Telly launched in 2023 offering free dual-screen TVs with constant ads on the bottom display, initially projecting 500,000 shipments and receiving 250,000 pre-orders. However, the company has only delivered 35,000 units by late 2025, struggling with a 10% breakage rate through FedEx shipping and widespread delivery delays that damaged customer confidence.
