Would-Be CherryPad Owners Left Wondering ‘Where Is My Tablet?’
When CherryPal unveiled their low-cost yet potentially not half bad CherryPad for the cost of $188 back in September, you can imagine quite a few people jumped in on the pre-order with the promise their new tablet would ship out right around October 15th. Fast forward to the last week of October and those who bought in are left with unfulfilled orders. One would-be owner is reporting he didn’t even receive a tracking number until October 20th, and that number was dubious at best. Apparently he wasn’t alone.
The group handling the online sales of the CherryPad, Zecozi, sent out an email to customers today in a bit of a move to save face. They wanted to make it clear that while they handled the money, they are not responsible for shipping out the new tablets. That duty falls squarely on Cherrypal, a company that doesn’t seem to be delivering.
One of two things could be going on here: Cherrypal just scammed a bunch of people out of a quick $188, or the company is incredibly poor at public relations, demand for the tablet was higher than expected, and production delays are responsible for the lack of shipments. Not sure which one is more likely. Anyone out there order and recieve (or not receive) the CherryPad?
