C.H.I.P.’s INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING is now up to 44% cheaper!!!
We looked into it (extensively) and are super happy to announce major reductions to international shipping costs. It’s taken three weeks of hard work and countless import forms, but we have finally found logistics agents who can mix and match distribution centers and freight forwarders!

We will be shipping by many different methods and colors.
This means we’ll be setting up distribution centers in, or near, the countries and zones with the most C.H.I.P. backers. That way we can reduce to-your-door shipping costs for light packages under 500g (1lb).
“But @nextthing, what does this mean for me?” For about 3/4 of our backers, that means the same plan as before — shipping into OAK or LAX and distributing domestically via USPS. For backers in Canada, the UK, EU, Australia, and Japan, however, this means we are reducing shipping costs by 20% to 44%!(!!)

Kickstarter doesn’t have a way for us to refund back the difference in updated shipping costs for existing pledges, so we’re providing two options:
- A fresh pledge reward tier for 5,000 C.H.I.P.s shipping in March with the new reduced shipping costs. To join this new tier, please click *MANAGE MY PLEDGE* on the campaign page and select the March C.H.I.P. tier.
- Special treats and accessories only available via BACKERKIT post-campaign for backers who wind up with a little extra left on their pledge.
To be clear, this means all backers will get follow-up messages fromBACKERKIT after the campaign ends, and will have the opportunity to add on (or purchase separately) extras and accessories at that point. Remember: we’ll have those fun extras and surprises in BACKERKIT available for ALL our backers… so stay tuned to find out more!
