A Note On Unlocks...

Hello everyone!
I'm here with a little housekeeping: PLEASE make sure your pledge charges will go through. While on the surface things look good and unlocked, the truth of the matter is I have hundreds of dollars I lose when it comes time to charge cards because many charges don't go through! I have learned that there are a few people who treat pledging as a sort of bookmark for things they'd like, but don't have the money for now. While I love and appreciate every single backer who pledges, it screws everyone over to do that! I need these funds to come through so everyone can get what they paid for and are expecting!
If I notice any of my backers are serial offenders who pledge only to intentionally have their card decline I will be bringing it to the Backerkit team. I have had this happen with a $1,000 pledge before and that REALLY screwed my campaign over. I just can't afford for multiple large pledges to be counted towards unlocks only to not actually collect those funds. The unlocks are unlocks because I can't afford to manufacture them with just the main goal!
As it stands, I am short over $400 in failed charges, I won't be unlocking the extra pets unless those clear. I will have them in the survey if they are really wanted, but as an add-on goal! I'm sorry for any inconvenience!
Thanks again for your support, everyone!
