    Is it me, or could you order 1,000,000 envelopes? I'm tempted to try it, but don't want to either:

    A) be very disappointed
    or
    B) Have great trouble getting through the front door with 20,000 packs of 50 envelopes waiting for me on the other side!

    I suppose it would be somewhat unfair to my postie too! If it isn't enough him having to post an envelope full of envelopes!

    Has anyone else tried to order 1,000,000?!

    I don't know what I would do with them either! Shame they don't come with stamps too! :)

    No you couldn't :
    If you want a sample of more than one style of envelope, repeat the process for each code you require. Please DO NOT add the same product more than once and DO NOT change the quantity from "50 envelopes". (You won't receive 50 envelopes anyway, of course)
    but you CAN order lots of different styles ... im doing that right now, randomly selecting some now :-)
    please order all your samples at once, on a single order, to help us keep our postage costs down.

    Free shopping .. Shopping at its best huh?!

    Thanks for the heads up Chambeli :T

    EDIT:
    after re-reading, they "reserve the right to limit orders to avoid abuse" So I ordered 5 different styles... love it
    embarrassed to say I used to work for barclays..sorry

    I received one jiffy bag this morning :)
    No hole in it, just '2104' written on the back, doesn't worry me it's a free envelope after all!

    lol...seems like a waste on their behalf, if they have a hole in them and the sticker which doesnt come off easily.

    I think you're forgetting why they're giving these away. The idea isn't just to oblige freeloaders/moneysavers, but to show businesses what sorts of goods are available.

    They haven't wasted their money, *you* have!!

    I trust people have noted their text :"IN RETURN for this service, we simply ask that, during the check out process, you tell us the nature of your business and/or your reason for wanting these sample envelopes. We also appreciate any suggestions to help us improve our product range and service. And if you are one of those who are just trying to get something for free, please tell your friends about us and hopefully one of them will spend some money!"
  • got a few myself ! many thanks to the OP!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
