By the way, I'm sure I could research it and find out but, how does this kickstarter pledge thing work? Of course, they won't collect all two hundred grand in pledges, but say you pledge fifty bucks. When and how do they collect? At the end of the pledge deadline do they then solicit payments based on pledges?
When they reach their goal, in this case they already have, they take their payment. I'm setup to do payments through Amazon on Kickstarter. There may be other options. So in this case if you pledge for the bell, they will likely take your payment immediately because it is fully funded.
Then they will have a goal delivery date. Since most people haven't a clue about new product development, they will miss that date. A good person will inform you about the delay before the delay actually occurs.
Then, in theory, your item comes in the mail. I have pledged for the Orp bike horn and a stainless multi-tool.
I hope the bell does well. I like the design.
