I don't think it is a good idea that the backers are only charged when the product is ready to ship. After all, this is all about getting the resources so that you are able to ship. When the backers don't pay upfront, you don't have those resources. So to me it seems you are looking at Kickstarter as a distribution channel, not as a funding opportunity.
