Update #5: International shipping

Posted on May 17, 2011

Just as a clarification, if you are an international backer getting a regular Chip Maestro (outside of USA and Canada), please add $8 to the $50 minimum amount of the pledge reward. For example, if you are getting a regular Chip Maestro and want it shipped anywhere in the world, please pledge at least $58. I wrote this in the reward details, but it was a little vague.

Thank you for all your support! Look for an update to the tech docs in the next few days.

      Okay so I'm gonna look really stupid now.. If I go to Manage your Pledge and change to $58, am I paying a further 58 on top of my initial 50?? I know I am probably not but want to be sure as it takes me to an amazon checkout.. please advise..

      Nope, just change it to $58. It's modifying the pledge, not adding on to it. You can also ask any of the backers who are getting it international, but so far, no one has pledged $108 exactly. Thanks for your support :)
