If you can even pay. Kickstarter still only allows credit cards as payment options; no one I know actually owns one because they are pretty much useless around here.

Every single Kickstarter I wanted to back I had to beg the people behind them to somehow get a PayPal-option up and running. Sometimes it works, most times not.

To be fair though, import fees are not their problem and there’s not much they can do about that. And shipping towards more remote places is naturally more expensive. As someone who imports regularly, I've come to accept all of this.
