Today I received a Thank you parcel from FP containing a girl shirt in size M and three “post cards”. I have no use for the shirt, so this goes directly into the trash bin. One card contains a reminder with the 349EUR discount which would be somewhat helpful for giving it to someone looking for a n…

Hi all, I hope my reply can bring some more information on this, and if you have any more remarks, questions, please let me know. The ‘Thank you’ package was sent to crowdfunders as a special gift to celebrate our 5 Years anniversary moment and the investment round. With the intention of a nice g…

I also got the useless marketing package (t-shirt, cholcate bar, postcards) which annoyed me a lot. It’s not only that it wastes resources, it also costs money - which I think they should rather invest in a fairphone 3 with a decent camera. It was a bad timing because Fairphone was bugging me about…

I’ll send it back. How they guessed the size?

Every company that wants to be successful (be it to make a lot of money or to affect changes in the world) has to do some kind of marketing and personally I think this is much better than what most other companies do. [image] aasdfj2438: It was a bad timing because Fairphone was bugging me abou…

I, too, received a shirt, chocolate and cards. I don’t object. The shirt was too small for me and my wife (aged 69) will not wear it. It will go to a charity shop and hopefully advertise Fairphone to a whole new customer base!

If you receive something of value for free, you can give it away or sell it. It might cost you some time or effort, but you will help someone else that way.

For me are the goodies of fairphone not helpfully or belong the to the destination of a better world. Fail. It feels like cheap catching for sympathy. I thought to convertible the loan. But now: No.

I was also irritated about the parcel. Lucky: the T-Shirt seems to be my size. But Fairphone does not know it - it seemed to be a guess. Asking me before would have been safer… The parcel seemed to be sent by a marketing agency, because it is another city: Utrecht instead of Amsterdam. I received …

My shirt doesn’t fit me, either. But I’m positive I’ll find someone who wants to wear it. To put things into perspective: 1827 people took part in the crowdinvestment, so that’s the number of packages that were sent by Fairphone. I’d assume the shirt was the biggest cost and the rest can be neglec…
