Clixresearch - what a cheek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This will all make you laugh!!!! Bit of a story though!!!

I had a card put through the door yesterday from royal mail informing me that a package is currently at their sorting office with a charge of £2.72.
Now I can either pay the outstanding charge in stamps and post the card that was informing me of the charge or I can go to the sorting office and pick it up myself. I had at the time, no idea what it was and thought it might be the HDTV I won on tickbox.... not!!!!!!!
I didn't do any of these and rang the sorting office - I asked them if I should come over in the car (7miles away) to pick the item up...they said 'No - just pay the postman tomorrow morning".

This morning their was a knock on the door... I paid the postman £2.72 and he handed me over a small package... and told "listen love you've been ripped off".

I opened the package - thinking what on earth can it be as it had some weight to it.

Needless to say I was blo*dy fuming!!!

Clixresearch hadn't paid for the postage and you will not believe what they had sent me....




AFTERSUN Lotion - its February!!!! what on earth!!!! Its winter!!!
So after the cheek of it I calmed myself down and thought well I'll use it in summer you never know if we get some good weather....

Guess what!!!! I looked at the product again and it expires 12/04/2012, April!!!!!! arghhh!!!!!!!!!!

The cheeky gits!!!!

Good eh!

Oh did you apply for the after sun lotion trial? As i have an account with them & they keep sending me emails to join various trials, but from experience i don't like their trials compared to other ones i have done in the past. The litmus test panel is far better & unlike clix research they send you gift vouchers after for your time ;)

Hi lizzie, hope your feeling better now? Here is a link to the Litmus Test home page http://www.thelitmustest.com let me know if it works. I get about 2/3 trials a year from them but i think that just depends on your profile ;) They rewarded me last year with Boots vouchers, after each trial for about £3-£5 depends on the trial.

Oh, you do get paid for the trials? Thank you very much for the link Shelly. I thought you just did the tests and got samples and told them what you think...I luuuuurve Boots vouchers almost as much as Tesco vouchers!! LOL

Your welcome Lizzie, it does say on their site that they don't pay you just that you get to keep sample after. But again think that depends on the trial, to wheteher you recieve vouchers or not. ;)
