Default International Kickstarter Fulfillment and Munchkin

Is this going to be delivered to backers before retail, this time?

Sorry, to be still picking on that topic but I'm still annoyed...

I assume you are outside of the United States, yes?

International fulfillment is a nightmare. Expensive. Complicated. A total headache for everyone involved.

speaking for my side: even with shipping cost included the Unicorn-KS was quite generous for the backers; I'd rather paid 10$ more for an earlier delivery.
I assume there's not a possibility to offer different pledges for quicker and more expensive delivery?

Nevertheless, I guess I'll give it a shot and back this one^^

We are finding that no matter what we do, international Kickstarter fulfillment costs us money and is a nightmare. The ONLY way it would be worth the effort would be:

* Customs charges are the backer's responsibility.
* We at least double what we charge for shipping.
* The backers understand that it will be weeks -- possibly months -- before receiving goods.
* Distribution release WILL be in stores before Kickstarter rewards are received.

We cannot stress enough how complicated, expensive, and frustrating the international fulfillment is for Kickstarter campaigns.

It is not a cheap or easy process.
