StilettoSuicide Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Hi guys! Just curious if anybody has ever been asked by Pinecone to return the item they were given to test when they were finished with it? I just did one, got the item, tested it, completed the follow up survey, and at the end they asked me to send back the product. I don't have a problem with it, I just thought it was kinda strange and now I'm curious if this is something they do from time to time, or if they're mad at me LOL!

peach6 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I have had to return products sometimes it's not to bad because they usually send you the pre paid envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntress Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 There was a thread here recently about returning a toothbrush. The panelist was sent a prepaid envelope. I also just completed a toothbrush test, but no request to return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeriousSurveyer Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm so over these research companies requesting test products to be returned; have had a few of those lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StilettoSuicide Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Now, they did say I'd get a postage paid envelope to return it AND that I'd be compensated if I sent it back, and I was also given the option to say "no" (as in I wouldn't return the item to them). But really, what are they going to do? Repackage and sell the thing? LOL That toothbrush thing creeps me out, gives me all sorts of Mulder type thoughts Rtsl35 - You know I'm not allowed to tell It smelled nice, that's all I'll say.

Never messed with Pinecone RESEARCH and after reading your posts I don't want too!!!!!!!!!!!! That's stupid asking you to return items you tested espicially a toothbrush!!!!!!! They probably want to see if you actually received it that's why they're asking you to send it back. Wouldn't bother with them unless they're rewards were good!!!!

Njsurveyman Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I would like to join Pinecone but cant find a link on their website. Does anyone have a direct sign up link for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfree Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I would like to join Pinecone but cant find a link on their website. Does anyone have a direct sign up link for them? The only way to join them is if you see a banner where they are excepting new members or sometimes they ask the members to send out referrals.I think that's why most people want to join them they make it feel like a exclusive club,that everyone would like to be a member of.And they are okay but they are not the best survey site to make a lot of money from.
