I backed two years ago a KS campaign. I'm not getting anything and their customer support doesn't reply. I'm starting to think that I'll never receive my product. Is it possible/legal?

    2 things j funded via Kickstarter never worked. One gave full refund. The other gave some people a few peices they had made then took the money and ran. Learned my lesson to never back something unless your fine losing your money and never getting anything

    I used to work with some guys who were really into kickstarter. It seemed about 50/50 on if the stuff they funded turned out to be complete vaporware. Some of the stuff they got was pretty cool though. I got the impression that some stuff never shipping is part of the deal with those sites.
