Issue not resolved

Thanks for coming back to pre-order even more MAGFAST Chargers!! Yes I'm sorry it looks like our password account security system had a bug that temporarily locked you out.

We’re serious about your privacy and keeping your data secure (see https://www.magfast.com/trust-safety/) and I’m sorry that locking you out got in the way of your second order attempts.

I apologize also we didn’t get back to you more quickly. Looks like everything is resolved now :)

Sanja, of Magfast Customer Service, sent me a link to enable me to order the same product set with discount offers as I had received after watching the entire 1-hour infomercial. It didn’t have the promised discount offers.

When I tried to just order the Pro-Kit at the infomercial discount, it wouldn’t let me do it since the company already had my email. I am trying hard to be their customer, but they are making it very frustrating.

I am wondering if I should just cancel all my orders from Magfast and forget the whole thing! Sad

Ordering

Thanks for pre-ordering MAGFAST. I’d like to check into the exact combination of products you selected. Like most companies shipping is often FREE, and should always be clearly shown as such in the cart… Please drop us a line at Hello@MAGFAST.com so we can check and correct things if a bug wasn’t displaying that properly.

They don’t show the amount for shipping and handling before we put the visa information so I would not order before I know what I have to pay. It sounds fishy to me.

I've gotten no order number or confirmation on my purchase

Thanks for reaching out to us about your order confirmation. I see our customer service team was easily able to get it re-sent to you just after you called us and posted this review.

Our order confirmations go out immediately each order is complete and usually land in customer inboxes in less than a minute, often in just seconds. Like all email, now and then a customer finds that it’s landed in a filter folder or spam box, so it’s always worth checking… and we’re always happy to resend any receipt of course - just let us know.

Also you mentioned purchasing and Extended Warranty. At MAGFAST we don’t charge for your warranty because we believe you should expect our products to last and we should support you for their lifetime without charging any extra. Please contact us Hello@MAGFAST.com for any clarification about that or any other aspect of your pre-order.

No call back

We aim to return all calls within 24 hours and we think this is so important that many of our outgoing calls are made by one of our co-founders in person. We’re sorry you didn’t hear back before writing here – most likely we couldn’t actually determine your number from the message, or when we called it wouldn’t connect.
And I’m sure this wasn’t you, but a surprising number of the people who ask us to call either don’t pick up or never return the message we leave when we do!
We can usually help faster on email Hello@MAGFAST.com and please check all your email folders carefully for our reply. We can also help using the little chat icon that can be found all over our website or even by messaging us on Facebook. Just reach out!
When we do speak you being happy with the outcome is the only option we’re interested in. Seriously. So please drop us a line.

Never received free item

We offer the free charger to folks who attend our preview/demo presentation and give us feedback on our product plans. At the presentation our founder Seymour explains in detail that all of MAGFASTs products are in pre-production. The free charger isn’t some cheap junk like most free gifts, it’s actually the most popular of all the chargers we’re developing. And that’s the point - developing.
Thousands of folks have trusted us with $$$ to pre-order the MAGFAST Family of chargers - many ordering 6 or more. As promised, once we have fulfilled our paying pre-order customers we’ll move on to everyone on the list for a free one and fill those as quickly as we can.
We spell out all the details of the free charger program here: https://www.MAGFAST.com/free-charger-program/

TOTAL RIPOFF

I see you added one or two items to the free MAGFAST Wall charger you claimed after watching Seymour’s full presentation. I’m sorry you misunderstood that all MAGFAST products are in development/pre-production as part of a long-term crowdfunding project.

Seymour goes to great lengths to make this clear in the presentation and we include disclosures and alerts all over the site that you’re making a pre-order… Its clear to the vast majority of folks who visit us but being clear about this is super-important to us so we’d love to hear how we could make it clearer.

Please check out https://www.MAGFAST.com/pre-order-transparency/ and let us know how we could do better.

In June 2018 I watched their video and thought it sounded like a good product, so I ordered one of their chargers and paid $31.50. To this day, I have never heard a word back from these crooks. Never got my charger either.

His presentation was a huge temptation for me and doing the payment plan made it even more inviting. I wanted it to be legit, I could really make use of these products, it was exciting.

Always cautious though I had to look thing up. However, after reading this, so detailed, concise and well written I can't risk the money. I don't see but 1 pro comment, and my problem is the presentation makes it sound as if we/buyers should be getting products immediately upon payment so if there was a waiting period of manufacturing till send out it should have been said clearly and several times in the video. That definitely wasn't the case, but it seems to many complaints on here are no products and no customer service.

Thank you for helping me decide. Too bad, I really liked this idea and product, I hate all the wires.

20 minutes into the video - and I am still confused ? Decent products - but

I’m glad you like our products and I’m sorry the video isn’t for you. We’re doing something very different at MAGFAST. There’s lots of not-so-great chargers out there. We’re a startup working to make something way, way better. It’s a long journey and we feel that if we’re going to ask folks to support us over the long term we should explain everything fully first. That’s why we host a long-form online demo, instead of just a quick 1 minute video.

No-one is obliged to watch Seymour’s demo/presentation. When people do, however, we want to know if they like it so for a while now we’ve been asking them to rate it at the end. I just checked and the average rating is XXXX (4.83?) star rating, so people clearly like it a lot.

The individual who wrote this comment is, respectfully, the reason ‘we can’t have nice things any more’.
The internet can be such a powerful force for good, but this individual uses it merely to intimidate merely to harass. Over time we have learned that he is no more than an internet predator who spends his time attempting to damage the reputation of others under the guise of a ‘writer’ or ‘expert’.
As a company we expect and welcome criticism… we do not expect someone who is not a customer and with whom we have no relationship to actively and repeatedly attack us and numerous other innocent parties. without provocation.
He has intimidated members of our staff and our families and engaged in defamation, and tortious interference. Our research shows that this is a pattern of behavior stretching back many years.
He has wasted countless management hours that would have been much better spent focussed on making our amazing products and serving our even more amazing customers.
He has also inflicted significant costs onto a young company and a team that’s simply trying to get a new business off the ground. Please keep your personal information private on this site. You don’t want to hear from him.

MAGFast: scam revealed
Update by user Apr 20, 2019

I wrote the original review here and I stand by what I wrote 100%. My name is Jim Rossi & I can be reached at jim@***.com.

My upcoming book "Cleantech Con Artists" (summer 2019) includes a section on Magfast founder Seymour Segnit and his associates, who have a documented history of deceptive and fraudulent business practices going back to at least 2003 and "Change That's Right Now" (CTRN), a dubious NLP "cure" for phobias. Buyer beware, many red flags.

Update by user Feb 16, 2019

These jokers sent me a cease-&-desist, but when I sent a draft summary of what I found out about Magfast and their previous companies Thingcharger & Change That's Right Now - thousands of complaints alleging fraud, deceptive advertising, false claims, nonexistent customer service, the F from BBB & the Pattern of Complaint warning (see below) - and asked them to provide any evidence or corrections? After lawyering up, they clammed up.

Deceptive, cowardly and predictable. Look for "Cleantech Con Artist" later in 2019 - & in the meantime, buyer beware.https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/cornwall-hdsn/profile/battery-charging/thingcharger-inc-0121-15****/details#Pattern-of-ComplaintAlert: Pattern of ComplaintBBB files indicate a pattern of complaints concerning delivery fulfillment and advertising for thingCHARGER, Inc. Consumers tell BBB about ordering one or more charging devices from the company, and being charged for them, but after several weeks, months or even one year have gone by, the merchandise is not received A number of consumers say that after the order was placed, they find out that thingCHARGER, Inc. is conducting a crowdfunding campaign and the devices are a gift for participating in that campaign.

These consumers reportedly believed they were ordering merchandise from the company and were unaware that they were contributing to crowdfunding campaign. Most of the these consumers claim that there is inadequate disclosure of the business’s crowdfunding activities.

Original review posted by user Jan 10, 2019

I'm a writer who specializes in fraud prevention. I got interested in thingCHARGER and MAGFast, detected a number of anomalies and falsehoods, and emailed questions to founder Seymour Segnit over the weekend. By today - Wednesday, January 9 - MAGFast took down their investment video and are no longer accepting investments.

Several of MAGFast's people have been involved in previous deceptive and/or fraudulent organizations.

MAGFAST- A WONDERFUL COMPANY

I PURCHASED ITEMS FROM THEM, KNOWING THEIR STILL IN DEVELOPING THE PRODUCT. I GET DAILY NOTICES FROM THEM EXPLAINING THE PROCESS THEY GO THROUGH, I WILL RECEIVE MY PRODUCTS IN MID JULY 2019. THEY ARE A GOOD COMPANY REGISTERED WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, I PERSONALLY CHECKED THIS COMPANY OUT AND THEY ARE A REAL COMPANY WHO ARE MAKING AN AWESOME PRODUCT. SO DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR,SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST OUT TO GET A COMPANY FOR MONEY AND THAT ISN'T RIGHT AND IT'S ALSO ILLEGAL,SO GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSES AND STOP TRYING TO RIPP OFF THESE COMPANIES. DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST AND YOU WILL REALIZE HOW WRONG YOU ARE. I STAND BY MAGFAST BECAUSE I KNOW THEY ARE A GOOD,HONEST COMPANY . THANK YOU DEBORAH CIESLEWSKI

I also "invested" in the new product in 2018. Still waiting to receive the chargers.

I worry that the Magfast team is spending more time trying to be on the bleeding edge of 'The next' charging technology and haven't shipped what was already promised. Product development is absolutely necessary. A product can always be improved.

But at least give the customer what was show last year. Look at the history of the Sony Walkman.
