sent an email to colgate palmolive to say how much I liked the scents of their aromatherapy shower gels especially the orange and grapefruity one...that was on a Saturday - Tuesday morning all the way from Luxembourg (?) came a lovely letter and a £2 voucher - very nice suprise...;)

so, i'm curious, if you're just complimenting a company and not actually asking for a sample how exactly do you work in your address so they can send you things

Thanks anyway.

Hey Cooldude,

When you click on the link about te new product it should say on the page summit like try for free, just fill out your details there and you will get your samples

From my experience, they usually ask for your addrs afterwards if they are gonna send you vouchers/samples.

I emailed complimenting the following companies

Tropicana - A thankyou reply, no vouchers or samples

Copella apple juice - Thankyou email, no vouchers or samples

Its cherry good Cherry juice - No reply

Drench - Thankyou email, no vouchers or samples

Theres many more, but it appears to be just me who gets nothing every time. I must write more complaints instead of compliments.

But please only write complaints if they are true and you really mean it don't spoil it for the rest of us who have a real complaint
