Hi Donald,
Thank you for the feedback you have given. One of the biggest concerns
that has been raised is the appearance of the Thin Ice vest. We know
that for some of you this is a non-starter, but as with any
investment, returns are not always immediate; things change, research
and development evolve prototypes, and we weren’t going to ship you
a product we did not believe was functioning at its peak performance.
Our goal at Thin Ice was and is to create a product that delivers an
avenue in which you can reach your weight loss goals and we believe we
have done that. Your generous backing to Thin Ice was your
contribution to the idea that we could realize a wearable technology
that would aid in weight-loss. Your investment assisted our research
and development teams to bring to life the idea we all believed in.
The vest has evolved over the course of our campaigns and what we
have developed in its current state is the best option to deliver the
technology we’ve been working on; the technology you’ve invested
in.
Regarding the refund, it is not possible and we are not offering
refunds to any backers. Our campaign was responsible for funding our
research and development, manufacturing and delivery, and as you’ll
see on our crowdfunding pages, there is a finite number of dollars to
put towards these imperative steps.
As we continue to grow and people see the results of the technology of
the vest, we are going to resume working towards our vest’s
aesthetic goals. Thank you again for your feedback.
Thank you kindly for reaching out. Best regards and please let me know
if I can help out with anything else.
