Well, like everyone else, I was scammed. Claimed product shipped, but with no tracking number. Nothing showed up, even months later.

Contact the seller? They've been "on a break" for a while now. They aint' coming back.

Never got it. No response from Seller.

Claimed shipped without tracking number. Apparently others have had the same scammage. Got money back from Paypal (thank you)

it was a scam.

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Seller never provided a shipping number. After two weeks, they said it would take a week. After that they said it was lost and they would resend. Three weeks later they wouldn't reply to my messages.

It took more than two months to get my money back. This is a scam

A complete scam

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Ordered two of them and haven't received either, both seperate orders and supposedly shipped at seperate times. I should have known it was too good to be true for such a complicated mechanism. I contacted Tindie support a week ago and haven't heard back yet, but failing that I may have to do a chargeback.

Edit: Tindie support refunded me for both orders after I follow up a day ago. I'll definitely be more cautious about what I order from now on.

Same as the others

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

I also ordered one around november based on the blog post everyone else has been seeing and got an EMS shipping without tracking (of course) and never received anything as well.

Order never recieved

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Same as everyone else posting on this page. Seller took my order, marked the order shipped with no tracking, and then shipped nothing. I reached out to the seller via DM, but after several days the message hasn't even been read - looks like they've abandoned the account and customers. I'll be contacting Tindie for help on this one - failing that, Visa.

SCAM

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Add me to the list. How do we get Tindie to kill this person's account? Never had a problem with any other seller.

Order #562802 Shipped (CURTA) - NOT RECEIVED!

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Same as many... Ordered more than a month ago and still no sign...
Tindie (even as "only" "a marketplace") don't allow me to send a message to CraftLab
Everyone's a Scam ???

Scammed

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Samesies as everyone else. Saw it on the blog, thought oh neat, and put in an order. Got "shipped" (DHL no tracking 🙄) in december, and nada since.

UPDATE: Tindie processed a refund. Fill this out if you haven't already, folks: https://sf-tindie.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Only took 2 days and now I've got worrying about this off of my plate.

Scam!! Never shipped, no tracking number

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Scam seller. If you already ordered, start the dispute. It seems to be a honeypot trying to get sales before they disappear.

Daniel | Jan. 14, 2026

Item never received

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Item never received, shop does not return emails. Dishonest seller. Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhundredfckingcharacters.

Nicht empfehlenswert

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Curta Rechner am 30.11.25 bestellt bis heute keine Lieferung erhalten,auch keine Antwort auf alle Fragen und Tindie schaut zu und schweigt
Hallo habe gerade in Chats von Tim345 gelesen das Tindie keine Auszahlung tätigt wenn keine Sendungsverfolgungsnummer vom Verkäufer angegeben wird,da ist das Problem,aber Tim 345 ist immer noch in Pause

Richard | Jan. 12, 2026

Same here

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Curta still not received!

Suggest if the vendor is genuine, they have become a victim on their own success. It seemed awfully cheap for something so complicated to assemble!

In a support ticket, Tindie have told me they are a ‘marketplace’ and I need to take it up with my credit card issuer. I wonder if the vendor has ‘cashed out”? If not, surely Tindie can provide a refund?

Looks like a few people are in the same boat….!

Scammed

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

I ordered it late November. Add me to the list of those who received nothing! .

product never arrived

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

I ordered the Curta after reading this blogpost from tindie https://blog.tindie.com/2025/11/31-scale-curta-replica/ ( which seems to be removed now).
However it can still be read on the internet archive:
https://web.archive.org/web/20251124173116/https://blog.tindie.com/2025/11/31-scale-curta-replica/

It has been more then 6 weeks since ordering, but the product never arrived.

He took my money and delivered nothing :-(

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

I don't seem to be the only one who feels this way. Have we fallen victim to a fraudster? I have to be more careful next time.

Item not received - seems to be a scam

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

I purchased a mechanical calculator on November 25, 2025. Although the seller is in the same country, the item was only marked as shipped on December 2.

More than one month later, the product has not been delivered, and I received no effective communication. The seller’s status now shows “this seller is taking a break”, leaving buyers without support.

Unfortunately, I am in the same situation as other users, as can be seen in the reviews on this page.

seems to be a scam

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

Like the other user mention. seller took the orders and ran. For me, i gave it time due to american holiday but pretty much dead air. avoid

Has anyone received theirs?

For CURTA Mechanical Calculator

I ordered a Curta model based on the Tindie staff blog post (https://blog.tindie.com/2025/11/31-scale-curta-replica/), but it's been over a month since the shipping notice (with no tracking) and I haven't received it yet. I've tried contacting the seller twice to ask for details and they have not replied after a few weeks. They are now listed as "taking a break from Tindie". Has anyone received theirs or heard from craftlab?
