Reservations
How does a reservation work?
If you purchased a pre-launch reservation, check your email for your link to your secret rewards. If you cannot find the link, feel free to send us an email.
Will I be automatically charged for the cost of the pen later if I reserve?
No, you will not be charged automatically after launch. Your reservation is a one-time purchase that ensures you will have access to the exclusive benefits. After launch, you will have the chance to decide if you purchase the A/B Pen or not.
How do I pick the color I want?
You will pick the color in a post-campaign survey, not at reservation.
Do I need more than one reservation?
No, you only need one reservation to ensure you get your exclusive benefits. The benefits will apply to all the A/B Pens you purchase at launch.
Is the reservation refundable?
Reservations have been refundable up until launch. Now that the project is live, we will not offer refunds on the $3 pre-launch reservation.
How long is the reservation valid?
The reservation is valid for any orders placed during our 30-day campaign. The reservation is only valid for orders placed during this initial launch campaign.
What address should I use for the reservation?
Use your billing address as this is just an address for the reservation. The actual shipping address where we will send your pen will be submitted when purchasing during the campaign.
Will there be international shipping?
Yes, the A/B Pen will be available internationally, shipping from Germany. Shipping rates will be calculated when placing your order on Kickstarter.
Launch
When does the A/B Pen launch?
The A/B Pen launched on April 15th, 2025, and is currently live on Kickstarter.
When do I get my A/B Pen?
A/B Pens will be shipped approximately 3 months after the campaign ends. In this time, we will have our manufacturers mass produce the metal parts for the A/B Pen, order the magnets and ink refills, assemble the pens, and prepare them for shipping. Reservation holders will receive the first batch as part of the exclusive benefits included in the reservation.
