Oldendays

Thanks for this link, have just signed up, there was a multiple choice section on the signup page to say whether you're male or female, and what age group, so presumably anyone can join, I got a confirmation email straight away. (I'm female and in the higher age groups!)

Why is it?

Well surely it's greedy to order more than one for a household, other people who want to sign up may miss out because they are all allocated and some households end up getting two, three or four... It's a great gesture from a company to offer a of freebies, but I think anyone signing up more than once per household is unfair. Personal opinion, I know, but sometimes the appreciation goes out the window and people just take all the time...

10) Who is Matter for?
Matter is for everyone! Eventually, there'll be lots of different Matter boxes.
Initially, editions of Matter will go to all subscribers (depending on when they joined). As Matter develops, there will be different Matter boxes for different people. Matter is based on a universal idea - everyone likes getting a box of goodies - so eventually everyone could get them.

Fair enough then, when (hopefully) April comes and only the selected demographic that 'fit' for that box receive their freebies and those that don't fit the profile don't receive anything, here's hoping this thread doesn't get filled with people moaning and complaining and demanding where their box is, and they signed up and haven't received a box so it must be a scam? It's a good job you've pointed out Point 10 on here so people will understand.
