Don’t even bother contacting support The company is extremely unhelpful. Don’t even bother contacting them, as they mark queries and complaints as ‘solved’ without even acknowledging them. I was asking for clarification on something one of their team said, so it’s not like I’m asking them for something they can’t do! And even if I was, a simple email saying ‘sorry, we can’t help with that’ is better than just ignoring me. Makes it even funnier to me that the response to these negative reviews on here, is the company recommending us to use the contact button. If they give the same answer to this it just proves even further the fact that they don’t even bother reading what their users are asking/saying ETA: So look at their response...and guess what happened when I contacted that email? If you said it got marked as 'solved' with nobody contacting me, you get a cookie!

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 Huggable Co" - are con artists Back in 02 June 2022 I contributed towards a campaign for some collapsible travel cups. Since then after many 'so called' delays. There have been perhaps 3 updates, last of which was in October 2023 and yet no cups, no updates and after a few requests, no refund or further update at all. Indiegogo are useless and state that I need to contact the campaign directly. Yet when I contact the "The Huggable Co" (Based in SHEPTON MALLET, United Kingdom) They just ignore all contact.

Terrible policies for preventing scams Disclaimers abound saying they don't facilitate shopping and there are no guarantees you'll get the thing you backed. BUT when someone takes your money then drops out of contact and doesn't give you anything, indiegogo will send them a message asking them to contact you. That's it. They leave the scammers on the website, free to keep taking peoples' money. They could at least shut the listing down. That seems reasonable. Luckily many of the vendors on the site are honest and you get the thing you backed. But when it goes wrong indiegogos policies are absolutely useless.

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.
