    Why do they insist in calling it a box?.

    Because it's a box, albeit a small box...but a box is a box and a freebie is a freebie so quit your goddamn complaining! Jeez.....

    This freebie has been overhyped and unfortunately people have been upset. My advice when applying for free stuff is to assume it'll never turn up - that way you won't be disappointed if it doesn't come and you'll be surprised and delighted if it does.

    Well, the chocolate was Ok, the gel cleaned me nicely and the book was a quick free read. It was free for goodness sake, what do you want, diamond rings?

    as a newbie here it might look like its a bit of a ruckass over nothing, but the 'matter' matter has been going on for some time, with promises of delivery dates, somegoing back to the beginning of the year, expectations of what is in the box etc etc. its not just a case of signed up for a freebie, and if it gets here thats a plus. Matter themselves have been building up the anticipation for along time, then the promise of a delivery date, and then again cancelled the day before. one email said something on the lines of ''your matter box will be arriving tommorrow, we are letting you know to make sure you will be in to collect it from the postman,'' or something along those lines.makes it sound promising doesnt it!

    Soem people say they havnt lost anything, and if a freebei doesnt turn up then oh well. The fact is though, when you give your details out, they can then be used and sold on for marketing purposes. our information is valuable to them, and therefore if we dont get anything in return it is a bit unfair.

    but you are getting something in return, it's just that the stuff isn't as good as some of you built it up to be.

    Well its Matter Day Eve and I am looking forward to receiving my matter box tomorrow whatever it contains, I am grateful for any kind of free stuff even pet food (I dont have any pets but I know people who do).

    Sometimes free stuff takes months to appear, sometimes it doesnt appear at all but when it does appear it is a welcome surprise.:D
