Review Time
I have now 6 backed projects in 2025 (4 HKD & 2 USD) that looks like is clearly fraud/scam. The only projects that wasn't fraud was respectable companies with existing products for sale on internet. Will never back any new projects, unless they have already previously successfully launched products.
This has become a scammers platform, KS facilitates and protects scammers because they get a fee.They do not protect us backers at all, do not react to complaints, only comp. generated standard answers in which they decline responsibility. I now only use KS to look for ideas and most of the time I find simular products already exist online and are direct available and often for cheaper price without any risk
Kickstarter doesn't even follow their own rules and as soon as they get paid, they will let you down. I backed a Bertello pizza oven, took almost 8 months before the delivery starts but many kickstarter backers didn't receive their oven, while the company is saling their product on-line with delivery a few weeks after. I have been waiting a year to receive mine and still to this date, nothing. I contacted kickstarter as they have a nice menu to report project and, one of them is I didn't receive my order but the product was made available online for all the other customers. Kickstarter did nothing and I won't be backing up any more project moving forward.
I have backed over 70 products and in the early days all was ok but recently the site has become inundated with scams and creators that have no intention of fulfilling their pledges or intend on making money from backers through extortionate shipping costs.Just a few of the scams I have been subjected to so far on Kickstarter.Wokpad - no updates since the product ended. A blatant scam.CyperPro - ran with the funds after the campaign closed. Silence since thenRocker 2.0 - scammed everyone of extortionate shipping costs.Wecomfy - no contact since the campaign closed.Gripsner - no contact since the campaign closed.Jumpac - scammed by asking for the pledges value in shipping costs. Refuses to refund or acknowledge these costs.Smarmat - radio silence the moment the campaign ended.Maskmixer MM1 - radio silence the moment the campaign ended.Tiki Tag - creator ran off with the funds.Lovorok - failed to deliver everything people pledged for despite selling these on Amazon.Easymax - an overpriced alarm clock that does nothing it was promised.There may be a few more in the pipeline. I have given up with this site as they do nothing to protect backers at all.
I backed many project over the years, but I'm considering leaving Kickstarter. Scams are increasing and we backers have 0 support!! 2 weaks ago I tried to stop a creator to launch a new project because my reward of the previous one was never sent - emailed Kickstarter several times about the matter and they let her launch and finnish the project without interfiering ... so upsetting!
I provided an address to kickstarter to ship my reward, but they said my shipping address was invalid ( I receive 5-6 packages a week at that address}. So now I don't know if they will ship to me. have email 5 times asking for help, but I never get an answer. I may try canceling charges on my card.
Kickstarter was intended so people could back projects and not as a pre-order platform now kick starter has started charging taxes on these investments that people are making on projects that they hope succeed or create something with the amount of failed projects where the creators just take the money and run it seems highly illegal for Kickstarter to tax the investors considering when you pre-order items you don't pay taxes or even full price till the day they ship or you pick up the item.. and for all the failed projects Kickstarter does nothing to try and get the backers their money back
So dont use kickstarters. Or should I say kick busters! So I found angry birds book when I went to these reviews. SO theres 19000000% bad stars. Whatever you do. Don't use kick starters ever! They are evil demons waiting to rob you. And you dont get anything. They take the money and walk away! Good thing i didn't buy the angry birds book. This website should be sued and banned forever! This creators are robbers and are scammers. All of you. We shall sue this website until this kickscammers get banned for good. (And maybe be gone forever)
Unfortunately Kickstarter are the biggest cowboys of them all on their own platform. They’re clearly aiding in people being robbed of their hard earned cash by happily taking their commission or for all we know, the entire pot. I am still receiving scam emails to update and pay my postage. Which I did do and successfully claimed back via my bank.
