$3.33 + $0.00 buys 6-pack of floss tensioner,  online???---(5 stars
guaranteed)

This is the 68th 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.
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 which would be included in the price .
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 (free shipping and handling, not certified)?
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 (free shipping and handling, not certified)?

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?

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
(free shipping and handling, certified)?

Please stop posting your marketing survey and bribing researchers with
five stars to answer it.

1. 5 stars is not a bribe but a hint that in this case the only thing
what is needed is the researchers truthwhorthiness  and that it is
assumed a-priori by me.
You can check all my comments. 
2. I would apriciate if you could clarify in name of who are you
warning me re.
"marketing".  
I think that what you call "marketing" is first of all an honest
warning: 'Editors,please check it out, maybe  rnh-ga is right re. this
question here?!! '

I responded, with a comment, to an earlier post:

"Have you seen this already-existing product, 
 which is quite convenient, and, though not 
 flat, very pocketable?" : 
 http://www.flosbrush.com/

I will elaborate under your current format.

1. Is it clear from this web-page how to use this product, and how
many minutes have you (the researcher) spent on it?

The images could improve. I've looked at the page 3 times,
for a total of about 5 minutes. The images are grainy, for 
one thing, and unappealing to view. In the image for 6-8 inch
floss, the transition from step 4 to 5 is unclear. The 
image for 14-19 inch clears things up a bit. 
The product itself looks crude and unappealing.

2. Floss tensioners (with no floss) could be delivered by USPS in a
$0.40 non-certified mail which would be included in the price .
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 (free shipping and handling, not certified)?
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?

The price is fine, and I would order online if I was interested.
Again, I would prefer the flosbrush unit.

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 (free shipping and handling, not certified)?

Again, the price is good, and a big company would promote
confidence, but I would still prefer the flosbrush.
 
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) ?

Again, I would not buy this item, at any price, online,
or in a grocery store or drug store. It is too
complicated in contrast to the way the flosbrush feeds
floss from an inner spool, and provides a cutter to trim
the excess after feeding a new length.
 
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
(free shipping and handling, certified)?
What is the longest delivery time you would accept?

Delivery ought to occur in a very short period. The flosbrush
is sold in Walgreens and has the advantage of being an 'impulse'
item. If the need is perceived at the time, the product can be
bought immediately. Someone perceiving the need to floss is not
likely to be comfortable about waiting longer than a few days
to fulfill that perceived need.

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?

Again, I would not buy this product. The price is not an issue,
nor the availability. It is a matter of design and ease of use.

Please take no offense at my honesty.

Thank you very much.
