Read it again lads, says they will investigate and get back within 2 weeks.... no mention of sending razor out

Hi Seve OB and thanks for your email.
Thank you for your email to Mr Lafley who has noted your comments and asked me to respond on his behalf.
We would like to investigate why you haven’t yet received your razor, please can you supply us with your full name and postal address to enable us to do this. We should be able to get back to you in the next two weeks.
Thank you very much for your patience.
Kind regards,
Joanne

I'm also pretty sure they didn't even read my email of complaint because I had my name and address in there in the first place

It's a reply at least, but it's all a bit wishey washey.

Why would it take 2 weeks & what is there to to investigate?

They've had the precise issue spelled out to them by numerous folks on countless occasions.

Just send the damned razor already.

I emailed them on Friday and got the following reply this morning.

Good morning,

This promotion has now finished and all that have qualified have now received their razor.

There will be future promotions available if you wish to apply.

Kind regards,

On behalf of the P&G promotional team

Even some chinese merchant selling 20c flashlights would be after telling us all to eff off or just plain ignoring us at this stage. We'd complain for a while then the thing would die.

The complete inconsistency of P&Gs responses here keeps giving people hope. Or entertainment.

6 months of PR shambles is surely a Boards record - this thread should run until they just ignore us or everyone receives a definitive no. Or heh, maybe even the razor they offered us for our personal details.

People still waiting on their razor?

I now have 2 razors. I sent them a few facebook messages and was told to email them. They then sent one out a week or so after I emailed them. Then a few weeks later I randomly got another one in the post. Happy days. Very happy with it.

Same, the second one arrived loose without the outer packaging. Delighted!

So the first crowd that had the contract disappeared into night with our details ( or P&G are just mangey scabby sh!tes - ie they have the razors and the details but you need to hound them to keep their end of the bargain), and now P&G want me to sign up for facebook to get onto them about the razor. Do they have any other ways they want me to divulge personal information before they follow through on the initial deal?

It's enough to turn you to being a beardy hipster...

Didn't get the free razor so I bought a straight razor. You can get 100 blades for around €3. Bargain!

If they were serious about this they would have got onto boards for a verified account and sorted it out here about 5 months ago...

In the scheme of things, boardsies would not register on their Richter scale.

I honestly cannot believe how much of a lather so many people are getting into over something they didn't get, for free if you wouldn't be minding.

PR disaster???

Talking of a Gillette talk to forum to try and sort it out???

Are people that hard up for a razor???

Is that why there are so many people sporting beards nowadays?

Jesus wept, some of you really have little to be worrying about.

ow.

Put it this way - if I was over whoever ran this or contracted the company that it was outsourced to, I wouldn't be asking them to do any more for me.
