I did that for a project during Covid. That's one where the external factors we so large I don't blame the creators the the world of shipping changed under their feet. Unfortunately given ongoing geopolitical/economic uncertainties that has a non zero chance of happening again in the next couple years. If you don't have it in you to put up for that then you need to wait for retail.Wise words here.
In my case, I see lots of people jumping ship and getting refunds. I know that I could take that route, but I really don't want to. I want this product desperately, and I don't care how long it takes to arrive.
edit: Mythic had done this in another campaign (not one that I had backed): asking for more money to cover the unexpected rise in shipping costs. That went over as well as you could think. At least for Anastyr, they charged an arm and a leg up front. Also pissing people off.
