Free Radflex Panels

I was one of the first to click the link, the Radflex website grinds to a halt, 3 minutes later the entire allocation of 1,000 panels has gone.

Seriously? Ridiculous.

    The Radflek website is also still down.

    So, if the website was down from 12pm, how have the 1,000 free panels been claimed? Telepathy?

    Methinks I smell bullcrap. :money:

    I wouldn't bother trying any more, Sun. The update on the MSE page for the free panels states that they have all gone. In 3 minutes. That's 1,000 panels in 3 minutes....that's quicker than Take That tickets.

    Hence, bullcrap.

    I wonder whether it was simply a marketing ploy on the part of Radflek?

    They say they'll give away 1,000 free panels and then a code for 20% off. MSE posts the link, Radflek take down their website briefly and tell MSE that the 1,000 panels have all been claimed in record time. They then release the 20% off code to tempt those who 'missed out' into buying some thick tinfoil, worth £9.99 with 20% off.

    Or am I being too cynical?

    I managed to finally open the link but as I was putting in my first name the form disappeared saying sorry all the free packs have gone! Then I clicked on the link again and this time I managed to fill in all my information and submitted it. This time I got the message "Thank you, your free pack will be with you soon". I'm totally bemused. I'll wait to see if it actually arrives. This was about 12:13 btw.

    I'm sure others will post on here if they have successfully managed to get one.

    That's ridiculous Poppea.

    MSE and Radflek should hang their heads in shame for this farce!
