From Locked Survey to Delivered Reward
Three steps, and the first one starts long before your production run lands.
Map the Tiers and Add-Ons
Every reward tier is a combination of physical items. We turn each one into a pick list built from component SKUs, so a tier with six things in it is six tracked units, not a guess.
Receive the Production Run
Your manufacturing run usually arrives as a container or pallet freight. It comes into Madison, AL on a scheduled dock appointment, is counted in, and every SKU gets its own location.
Ship the Wave
Once addresses are locked, we pick and pack the whole backer list, rate every parcel across carriers, and send tracking back so backers get notified rather than emailing you.
What a Backer Ship-Out Needs
Tiers Built From Component SKUs
Each reward level is assembled from its parts and tracked at the component level, so you know exactly how many of each item a tier consumed and what is left.
Capacity for One Enormous Day
A backer ship-out is a year of orders in a week. A staffed warehouse absorbs that without hiring temps or renting a room to pack in.
International Backers Handled
Crowdfunding is global. We ship worldwide once each SKU carries an HS code, country of origin, and declared value, and international returns come back to us.
Accuracy Across Combinations
With dozens of tier and add-on permutations, wrong parcels are the default failure. Picking at 99.9% accuracy is what keeps the comments section quiet.
Container Receiving Included
Production runs arrive from overseas manufacturers. A dedicated receiving team handles containers rather than fitting them between parcel waves.
No Minimum to Get Started
No setup fee, no integration fee, and no minimum contract, which matters when your volume is one huge wave and then a long tail.
Why Creators Bring Fulfyld In Before the Ship Date
BackerKit handles pledges, surveys, and add-ons, and points creators at fulfillment partners for the physical side. This is what ours looks like.
- 99.9% pick accuracy and 99.2% on-time delivery on mapped ship methods.
- Kitting from component SKUs, which is exactly how reward tiers and add-ons behave.
- Free standard packaging materials, so a few thousand parcels do not turn into a separate purchase.
- Container and LTL receiving on scheduled appointments with a dedicated team.
- A named account manager and 24/7 human support through the ship-out window.
Everything ships from one warehouse in Madison, Alabama, running on Shipedge.
Where Crowdfunding Delivery Goes Wrong
Four failures that turn a funded campaign into a reputation problem.
Tiers assembled by hand, at volume
Packing two thousand boxes of varying contents in a garage is where accuracy collapses. Building tiers from defined component lists at a pick station is the difference between a smooth wave and a month of corrections.
The production run landing badly
A container that arrives uncounted becomes a shortfall discovered mid-ship-out, when there is no time to fix it. Counting in at the dock means any shortage is known before backers are waiting.
Overseas backers left until last
International parcels need customs data per item, and gathering it late holds up a chunk of your list. HS codes and origin data held per SKU mean those ship in the same wave as everyone else.
No plan for the long tail
After the wave come replacements, late surveys, and the store you open with leftover stock. That volume is small and constant, and month-to-month billing with no minimum is what makes it affordable to keep serving.
After the Ship-Out
Leftovers become a store
Whatever is still on the shelf when the wave clears can serve a shop or a marketplace, which is how most campaigns turn into a continuing business.

Damaged items and short shipments go out as individual replacements, and anything sent back is inspected and put away against your rule.

Backers who answer weeks after the wave still ship from the same stock, without a second setup or a separate arrangement.

Overseas rewards move once each item carries an HS code, country of origin, and declared value, so they leave in the same wave as everyone else.
