It's probably way too late, but in 2016 I backed about $100 USD for a project. I never heard anything more about it nor did I get my reward for it. I don't pledge too often, so I forgot about it. I happened to be on Kickstarter today looking for the status of another project and I saw this one. It seems that it was successful. I am not sure of the course of action other than contacting the company that started the project. Any suggestions? |

Did you get the e-mail notifications that the campaign was successful, and your card would be charged? Was your card in fact charged? I have pledged quite a few and always get e-mails whether the project is successful or not. If they took your money and are still in business, I would try and contact them with verification that you pledged and were charged but never got the product. Given the amount of time that has passed that is about all you can do. And make sure you are getting notifications from KS for future pledges! |

Contact the company. If you have any emails about shipping verification or your pledge you'll need that. |

I have had at least two or three people in each of my kickstarters who despite repeated emails and KS messages, never respond back or pay their shipping fees. Thus, they never got their stuff. I'd say contact the company and make sure you have gotten them all the information they need.

Ok according to Kickstarter pledges not guaranteed so they will not help you at all. I have done 218 Kickstarter's the 1st 12/2011 The first one to not send anything was Super fogey adventures 3/2013 Paul Lidberg Team Frog studios, never responded to the backers. I have heard that he has since died so there is that.
2) The world of steam movie got a few things but the whole thing promised 2013
3) Zombie stomp game, again Paul Lidberg Team frog studios (go figure once a thief always a thief.. 2013
4)legends of the fabled realms. Cad Jeal 9/2018
5) and 6) Black hollow towns folk 1 and 2 John Stynes another 2 time theif 3/2019 12 2019. just fell off the face of the map
7)Studio X paint case, Mini master werks 3/2021 John and sissy took the money and ran. no contact to the bakers
8) Lens cleaning station by lens cleaners. 2021 took the money and never looked back
Most of what I got I have been happy with and those I am not happy with, well at least I got them. But these guys are thieve |

Ditto what David / Splintered Light said. I got taken by the Studio X paint case mentioned above.
Also got taken by the VinylSonic record player and cleaner Kickstarter. |

All good examples of why you shouldn't pay up front for something that doesn't exist yet. Live and learn. |

I got burnt once. After that, I only back Kickstarters from companies I know. If a product is that nice, I'll wait for it to come to retail. If it doesn't, then I'm not out anything. |
