Kickstarter Shipping and handling

In XCC, you're a superstar athlete taking your chances in a live-on-pay-per-view death sport. It’s a modern-day world with a fantasy twist, and the game is simple: the Dungeon Judge, or DJ, creates an artificial dungeon under controlled — but lethal — conditions. Can you survive?

Kickstarter Shipping and handling

Post by Raptor »

On the kickstarter page for Xcrawl it say shipping and handling for the books will be separate from the kickstarter payment. Anyone know how shipping payments are going to be handled?

When it comes close to shipping, we will send you a Paypal invoice (based on your actual order and address). Hope that explains -- let me know if you need anything else.

Rhetorical question (but answer if it suits you, please):

Once there are enough GG Kickstarters to go by, do you think you might fold the shipping into the pledge levels? It would help in the "actually knowing how much I'm spending before I spend it" department.

In either case, carry on.... Very much looking forward to the Purple Planet. :D

Yes I would like to figure out a way to do so, too. So far the KS's we have run have had lots of stretch goals which makes it hard to predict. And the international shipping can be very volatile. (Go over a certain weight by 1 ounce and the shipping cost can go up by $20!) but I would like to figure out a way. It would've easier on us too!

Many kickstarters are doing the separate shipping thing. Adding the shipping increases any stretch goals (so costs go up), kickstarter takes a chunk (so they lose some of the $$ charged for shipping). Separate shipping makes sense from a business standpoint.

I appreciate the reply -- and I hear you on the international thing! I've been selling a lot of stuff through eBay, and the international shipping has some odd swings in it...

Maybe the trick is to print each successive stretch goal on thinner and thinner paper...? :wink:
