Funny enough, I’m trying PCMC for the first time at the moment. Initially I thought it was a bit too scented and not rich enough, but i agree the scent fades quickly and I’m really liking the cream. If only it wasn’t so expensive…

I had a job interview with PCMC once. It was the Paper Converting Machinery Company. They made the machines that were used to make toilet rolls etc.

So the workplace involved gadgets too.

The machines were huge, as big as a house. And they let me take as many loo rolls and boxes of tissues as I could carry (it is a perk of the job for the employees)

Wow much like QVC presenters perks then

Back in the day Cadburys would allow new employees to eat as much chocolate as they could on their first day because it guaranteed they never wanted to eat again. I'm not sure about the hygiene implications of this act of generosity.

All I got in my job was heaps of marking to do every evening.

But there's only so many loo rolls that one person can use

10,000 sold on pre order sounds very low for the big Christmas tsv. I did order however, but maybe people that are unhappy with the brand are voting with their feet.

I looked at the feedback. Some people are very happy with their orders and that’s great. But the negative comments about the changes to products keep coming….. and also the condition of the packaging, ie cheap! This is the third TSV now that’s had really poor reviews overall….. surely someone at HQ is looking at this…

 

[China Girl]

I think people are wising up to the change in formulas, and are not happy.

I agree. People are voting with their purses. Never known TSV‘s from LE to get such bad reviews

 

[MrMarple]

I can’t remember where but I read something recently where someone said that the new shower gel bottles look like they belong in the Tesco Value range.
And now that they’ve said it, that’s all I can see now, they really do just look ‘cheap’.

Decleor did exactly the same with their packaging, looked cheap. That might be OK if it's to save money and the saving is passed on to the customer (not!), but if you're buying for a gift you want it to look like you've spent a bit of cash and not found it in the bargain basement.

I saw that, in one of the reviews on qvc…… that is truly shocking

 

[ClaireKelly]

Just had a look to see if any of the versions had sold out. None of them. And the bad reviews keep coming…..

 

[China Girl]

They were going on and on about the new packaging and fancy tissue paper.
Never mind that, what about the actual products? or don't the terrible reviews matter?
Take note LE, you are on a downward slope......look at Decleor if you need an example.

It’s actually like watching a car crash in slow motion…. I’m so sad, I’ve loved their products for so many years. But they’ve only themselves to blame.

Just looking at the early reviews on the le tsv and they're not great. Scared to open mine now haha.

I think the TSV's are too close to each other

I had a look at some of the reviews. the new 'fragrance' is not popular.
One had to wash off the lotion as it made her smell like a pack of cigarettes, another mentioned moth balls.
There's going to be an awful lot of returns by the sound of it.......then what?
