Disappointing OLAY website giveaway

[jad13]

Today's free sample giveaway on the OLAY CANADA website was a shambles! They originally announced that they had 20000 to give away and then only had 1500. You were very very lucky if you got one of them ... the website failed to function properly TWICE (time to hire better IT guys!) ... I waited there for about 4 hours which was bad enuff, but there were people who said they'd been there all day!
When they finally did get the page working, they were out of samples within 3 minutes (because they had hyped it up everywhere and had over 60000 LIKES - they got over 5000 just while I was there this afternoon!). Some people said they got them, some didn't, some thought it was their area ... there was total confusion. OLAY posted at one point it "wouldnt be long" and 7 hours later posted ASAP and then it was about 5 more hours after that before it finally started (for some). Shameful OLAY. Hopefully they'll put out some whopping good coupons to make up for this.

The funny thing was I missed the giveaway...or so I thought. Someone had posted that they were all out when I checked, then a few seconds later it was live again. lol. I did get it in the end.

I think they were having some technical difficulties yesterday. I feel bad that so many people complained about not getting the sample and saying such awful things on the facebook page because after all, they were being nice to give away 1500 full size samples. I guess I was lucky enough to check in at the right time and ended up getting one.

You ladies that did get one are lucky!

I would be dissappointed too, but am glad I didn't try for it..... that would of been a lot of waiting.

Well, at least I got a free Schick razor while I was waiting (That was a much better way of doing a giveaway).

I find these FB "like us" giveaways a bit troublesome. I don't seem to have good luck with them because I am never one of the lucky ones who receive anything. Poop on Olay??!

I was disappointed in this one too! Seems like when they did have them that they were all gone like 30 sec

I was trying to get one for a lady friend and was at my computer all day... thank goodness for the free razor!

Well it was definatly a mess, and soooo many people that waited <myself included> that did not get any..... I think Olay is a good product, but this deffinetly put a bad light on them... at least on their fb page dealings.

thats was sooo mading. First it said it was live noon and it didn't happen. So someone called coustomer service they say its done automatic and since it wasnt noon it be close to midnight. Then it went to over demanding crap and its a giveaway. Next time Google crome and auto fill

Free is free. At least they tried to give it a go. I will still use their product.

I tried for it but couldn't wait around for it and the giveaway was glitchy so I didn't get one. The blacklash was nuts though, I wouldn't be surprised if they only give out coupons from now on
