Redemption :)
I recently ordered the Pingu speaker from Martube, but when it arrived, it unfortunately wouldn’t turn on, even after several attempts to charge it. I reached out to Martube’s customer service and after trying all of their troubleshooting tips and sending them a short video, they confirmed that the speaker was defective. They initially suggested I return it, but when I mentioned it was meant to be a gift, they were so kind and sent me a replacement right away without needing a return. I’ve just received the new one, and I could not be happier, it works perfectly as described and looks super cute! My sister absolutely loved the gift (even though it's a little late) :D The sound quality is great for what you pay and the head tilting functionality is unfathomably cute. I believe you can also take calls on it but I have yet to test it. Also, I love the inclusion of the poster (really nice print quality) and of course the headphones are such a cute feature (it also works to turn the sound and head shaking off and on). However, I noticed that the quality of the headphones on this one seems better than on the first speaker, maybe they've upgraded the quality recently? Also, it took ~15 days the first time and ~10 days the second time from when they shipped it to arrive. So in total (including processing) it should take around 2-3 weeks to arrive from date of order to Australia.
