    All you whining should read the last paragraph on the website:

    We ask our subscribers to be patient and bear with us, but it’s free, it costs you nothing–your data is safe, we’re not going to sell it or rent it to anyone. If you’re still concerned, we fully understand if you wish to leave, but you can always come back later.

    I just had a mooch and they say that they aim to send them out a few times a year and it depends on what advertisers they can get on board and on what you fill out in the survey. In principle if Royal Mail can make it work it's a great idea. It's a new concept so it looks like companies are hesitant. I've signed up ; )


    Its not new at all. ive been signed up for a while now and the first box they said they had sent out to me and im still waiting for it now.

    Signed up way back near the beginning of this thread (in 2008),only ever got the first/2nd box with this in it -

    It will contain a DVD cleaning cloth provided by LoveFilm; a Cadbury cranberry and granola chocolate bar; a DVD of a roaring fireplace created by Diageo; an O2 sim card pack; a shower gel by Original Source; and a book sample by Harper Collins.

    The dvd cloth's still going strong.

    I expect most new(er) sign ups will have a long wait before they receive a box (if at all)

    eta: this is what they're claiming on the site

    8 Sept 2010. There have been only two Matter boxes so far–the pilot edition and Matter 1, which went to the first 30,000 subscribers who joined before Sept 05, 2008. There haven’t been any boxes since.

    We are working on the next edition, which will be a small version of Matter, going to some of our 18-24 year old subscribers. We anticipate this will be coming sometime mid-November.

    We are working on a bigger plan to make Matter work next year, because, clearly, it’s not really working now, is it?

    Remember us? We know it's been a while but we're still here, and there will be a new Matterbox coming out soon.

    It's been a long wait, hasn't it? And the next Matterbox is different. It's exclusively from Cadbury, and is linked to an exciting idea they've come up with as part of their sponsorship of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

    There will only be limited quantities of this edition available, so if you would like one simply be one of the first to respond and confirm your address.

    That's really all you have to do!

    As you can tell from this we're thinking of new and different ideas for Matter and we want everyone to join in, show their friends and spread the word about this exciting new idea.

    Thank you for your patience and support. Good luck!
