Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 111 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the delivery service, reporting that products were never shipped or experienced extensive delays, often exceeding several months. People also frequently mentioned issues with their orders, including unfulfilled purchases and a lack of updates on tracking information. Furthermore, consumers were unhappy with the refund process, stating that requests were often ignored or required intervention from credit card companies. The response time from the company was also a common point of frustration, with many receiving automated or unhelpful replies. Though some customers were satisfied with the product quality, describing items like the Neon Crystal Cube, Lighthouse, Hex panels, and Halo lamp as beautiful, incredible, or having excellent build, these positive experiences were often overshadowed by the aforementioned shipping and service issues. A few other people also felt that the products, once received, were visually appealing and met their expectations.

Fantastic Lights for the Price

Setup was a breeze, and connecting to Alexa was smooth. My wife enjoys changing the colors for different moods - it makes us feel quite nice. They cost a bit more than regular bulbs, but the quality seems worth it.

Exceeded My Expectations

Took about a week to arrive but I love these lights! My apartment feels completely different now - super cozy. The app is straightforward and works without a hitch and setting them up with Alexa was easy.

This Company is dishonest and defrauding customers

I have finally come to the conclusion that this company is defrauding ALL of its customers. Continual promises that they will ship the products we all paid for. In essence, they are only out to take people's money with no intention to actually ship any of the perks or products to anyone. Literally, hundreds of people have been strung along for upwards of 4-5 months. Being told over and over that their promised product is "processing." Even providing tracking numbers that go nowhere. This is a very bad look for Indiegogo, allowing Moonside to continue taking money and promoting its products after knowing that Moonside is defrauding its customers. I am now hesitant to ever back another campaign on the website.

Stay away from them

I was foolish enough to back their project on Indiegogo.
No updates, empty promises, false tracking number and obviously no product received.

At the same time they have the audacity to launch another new product on the website (regardless of the fact that they are not able to fulfill what they promised to backers) and to start offering the very same, backed product directly from the website practically cheaper than what backers had to pay.

Don't take my word, I recommend checking the Indiegogo Moonside Star Bulb discussion section.

Just stay away from them.

Do Not Buy From Moonside

Ordered MagLight on Kickstarter 4th October 2023. Last update about "logistical problems" was Feb 2024.
Still not tracking or delivery.
Received an email with the usual - "The logistical issues which previously impacted our ability to update you have been resolved. We are now in the process of shipping orders sequentially, and your MagLight will be dispatched shortly. We will update you with the tracking information once your package is on its way Blah, blah, blah.

Nothing after a month

After a month, nothing has arrived. They don't use any tracking on orders. When I asked for a refund they didn't agree (as the product was being shipped). When you get in contact with customer services they say they will get a tracking number ASAP, but then you hear nothing. Just avoid this company.

Well pleased with these!

Got these for the lounge last month - they're brilliant! Dead easy to set up and works great with Alexa. Pricier than regular bulbs, but I get what I pay for.

Do not buy anything from this company

Do not buy anything from this company

Appalling customer service, unacceptable delays of product
No delivery updates, well overdue for delivery, chase the company for an update on delivery, they advised shipping delays and working hard to resolve. Couple of weeks later still no delivery update, chased again and this time asked for 100% refund. They responded by advising the item has now shipped and therefore no refund is allowed as per their terms and conditions

At point of writing this review, no product, no refund and useless customer service

Don’t waste your money

I ordered a a few Moonside Hex in July…

I ordered a a few Moonside Hex in July 2024. Till this day 14 October 2024 I have not received anything. The reply AI generated message keep telling me that it's on it's way. This is the second package that they are sending as they say cause the first one was lost but I think they are lying to play for time... DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. You may got a package one time quickly but the next you may not be so lucky. My package was $99 and I can't seem to get a hold of someone for a refund!!!

Scam, dont buy.

Dont buy anything from them, i placed an order and paid for express shipping because it takes 3-5 Word days but I have not received it after 8 days. Im in Spain on vacations and today i have a flight to my city, so i will loose my order because they lie with the shipping times.

I ordered this

I ordered this. Took forever to receive and it has a defective/overheating battery which they are trying to tell me is normal. They will only issue a refund if you mail back to Hong Kong at your own expense. There are no shippers willing to ship an item with a defective/overheating battery
