    Join global test markets or valued opinions and start taking surveys. Although it's pot luck whether or not you'll get a product test survey. I've had Kleenex tissues and nivea deodorant so far. Not exactly great things to keep but useful none the less.
  • Hey!
    I have rarely seen product testing websites that were asking you to send the product back, too much hassle for them and most of the time it is not about expensive products anyway.

    Here are some:

    http://www.paidproducttesting.co.uk/
    http://www.pineconeresearch.co.uk/ but more surveys in general
    :eek: 2014: £20 voucher from SurveyFriends, £10 cash payout from Panel Opinion too and working towards more from Valued Opinions currently.
    2013: £35 and £50 vouchers from SurveyFriends! More than £15 made from other paid surveys sites (Yougov, Panel Opinion, Valued Opinions, Pinecone, etc.) Happy so far!

    Try http://www.cosmeticresearchonline.co.uk/language_page_1.aspx for cosmetics and beauty products.

    I have been with them for 3 years now and find them great. There is no need to send the products back with this company.

    Try the supermarket home panels. I belong to the Mr T panel. I think A*da, Sainsbug etc also have home panels.

  • BzzAgent have different campaigns where you are given a product to test and share your experiences with friends, then provide feedback to them. It is set up so that once you have a proven track record of providing good feedback you are offered more things to test. As an agent things started off slowly for me but seems to have picked up now.

    Oct 2009 - Colgate(R) Sensitive Pro-Relief toothpaste
    Dec 2010 - Philips goLITE BLU light therapy box (not free but a massively reduced cost)
    May 2011 - Benecol spreads and yogurts
    Aug 2011 - Trend Micro Titanium internet security package for a year
    Oct 2011 - Nutricat cat food
    Oct 2011 - Lathams dog food

    Products/campaigns offered will of course depend on your profile with them. They were recently bought out by Tesco so the frequency may increase from now on.
