Easy, since Philips is a Dutch company, so it has a lot of trust. But it is only the brand name, it is developped in Switzerland (also a good sign) and made in China (where everything is made).
@Philips_Support_N
Can you please let us know what is the shipping plan 9th Feb onwards?
Contribution id. 1107 from Saudi Arabia. When can I expect mine?
Interesting.
Indigogo supports Apple Pay. Backerkit does not. Only European backers were forced to use backerkit for vat payments, so it should have worked in China. Maybe Apple Pay is not popular.
I always wondered what would have happened to European backers without credit card in November …
The only people I’ve seen use Apple Pay or Google Pay are in the United States. I’ve never seen anyone use these systems anywhere else, although I do occasionally see a sticker on a payment device so they must be active in some places.
Even if we look at Germany where many people don’t have credit cards, only EC bank cards, most people know someone in their family or a close friend who has one. I have a German best friend who occasionally calls me to get help booking a plane ticket and we have the usual conversation where I suggest she gets one for herself from a free online bank, and she doesn’t like them so it doesn’t happen. But, it’s not like China where they cannot even be legally offered.
FYI: Google Pay is widely used in Australia. I use it to pay for things 90% of the time.
I am backer 3365 fromPortugal? I have paid the tax long time ago but i havent received any news from shipping? Who can help???
nono can help you
Hi and welcome to the forum. Please check New shipments after cny for more info on delivery. I believe they’ll share an update in the current thread once they have another shipment for Europe.
Only God can help us now to kill the virus. It would then depend on your religion who’s that God 
As Backerkit seems to be used primary for the VAT in Europe it is strange they don’t seem to have any knowledge about their legal obligation to send an invoice to anyone paying VAT and I still wonder what will happen to this company!
Just to let you know that besides United States, here in Singapore we use Apple Pay/Google Pay almost everywhere. We use it even for tapping into public transport such as buses and trains.
UK backer and backer number 3898 and still waiting…
@Philips_Support_N This list is over one month old. Maybe publish a fresh list once the discounts end tonight?

There’s probably a small handful of new backers but I can’t imagine that many would’ve jumped onboard in the last month.
Well, the list from January 30th had 15530 backers on it, I ordered another on the 27th and got backer number 21014.
Also, backer numbers don’t equal amount of units ordered, as during the life of the campaign you could order 2, 50, or even 100 at once. So this only says something about individual pledges, not how many units were ordered or by how many people. Like I’m twice a backer with 2 units but only one person. I imagine someone buying 55 might be 4 times a backer with 55 units in total but still only one person.
Well I agree… but we have had huge cancellations… so the total number might be actually lower. Now that we epect very less new people to onboard… IT will be a good to know list.
That’s fair… but i am sure that will only be a handful of people. (between 40-50 is my wild guess)
But if we are ramping up to around 2000 shipments per week… We should not have to wait too much anyways.
That’s the only important and true statement really… they are being made and will be shipped, that’s all that matters. It’s late anyways, but will be there soon.
