Risks and challenges
This is our first Kickstarter campaign and we have to learn a lot from this project and the challenges that will come with it. With that in mind, this project has a long runway for fulfillment. This is so that we can create realistic expectations around nailing our timeline. Nobody likes delays, and we’re doing everything we can to deliver on an achievable and responsible schedule.
That said, with a new production partner, we may still have some learning curves ahead of us but our team will be here to communicate along the way.
Another risk we are taking on is offering our campaign to anyone in the world – why is that a risk? Because shipping logistics can get really, really complicated, and very very expensive. We want anyone who wants to have the opportunity to be a backer, and we are doing everything we can to be very upfront about what it takes to get you your Luminiser. We can assure you that we are not making any money on our international shipping fees, only covering a portion of the full charges.
