like to change your order, pick the type of dog tag reward (for calendar buyers), and other helpful stuff.
5. Discord - You can contact the team anytime on Discord by visiting the following link and asking a question in the #crowdfunding-discussion room: https://discord.gg/MbrVjrt
Thanks again for your generous donations, and don't forget to share the campaign with your friends! https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/fursuitfriday-charity-calendar#/
