Big box full of great freebies from Matter(merged)

What a waste of time i have just un subscribed. Matterbox is doomed to fail before it starts with such incompetence.

Why's everyone so grumpy!

It's something for nothing. They've not done you any disservice by delaying. I'm sure it's been quite an operation meeting the demand and planning it all since the thousands of inhabitants of here clambered on to their little ship of an idea.

Most of the time with freebies you don't even have a date of arrival let alone the superb contact updates and personal messages from the chaps at Matter.

Hello everyone

As you are already aware, we had a last minute hitch and had to delay the boxes from being delivered tomorrow to next Saturday. I'm very sorry about this and I know that people will be disappointed–I know how you feel.

I know that it's unusual to delay at such short notice, but we had a very last minute problem and had to make the decision to not go for tomorrow. Instead we wanted everyone to still have the Saturday experience-so it's coming next Saturday, 6th December.

I know some of you have expressed your disappointment in quite strong terms. While I would never try and make excuses because Matter is free, I would ask for forgiveness because it's new.

I can only express my apologies and ask that you bear with us a little while longer. We're creating something new and it's bound to present problems.

I'm sure it won't spoil your long term enjoyment of Matter.

Quite clever only sending the emails out tonight when you will have known for quite some time that thousands of boxes had no chance of being sent :T.

What a load of tripe! (as my grandad would say!).

sillyvixen

i dunno why we are all so suprised its been delayed-after all Royal Mail are involved! I suppose we will just have to wait ...and wait.. and wait-maybe we will get it for next XMAS ?!!!At least they have the courtesy to email us so we don't waste the morning waiting in for the postie.

My goodness!! Why are people being so miserable about this? Its FREE! He doesnt have to do it, he chooses to. So what if you have to wait another week, its still coming.
I say we should thank you Tim for all the effort you put into the boxes, and for the moaners, just unsubscribe from Matter and go be miserable somewhere else!!
Roll on next saturday
