Razzle LogoRazzle.ca, who we covered both when they launched and when they botched their few shipments of products, is now dead.

I do not know they guy(s) behind Razzle, but I am guessing that they have learned a lot of lessons with this startup. I am guessing it is only a matter of time before they come back with something else, and I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully next time there will be no fake forum posts, questionable explanations or “supplier issues”.

A family member of mine did order a set of headphones from Razzle and they came brand new, unopened and in perfect condition. The placeholder page says they are “rebooting” the site, but I get a sense that the founder just felt overworked and under-appreciated. A few too many mistakes will sink any startup, and this appears to be an example.

Update:

It appears that despite the message on their website yesterday, Razzle is up again and has a pair of refurbished headphones for sale.
