Absolute shit showā¦ Itās really not hard to organise for some merchandise to be printed and delivered.

To be fair to Freetrade the pandemic temporarily closed a lot of the businesses and they were not in the office to package up and post the rewards either (thatās what they did for previous rounds I think).
My only thing is that is getting too warm to wear a Freetrade hoodie / jacket. Then again, with the British summer who knows it might come in handy

I agree it was tricky with the pandemic. But stillā¦ where thereās a will thereās a way.
I think for the next round Freetrade should drop the physical merch. Itās clearly too much hassle.

Iām still waiting for my Investor R6 in this forum 
probably the supplier has run off with it or it takes effort to package it up and go through with each investor.

For me personally the excitement of receiving any rewards for my investment in the company has disappeared now. I am definitely disappointed with the amount of delay, especially after having submitted my preferences twice in response to their emails. To some extent it reflects on how efficient the company is in getting things done. Sorry to say but Iāll be looking to invest in some of itās upcoming competitors now instead.

Thatās a strange first comment from an investor. Ofcourse the freebies are a nice touch but youād base your investment decisions on more than their ability to mail hoodies I hope. (?)

I dunno. I know a few people who invested in Brewdog solely for the perks.
TBF many would value how a company does the simple things like this as to whether they would trust them to fulfil the important things.

And a solid defence for the company coming from an R5 investor with a hostile comment on my personal choice is not strange at all! 
I might not be as good with my investment choices like you, but I do understand a thing or two about delivering up to someoneās expectations. Sorry but I find it a bit hard to justify that investors should have any different expectations than customers when it comes to delivering on promises.

If you were unhappy with FTs ability to develop their product then I would be inclined to agree that theyāve missed my expectations.
Their ability or inability to develop their product upto investorās expectations is a different topic I believe.
Unless you think they did not even deliver what they had committed to product wise. I havenāt followed their product roadmap yet so I might not be in the best position to comment on that. But as a customer too, I am not quite satisfied with the product either. Iāll probably reserve my comments regarding that for another thread.
With regards to the investor rewards that they had used as a carrot to lure naive investors (like me maybe) though, I think their execution has not matched at all with what was being sold. I am yet to read a post from an R6 investor who has received their perks. And by perks I mean not just the hoodies, I mean something as basic as an investor badge. Thatās a software thing and shouldnāt take a year for 1 icon to be added to the profiles. I have an idea of how fast paced the industry is, and how quickly the competitors can catch up.
I donāt give 2 f**ks when I receive my hoodie. All I want for Christmas 2022 is a 2-3 billion valuation
