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.

Good comments are paid employees, bad are scamed customers. SCAM, AVOID them This company is a SCAM. I hope for you that you come here before creating a profile or buying anything. If you did, cancel and request a refund as soon as possible. I have spent 1K+ on a product, received updates as "copy pasted" and nothing ever happened. Indiegogo marketed the product heavily and the campain raised 3M+. They left with the money, and did not respected the terms and condition of Indiegogo. The company did nothing, and is just saying the usual "we were a yougn company, we are still learning..It is not our responsability" that they will probably post below here. AVOID or loose the money you send, up to you

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.

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.

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!)
