Thomas Vles, the original founder of the now liquidated company behind Poopy Cat’s Kickstarter campaign, Poopy Pets Sales BV, has responded to us regarding the turmoil amongst a – according to him small fraction – of Kickstarter pledgers. “We regret that certain backers did not accept the offered solution to pay the additional shipping costs”, says Vles: “we have hundreds of happy backers.”
On Monday, we published a story about two of Poopy Cat’s, (now infamous) Landmarks Kickstarter campaign, backers, who weren’t pleased when they were faced with a steep increase in costs for shipping. As it turns out, they were even seeking legal counseling to see if they could still receive a refund.
