Address Rebsubmission Reminder
about 5 years ago – Thu, Apr 11, 2019 at 01:54:23 AM

Hi Unkindled,

Thank you to everyone that has resubmitted their address so far. We want to take the time to reiterate our request from March 27th for those which are yet to resubmit your addresses.

The time has come for all backers to resubmit their addresses on BackerKit.

To do so, simply log in to your BackerKit account. Upon doing so you’ll see the ‘Shipping’ tab for this project which will need to be filled in. 

If you’re uncertain of how to access your BackerKit account click here and enter the Kickstarter email you used to pledge to this campaign with. You’ll then be sent a link which will grant you access to your BackerKit account. 

All backers have received an email requesting a resubmission of address, this is to ensure all backers are aware of the action required. 

If you need to change the country you reside in please submit an enquiry request by clicking the button at the bottom of this page.

We request that all backers resubmit their addresses by Wednesday April 24th. Please note that there will be a chance to change your address before fulfilment commences. As stated here we need to ensure that all the shipping information we have is as accurate as it can be as early as possible.

All addresses must have been resubmitted by Wednesday June 5th. Failure to do so will result in backers not receiving their rewards.

Hi Unkindled,

This update is extremely important, we request that all backers read it carefully and follow the instructions.

The time has come for all backers to resubmit their addresses on BackerKit.

To do so, simply log in to your BackerKit account. Upon doing so you’ll see the ‘Shipping’ tab for this project which will need to be filled in, then click 'Submit My Address' on the pop up that appears and lastly click 'Place My Order'.

If you’re uncertain of how to access your BackerKit account click here and enter the Kickstarter email you used to pledge to this campaign with. You’ll then be sent a link which will grant you access to your BackerKit account. 

Alongside this update all backers will be receiving an email requesting a resubmission of address, this is to ensure all backers are aware of the action required. These emails will begin being sent shortly after this update has been published. Note that due to the quantity of emails which need to be sent they will be sent in batches, rather than all at once.

All addresses must have been resubmitted by Wednesday June 5th. Failure to do so will result in backers not receiving their rewards.

Address Resubmission Information & Wave 3 Progress Update 3
about 5 years ago – Thu, Mar 14, 2019 at 12:55:37 AM

Hi Unkindled,

Before we jump into the progress on the Wave 3 & 4 content, we’re going to cover what is going to be happening regarding updating addresses.

To start, we want to make it clear that backers don’t need to make any changes to their addresses just yet. We’ve been working with BackerKit to set the system up ready for all the address submissions we’ll be requesting from our backers.

All backers will be required to resubmit their addresses. The reason for this is a simple one, during the fulfilment of Wave 2 there was a higher than expected volume of returns that came back to SFG HQ, the vast majority of which were due to incorrect addresses. With Wave 3 being sent out to all backers, rather than just those which ordered add-on content we need to ensure that all the shipping information we have is as accurate as it can be, as early as possible.

We’re aware that between now and when fulfilment begins backers may well have relocated, and there will be plenty of opportunity to change addresses as we move closer to fulfilment.

Once BackerKit have finished their work on the system side an email will be sent out to all backers requesting them to resubmit their address. We’ll also put out a Kickstarter update reminding backers that the address submission is required, and the date it is required by. We anticipate starting this process by the end of this month, so keep your eye out for updates here and on your inboxes.

Hopefully that clarifies the process behind the updating of addresses, let’s move on to the progress with the stretch goal content. We had some packages arrive at SFG HQ this morning, the contents of which were revised white box samples. One of which included the Phantoms expansion miniatures we’d been waiting for, great news!

Updates to Our Customer Support System

As you may have read here we’ve updated out customer support system. If you have a query for our customer support team, please submit an enquiry request by clicking the button at the bottom of this page.

We understand those that may be frustrated from having not received a resolution from an enquiry that was sent in upwards of a month ago having to resubmit a query. We hear you, but a consistent level of information is the only way we can ensure a higher standard of support can be achieved, and outstanding tickets from the current system simply don’t provide what is required.
