    Not received mine either, although I had lots of email conversations with Flub It when I was having trouble confirming. Eventually managed to confirm my address back in early November 2011 and received this message:

    Princess Simone, We're all set!

    Thanks for confirming your address! We have a lot of Chocolates to get through so we can't guarantee a time scale of delivery, but we're working through it over the next few weeks and months!

    IMPORTANT: Over the next few days and weeks we'll be sending you some amazing deals on the product(s) you Demanded - Why not Demand more now, and get even more deals on anything...or check out these below:

    Incidentally I've never received any 'amazing deals' or any further correspondence from them. The only thing that gives me hope is that the email does say they are working through sending out the chocolate over the next few WEEKS and MONTHS. Technically few months could be anything up to 12.....but I won't hold my breadth

  • Hi Guys

    My names Bertie, I'm one of the founders of Flubit, I saw this post when googling Flubit (that's allowed, at least it wasn't my name I was googling right? ) and thought I'd help to save any confusion.

    Firstly, for those who did, thank you Demanding to get your freebie. Just so you know we are a young start up working towards making life better on the saving side of products... anyway....

    Regarding the Chocolates, we have indeed started sending these out, I wouldn't call them "huge" as quoted above, but then I guess it's what is big to you - each to their own! :)

    We did slightly underestimate the time it would take to sort and process which is why we tried to limit expectations by saying "weeks or months" in the e-mail.

    Also despite sending them from the PO correctly some haven't arrived, unless the Postman got peckish im not sure why, so we are also trying to work this out.

    While I can understand it will be lovely to receive, please understand it is a freebie, we are working on it, taking note of the fact everyone wants theirs and if it doesn't arrive for a month or so, then we're very sorry, but we are doing our best. We hope you'll appreciate the freebie now or in a few months whenever it arrives.

    Anyway, that's the word from our end, I understand you all have different words from your own end - I'm sorry if we can't please all of them with our progress!

    Flub Regards,

    Bertie

    thankyou for taking the time to explain to us, I wait in anticipation for my free sample. :T

    My son and I both joined flubit right at the start but neither of us was ever sent the email for the chocolates. We checked our spam every day, but nothing!

    Flubit did say in November that they will be out in the coming weeks and months so there is still time.

    They could technically not be received until this November as it will still be within their 'months' timescale :eek:

    Had a blue A5 envelope addressed to Flub-it Member arrive in post today. Luckily husband didn't open as he realised he hadn't signed up to anything. It was easy to work out what was inside without opening as it was a box of maltesers (usually found in poundland). Very nice surprise it was too, expiry date of 24 June 2012, so should manage them by then. Must be a costly promo for Flub It as the postage by Royal Mail was £1.72 according to the stamp.

    Thank - you Bertie and your team (assuming you check in with this thread every now and then)
