LampsterReviews of thelampster.com

Adding my voice to this sorry list of letdowns from the people at The Lampster. It sounds like a great product at first and the reasons for the “delay” seem justifiable but then there’s the waiting. I placed my order in December of 2015. My email correspondence has been far from fruitful. Quite honestly, there is absolutely no excuse for false promises and a complete lack of communicataion. I’ve had better shopping experiences with the pop-up ads on Instagram. The team at the Lampster give Kickstarter a bad name. They give the internet a bad name. Buyer be ware! Do not waste your time with this overpriced product or this uncommunicative company. If I’d received my shipment (which I have not) or any “update” from The Lampster team that did not ask me to keep waiting, spell my name wrong or have excessive exclamation points as if it was me annoying them, then this review would be very different. I genuinely wish it were. Aug. 8, 2018: Adding an update because I’ve recently emailed The Lampster, as per their reply to this posting. I got an automated message and no information about my December 2015 order. Team Lampster, I’d be happy to join “Mister Barron” and give you a glowing review... But I can’t exactly do that without receiving the product that I paid for.

Ordered (#30888) November of last year, was told 2 to 3 months. When that came and went was told "June at the latest". Now that it is July they simply don't return my emails. Incredibly frustrating. *Update* After posting the original message someone finally responded (Coincidence?) The response was "We processing your order. You will get an email before shipping." I of course pointed out that this message means nothing and again asked when my order will be sent. Nothing. After about five more emails I got another email asking to confirm my address. Of course still no actual commitment of a delivery. Do yourself a favor and just bury your money in a hole somewhere rather than giving it to these people.

SCAM! I Backed them as one of the first people, Kickstarter was the reason why they are here today. No answer, nothing after 3 years! Stay away!

Ordered 4th of January 2016 (Order #15721) 20 months later i received my lamp. I wrote a couple of times for a status but go no replies. Updates on kickstarter and other channels was lacking. Finally got a reply on facebook and 4 weeks later I had my lamp. I'm giving their product 5 stars, but lack of communication drags my total review down to 3. I know this was a KS product and I'm okay with waiting for it, but being kept in the dark is very frustrating (for a long time I thought my $208 was lost). I hope they get their communication fixed some time in the future. In short: Lamp is awesome. Shipping is slow. Communication is lacking.

Conflicting updates on shipping. I emailed and was told next week by one person then when I requested an update a week later I was told 3-4 months! They refuse to issue refunds and very rarely respond in an honest and timely manner. Though some people have had their lamps I doubt everyone will get theirs any time soon.

Have you been scammed by thelampster.com? Read on I purchased, and paid for a lamp in 2015 (!). I have mailed them numerous times, and im being told the same everytime; WERE CLOSE, just three more months, now this is the problem, now that is the problem. Now, theyre just not answering me, and havent done so for 4 months. Meanwhile, you can go onto thelampster.com and BUY a lampster lamp. I know for a fact that some people have ordered, and gotten theirs from simply buying it online. I also know of some people who have purchased it online from thelampster.com, which have just not gotten it, and theyre now experiencing the same issue i am experiencing. I havent gotten mine, allthough i was one of the initial funders for this. BIG scam, stay away. I am going to see if I can establish a lawsuit against these guys, so if you feel cheated by them, drop me an email at : ivebeenscammedbythelampster at gmail.com

I purchased a lamp in Feb 2017. They has been promising to start shipping the product in late June. No updates. Still have not received the lamp. They are NOW saying they will ship in another 14 days.
