Does the shipping cost to countries in the European Union include VAT?
Our two main games, “Core Worlds: Empires” and “Core Worlds: Nemesis,” as well as the “Dungeon Adventure Packs” Add-on, will ship from Germany to our European backers and should therefore cover your local taxes and fees in the European Union.
All other Add-ons ship only from the US, so they will incur extra shipping charges, as well as local taxes and fees, if they are ordered from European backers both inside and outside of the European Union.

If I live in the UK or another European country, can I choose to have everything, including the main packages and Add-ons, shipped from the US to avoid paying two separate shipping fees?
Yes, in this case please pledge the normal amount for now, and then contact us here on KS or by email at [email protected] when you fill out the Pledge Manager so we can work out the details and so you can receive a refund for the extra shipping costs.
Of course, please keep in mind that you will have to pay your local taxes and fees on everything shipped from the US.

Last Updated At: 03/01/21What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
