product test question

[BBELEAZAHR]

I was just wondering if anyone out there has done any product tests lately. I just received two today and I was so excited untill I opened the box and they enclosed a letter with instructions on how to return it after the 14 day trial. A month ago I did one for cough spray and later they sent me a letter asking for it back. Why do they want it back (I am sure they will just through it away anyways) For taking the time to test it, I should beable to keep it. One of the ones I got today was for aveno diaper rash cream, now really do they need that back? The other was for a lotion warmer, and I dont want to give this one back. :motz:

Just use all of the product, and there's nothing to return. If I like products, I usually use all of it before the test is over. If I don't like it, I'm glad to send it back.

I did a test recently for a soft drink. They wanted the empty bottles back.

I've done a panty liner test and a hand lotion test that wanted the un-used portions returned. I kept back a few of the panty-liners but sent all of the lotion/soap thingy back. Im just glad to test a few things out.

I haven't done product testing lately, but I have sent products that were unused back to the company. I don't know why they want it but there's a reason behind it though.

I havent had any that wanted anything back yet but I think it might have to do with them wanting to keep them a secret maybe??? I mean we actually agree to NOT talk about what we are testing to other ppl sometimes I am not even supposed to let others in my house use the testers

I got a package today, haven't read thru all the inst., but I've had to send back products before, to me , its silly, a waste of money & resources (gas & packaging)

thanks Juli67 thats exactly what I was thinking! Theres no way they could tell who sent theres back and who didnt.

Just reply back to them that there is no product left to return!

I've never had to return a product and don't believe that I would.
