The website was easy to use The website was easy to use and the risks of backing a product are well documented. I had seen an article in a Japanese online newspaper regarding a toy but it was only available in Japan. I then came across it on Indiegogo unfortunately it was only available in the USA. It was then made available for delivery to the UK. The toy arrived today just 8 days after I invested in the product all the way from Japan, sent via Japan Post and delivered by Parcelforce even though Indiegogo warned it would not be shipped till their 10 cancelation period had elapsed. I was able to track it at every step of the way.

The worst e-shopping experience I ever had The worst experience I ever had with ‘e-shopping’. I ordered an e-bike, it never came. For weeks I was trying with the customer service. Email after email. At first, I was getting the same automated answers. Covid excuses, supplier problems, they even claimed delays due to the Chinese New Year! Then they completely ignored me. Weeks turned into months. Meanwhile, false updates kept coming up in the site. Hopeless. I was mad, felt my money was lost, but I did not let go. That’s what they want you to do by being so unhelpful. So I also ignored them and made an official compIaint to the bank. After following a certain procedure, the credit card issuer fully refunded me, even after so many months -in the end they acknowledged it was a scam (what served as proof were the actual emails I got from indiegogo customer service!)

You might as well burn your money than… You might as well burn your money than to back anything in Indiegogo, fraudsters! Stick to kickstarter.

Zero Campaigner Assistance Zero Campaigner Assistance, Extremely hard to use Donor Experience Contacted customer service several times, all they would do is parrot back all the things already on the site. All of my donors told me that donating was very difficult particularly from their phones. All they do is provide a platform for you to do all the work and charge hefty fees. Stick with gofundme or venmo.

Tipping Scam I can see that many reviews are about the product and not Indiegogo (which are inccorrect reviews). My review is about Indiegogo. When paying for your product Indiegogo will add a 35 dollar tip on the order. It is visible in your order before you pay, but it is put on silently. so I payed them 35 dollars tip which I never wanted to. They get money from any orders you make already, so the tip is just a scam.
