Nanostate appears to be a scam. I’ve tried to order this twice, under different names and to different addresses. Both times, the product never shipped, and a refund was issued only after repeated requests for information from the company. Don’t waste your time.

Shawn you purchased and said you never got the product, got refunded and then you ordered again in your wife’s name and the order was cancelled as that looked like a fraudulent transaction and due to the same uncommon surnames. Why would you reorder again in a different name ?

A scam is when someone takes your money or the product does not work, neither has happened to you.
