I purchased a tablet from IG last time. Nothing happened and the item arrived safely.
Funnily, paying GST or not is a gamble. At times you kena, at times you don't. If you see it held/ confiscated at Customs, then you have to pay. |

i ordered from kickstarter and indiegogo both. never kena tax. most of them ship from china because production from there so rarely you will get taxed.

Depend on your luck I think. I funded a backpack off from Indiegogo before, total damage USD 329.00. Huge box with the bag and accessories inside. Never got charged by customs because the seller under declare the value of the goods or deem them as "gifts".
If you're using credit card but your transaction is denied, you need to contact indiegogo support to check your account. Last time I cancel on a project that I backed and requested a refund, they automatically black listed my account as high risk. |

Kastam got bigger fish to fry than to charge taxes on every little thing that comes through; they'd want to go for bigger, more expensive items.
I haven't pledged on Indiegogo before (only Kickstarter, but also smallish items), but never kena taxed. And I've bought stuff from US before, tak pernah kena. *touch wood* TL;DR - see your luck; if kena, then shut up and pay, if not then good for you lor. |
