With regards to your MEATER Block order, we’re still validating the new MEATER Block hardware, as we had to redesign and upgrade the components in order to improve the wireless range, but we hope to finalize the design soon.

Until everything is finalized, we cannot provide a definitive ship date, but we estimate that shipping will begin early in Q4. We have already purchased all the long lead time parts, so we can move quickly into the production phase as soon as we give the new design the thumbs up.

WHEN CAN I PURCHASE A MEATER?

RESPONSE:

Thanks so much for taking an interest in MEATER! We’re currently ramping up production, and are almost finished fulfilling single MEATER pre-orders placed by our Kickstarter backers.

If you want to get your hands on the device as soon as possible, we strongly suggest that you pre-order your MEATER, so that your spot will be saved in the queue once shipping begins. You can place your pre-order on our website (https://meater.com/shop/) and orders are 100% refundable up until they are shipped.

In the meantime, you can keep up to date with our progress by subscribing to our newsletter (there’s a link to do so at the bottom of our website, meater.com).

Thanks again for your interest. Stay cool and don’t hesitate to contact us at any time!

BackerKit FAQ

What 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.
