Didn't receive a thing... Not happy.
Creator Kendrick Chee on April 10
Still have not received anything. Not even an invoice or a confirmation that the soundbenders were sent. Disappointing mate, just took our cash and ignored us. good job moshe. good job.
Creator Guilherme Ceschiatti Barbosa Moreira on March 11
Did not receive the product.
Creator Chuanwei Huang on March 1
At least you have to show me the mail recept to prove that you sent to me?
I backed 5 projects here, I received 4 but yours.
International mail is a mess? Is it a reason and solution after all?????
Creator Patricia Junqueira Araujo on February 20
Hello, i didn't get my sounderBender, what is going in?
Creator Chuanwei Huang on February 3
I just looked other comments, and oh my god, so many complaints about not receiving. Why would you blame it on international mails. I have supported many other projects and I received all of them via International mails.
I paid $80 and get nothing. IF YOU spend $80 for nothing in a store, what would you do? Just walk away and think the store owner must have a reason not giving you anything? Tell me what you would do and I will do the same.
Creator Chuanwei Huang on February 3
I have not received your product and you are not returning my email.
I would like a refund and please let me know how to do it.
Creator Yoshiko KANAI on February 2
I emailed many times to this creator.
But I still have not received the SoundBender.
How long should I Wait ?
Creator Vickram on February 1
There was a project from middle east, that I wanted but decided not to back, as I figured, if international shipments are hard from the US, guess the trouble that project creators will go through to ship out from their country. And I was right - the amount of abuse they are taking from the backers now, is sad.
That said, I just saw your 'Shark Tank' episode, Moshe. I am happy about the result and wish you all the best! I did get my soundbenders early, but can see how the package could be 'lost', not just in other places, but US also.
Creator Sandra on January 31
You're not the only one Roberto. Never received anything either. Honestly, I gave up on this project.
Creator Roberto on January 31
Congratulations to you who have received, I still do not get anything. For me this seller is not serious, I do not know him can advertise your product is for sale, if he even deliver to all who supported the project.
Creator Nicolas Himbert on January 28
Receivded mine today, quality product are great. Thanks to have resend my product !!! I will test it with more pleasure !
Creator Francesca Pons on January 28
Received my soundbender. Guilherme, I recommend you to send another email to Moshe with your addresse and pledge.
The soundbender are fine but the service don't. I'm sorry but I will never buy anything else to this creator.
Creator Guilherme Ceschiatti Barbosa Moreira on January 28
Did not receive my SoundBender yet.
Creator David Luk on January 20
Hi everyone, just give everyone an update on my adventure. I have received my sound benders last week and it is great. Suggest that you should send another email to Moshe and I am pretty it will be sorted eventually. Thanks

Hi Moshe,
I came on to your profile to see if you had any new endeavors and then I saw the comments. It is terrible you have to go through all that stress and verbal harassment.
I want you to know how much I've been enjoying my SoundBenders!! I use mine every single day (M-F) on my lunch at work and a few of my co-workers are jealous.
It sucks you've had such a bad experience with international shipping but just know, there's still love from other international buyers like us.

Creator Nicolas Himbert on January 20
Nothing, no response, i lost $30.
I backed a lot of project, this is the first i never received !
Creator Francesca Pons on December 26
Do you really think Kickstarter should allow this irresponsable person to start a new project in its site anymore? I strongly believe they shouldn't.
Creator Matt McNerney on December 16
Hi Mr. Weiss,
I seem to be having poor luck reaching you. I tried following the instructions you left a few times and haven't heard back. I pledged at the 12 dollar tier and never received any SoundBenders. If I have somehow missed my window, I completely understand and am happy to contribute to your endeavor. If that is the case, can you please let me know that I missed out so I don't continue to try and contact you? Happy holidays!
Creator David Luk on December 11
I have sent an email on 25/Oct and still yet to receive my product. At this stage I am going to wait until after Xmas and I will re-send my request after new year if I haven't received my product. I guess tracking is essential to protect both yourself (seller) and your backers. It could be a small price to pay on top but this is well worth the money.
Creator Nicolas Himbert on December 6
No received yet too. I send you 2 mail.
Coud you help me please !
Creator Roberto on December 5
This person stole our money. Think about it. Who has not received will not receive anything. If I lived near him would have already done something about it. There is no mail in the world if it takes 3 months to send any item.
Creator Francesca Pons on December 3
Moshe, are we still receiving the sound bender? Or must we forgot the shipment and the money?
I think most of us are angry not because of not getting the gadget but because of no hearing a word from you to our requests.
Creator Simply Amazinc, LLC on December 2
Wow. Really? Why all the hate? I am sorry you have not received your soundbender. All have been shipped and again I have no way of tracking international shipments. If I ever do another kickstarter campaign I would opt not to include international since I have ended up sending them out over and over again and they don't end up getting to the customer! This is a startup and kickstarter does not do a great job helping with fulfillment, returns Eric. I supported a project named slim two months ago and I have not received it yet. Production issues and fulfillment issues etc. I don't complain. It's kickstarter I supporting people who need to learn the process and it is not easy! Please stop using profanity and making false accusations regarding my integrity. I am sorry you didn't receive your soundbender but use of that language is not okay. Thank you all for helping me get started. One person in one country does not show on the whole.
Take a look at these comments:
Hi Moshe,
Just to let you know that I have been enjoying the SoundBender for quite some time now and I am very pleased with the quality of your product and the easiness of use. Very helpful on many occasions. It is just perfect!!! Will back it again in a heartbeat!!!
Oliver Aslanian on October 26
Dear Fellowes, yes it took some extratime, but finaly I got my reward as promised. I understand, why some backers got angry, but its not really Moshes fault, that in Germany for example the customs needed about 3 weeks to leave the letter through. So just stay calm and believe in what you backed for. It´s the idea everyone sponsored. This is crowdfunding not shopping at amazone. It´s hard work to produce and deliver for 544 people in whole world.
Thank you Moshe, great work. I gave some to my family and friends and all where delighted. Well done and just keep on thinking!
Chris Bertelson on October 25
Got mine last month and it works fine. Magnet was in backwards, figured there was a 50/50 chance of that. Quick & easy to fix. Well worth $7.
Not worth getting upset or spending a lot of time complaining as my time is worth more, and I understand the nature of Kickstarter. Move on, it's not a store. It is helping those get started and learn along the way.
Creator Roberto on December 2
I have not received anything yet and kickstarter takes no action. They are not responsible for the product they help sell. Lost all credibility for me, I will never support any project. On ebay you buy anything and they guarantee your money back if not delivered. Here there is no support, they simply ask you to contact the seller. The problem is that he does not answer anything. ------FUCK YOU SIMPLY AMAZINC-------
Creator David Luk on November 28
November 28th. Still no reply/nothing received. Have readjusted my expectation. :(
Creator Sandra on November 24
@Francesca - If it is any consolation, you are not the only one who get left empty handed!
Creator Francesca Pons on November 14, 2012
November, 14th. Three weeks since the last mail from Moshe and still with no SoundBender. No reply. Really sad and disappointed, because I think I'll never receive the product.

Here is a copy from a comment post from me.
Creator Simply Amazinc, LLC about 17 hours ago
I'm sorry. I am a bit overwhelmed... Kickstarter makes it extremely difficult and time consuming for fulfillment and returns, replacements, etc. I will get them to you.
Moshe. Please email me at: mweiss@simplyamazinc.com and put in subject line:
a) "HAVE NO RECEIVED YET"
b) "BROKEN PLEASE REPLACE"
It is utterly a nightmare to go back and get the info from Kickstarter
To expedite things please include in you email:
1) You pledge level (how many what colors)
2) Your full name and COMPLETE Shipping address/info.
I will ship out any responses I get this week
Thank you all!
Moshe
Creator Sandra on October 24, 2012
Moshe,
There are several people out there who backed your kickstarter in good faith. However, you choose to neglect them completely! Have the decency to answer our mails, reply to posted comments, send out our rewards! If not, then issue refunds! I know kickstarter isn't a shop, but it also isn't charity!
Creator Francesca Pons on October 24, 2012
I live in Mallorca and I have not received a SoundBender yet. I am very disappointed and, like Robeto, I'm feeling stolen. I totally agree wiht Tushar, we shoud complain.
Creator Tushar on October 21, 2012
All those who havent the sound bender like me ..should file a complaint with the Amazon payments and other methods since i feel that this seller is a Big Cheater and we should all lodge a combined complaint against the American police too...if anyone has as ideas how to get our money back..then please do write here ...
Creator Sandra on October 20, 2012
I don't care about the magnets, like Evan said, this was clear from the beginning. My problem is I have not received anything: no shipping notice, no soundbenders, no answers to the emails I have sent, not even a single explanation on this comments page as to why my delivery is delayed for almost 2 months. Moshe, please step forward and send out all missing shipments or at least be so kind as to answer emails.
Creator Yoshiko KANAI on October 20, 2012
I live in Japan. I have not yet received a SoundBender.
How long should I wait...?
Creator Laura Vasic-Lacey on October 20, 2012
I received my today! They work really great! I'm a bit concerned about the magnet being near the speaker (...bad experience with a magnetic charger near my Bose headphones) but I'm sure that was already thought out. Thanks for the fast shipping and wonderful gadget!
Creator Evan on October 19, 2012
Yay! Just got mine!! Thank you SO much! They work awesome!! No magnet issue but I really don't understand why people keep complaining about the magnets, we were all notified to flip the magnets just in case. Thanks Moshe!!
Creator Roberto on October 18, 2012
I funded the project and I still have not received, it is already selling on ebay for other people. I'm feeling stolen
Creator Jacob Matthews on October 17, 2012
Got mine in the mail this morning. Don't hold your breath with the shipping...
Like John Kostrzewski 4 of my five had the magnets in backwards. Poke them out through the hole in the back and flip them around. Slight inconvenience... but I can imagine how hard assembly with correct magnet orientation might be... Still if this hits retail and isn't fixed it's going to be a serious problem.
Creator Evan on October 16, 2012
I have yet to receive my product and it was apparently sent twice.
Creator kkereta on October 16, 2012
No response still?
Creator Roberto on October 15, 2012
Good night, there is no consideration for the people who believed in you and your project. So far not received any email with information if my items have already been sent or not. the next time you think to launch a product you should first consider a team enough to at least get in touch with people and answering emails. I am very disappointed and thinking that made a bad deal.
Creator Bob Albers on October 14, 2012
I'm in Thailand and still no email or delivery. I sent an e-mail also, but no reply. Disappointing.
Creator Sandra on October 9, 2012
@Tushar - Same problem here! I sent several mails to them, no answer whatsoever! I have no idea why some received there package 5 weeks ago and others haven't even received a shipping notice. Not a happy backer!
Creator Tushar on October 9, 2012
Why are the promoters not answering why havent we got the soundbender as yet?? Hope to receive the replies soon....
Creator Gil Pena on October 6, 2012
Um sent you a pic of the broken white and black sound benders I received in the mail the day I got them. What does it take to exchange them?
Creator Toby Chang on October 4, 2012
Hi, i did not get mine yet, please check for me, Thanks a lot!
Creator Joanna Chia on October 4, 2012
Me too... juz received my sound bender.... Will try it later... Thanks
