Yesterday I was kicking myself for ever getting involved with Cherrypal but it seems that every disappointment really is a blessing in disguise. After all, how would I have gotten to know about Zecozi, the marketplace that makes shopping a social experience? This morning I had more emails with Deana Zelenka, the CEO who has taken what could have been a nightmare situation and handled it with more grace and class than I could have ever imagined. I finally spoke to Deana this morning and she not only processed my refund promptly while apologizing profusely- she also didn't throw Cherrypal under the bus. She expressed disappointment at the situation, but remained professional under pressure- impressive.

A tip of the hat to you, Ms Zelenka.
