    havent had anything for a while since the moisturiser that made my skin dry.. have applied for loads tho.. usually they fit through the letterbox tho my local PO has a habit of claiming they dont and having to go pick them up at the depot.. (then coming home and proving they do fit)

    I have received two shower gels, one in a slim plastic bottle and the other, a green one - no idea what the scent is, was in a very fat tube that didn't fit through the letter box. Luckily we have a good postman who left a note to say that he had left it in the recycling box.

    I do wish they'd sort their system out! Sent my questionnaires back a good two or three weeks ago and had nothing outstanding.

    Early last week, I had one of their letters saying:
    We could not process your full order due to:
    The number of samples you already have listed on your record.

    A couple of days later I had one saying:

    "you already have the maximum number of samples allowed at any one time allocated to your record"...

    A day or so after that I received a handwash and the following day, a shower gel turned up!

    I find it bizarre how a company the size of Boots have such a manual process and haven't got the questionnaires set up electronically! When I spoke to them months ago (must have been the beginning of last year), I was told they'd got 2,500 people on their panel. The paperwork their end must be horrendous!
