I was e-mailed once to ask what I thought of my 'matter' box - was unable to reply as I had not received one!!

Shame Tim (from Matter) doesn't log on here & keep us up to date on what's going on at Matter any more.

I know ...... he seemed or rather, was very helpful and personable and I sympathised with all he said (loads of us were friendly & supportive towards him) but unfortunately nothing he said regarding receiving the boxes has proven true. This is a shame and I think he was trying really hard to genuinally keep us informed and get things off the ground but that the project just hasn't worked. I wouldn't actually say this proved the sceptics true as far as he, personally, was concerned but all doubts about the scheme as a whole seem to have been realised.

I may be wrong but I seem to remember something about us getting them in Feb., either if you had missed the first lot or were already on the list & due for another without having to re-apply/re-register every year .... but this was Feb. 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....... here we are in April 2010 with a bit fat zero!

You never know ..... we may all get a nice surprise though!!!!!

I wonder if he still works there and if any of us would volunteer to e-mail him???!!!!!

..... at least we might find out if the project has collapsed and we could all put it to bed.

I hope they weren't put off by negative comments about the box contents or scheme on here!!!!!

ohh...i forgot to look at the later threads, it doesn't look all that good now.. hopefully it will suprise us and send us lots of goodies one day!

I think the main problem is that the first box came out and then recession hit really badly and so finding companies to advertise in the box must have become nigh on impossible. I saw something around at Christmas (not a box but a competition) so I think it is still happening, just not sure when......

I registered at least a year and a half ago, and haven't even had an e-mail from them...

Sorry to bump, on the blog on the website it says their next box will be going to the 18-24 year olds...grrr. I was 24 (if not 23) when I registered, does that count?!?!

That sucks , cause alot of people never even got the first one and then they cancelled the second. Alot of people might suddenly be younger lol

hmmm...it all had a lot of hype..

although, yes, I know, a freebie is a freebie and we should all be grateful for a freebie.... but the first one wasn't a lot to rave about...

unless you wanted to watch a dvd of a roaring fire!
