This is the 65th version of my question (re. patented new floss
holder), and it is reposted due to changes. The floss holder's page:
http://www.geocities.com/emailerss/
 
Only researchers who have never answered my, googel-ga’s  questions
are invited to provide answer here (comments would be welcome). From
others any answer is good, 5 stars. Thank you.
 
This floss tensioner is good for about 250 flossing of all the teeth
each time( 250 use).
 
Please answer the questions briefly, while your  comments following
the  brief answer would be welcome.
1. Is it clear from this web-page how to use this product, and how
many minutes have you (the researcher) spent on it?
 
2. Floss tensioners (with no floss) could be delivered by USPS in a
$0.40 non-certified mail .
21.If a small US company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, then   would you place your first order online in the amount
of $3.33 for a six-pack?
22.If ‘no’, what order would you like to place, in $ and how many f.
tensioners would you expect for the money ?
23.Would you place your order as soon as you were offered the product
online?
 
  
 
31. If a big US company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, but the product would belong to and come from a small US
company then   would you place your first order online in the amount
of $3.45 for a six-pack?
 
32. If ‘no’, what order would you like to place, in $ and how many f.
tensioners would you expect for the money ?
33. Would you place your order as soon as you were offered the product
online?
 
 
4. Would you like to buy, and what is the highest price you would pay
for a sixpack in a grocery store (not online) ?
 
5. If a big US company would take the orders and promise the 
delivery, but the product would belong to and come from a not 
American company --outside the US-- in certified mail then   would you
place your first order online in the amount of $3.45 for a six-pack?
What is the longest delivery time you would accept? 
42. If ‘no’, what order would you like to place, in $ and how many f.
tensioners would you expect for the money ?
43. Would you place your order as soon as you were offered the product
online?

Greetings Googel --

We researchers admire your persistence!  (Just be careful not to
misspell your screen name because your questions could end up locked
until Google reviews them.

Here goes:

1.  Clear HOW to use it -- no why, what problems does it solve, how it
overcomes objections.  I spent 5 minutes making sure that I took
advantage of all information available.

2.  No problems with a small company and orders under $10, though I'd
be a little nervous.  A BBB or other accreditation on the site would
ease customers' fears.

A common problem with ordering off the web is that the item is
inexpensive, but then mailing, handling and sales taxes are added --
increasing the cost by as much as 100%.  You've handled that -- good!

I wouldn't place the order because of doubts about the usefulness of
the product for me:
a.  I have a bridge and it's another piece of gear
b.  it appears large
c.  I'm not very adventurous when it comes to medical/dental stuff.

3a.  Company size doesn't matter.  Six seems to be a good number; but
that's about 6 years of flossing for me.

More important: I'd like to see it at retail.  Is it really as big as
it appears?

3b/c  I'd be unlikely to order on-line for the reasons immediately
above.  Two would probably be good for me (even at $3.50).

4.  I'd buy a six-pack for as much as $4.99.

5.  I'm not interested in dealing with the complexities of getting a
product delivered from outside the U.S. -- not even Canada.  What am I
supposed to do about Customs declarations for an item this size?  How
do I track it?  Do I have to call Canada (or wherever) to track it?

6.  Internet delivery time should be within 7-10 days.  Lots of us
still haven't adjusted to the post anthrax nonsense and think that
first class mail should be delivered within 3-4 days.

Again, particularly for new products in categories where I'm not
comfortable, I'd like to see it at retail.  People are not uniform in
their willingness to buy products off the Internet -- I'd do it
willingly for most software, but I'm very familiar with the category. 
I only bought the first toiletry off the 'net a week ago (and then
because I was going after a product already purchased at retail).

Good luck with everything Googel!

Best regards,

Omnivorous-GA

I think that $2.50 could have never buy me more and better advice than yours.
Of course your "admiration" of my persistence intrigues me.
Thank you very much, indeed.
