    Definitely emailing for the address to get some samples. Considering the 70g and 110g bars are good prices I'm tempted to buy anyway.

    Hi all

    Just a quick update, due to the overwelming response to this 350 and counting.....WOW! I have had to stop the completely free samples and charge 70p postage offset against any future orders. I think this means it should be moved to the low spend forum. I had hoped 50p would cover the stamp but sadly paypal takes 22p and the stamp is 47p because of the thickness of the sample and I really wanted people to get more than a 4mm sliver! I hope this does not put too many people off. All requests already received will go out within timescales agreed.

    Anyway thanks for all your posts and kind feedback

    Sarah


    Thank you for the update Sarah!

    However if people pay you through paypal as a 'gift' you wont get charged fees. At least I am sure you dont

    Just a heads up. I paid 70p and my two tiny slivers arrived today.One of which is barely big enough to use. Feel free to send for samples if you wish folks and I hope you get a better deal than I. Pity really as they smelt lovely. Will have to use the envelope as an expensive drawer liner.

    I agree very disappointed with the size. They looked like tiny pieces of toffee when I opened the envelope just 1 handwash and they were gone felt quite disappointed after paying for the postage.

    Same here grunnie . That is why I posted. I was under the impression by paying the postage we would get 2 soaps.I am in no way slagging off the company/person/posters here but I was rather disappointed especially as they smelt very nice and I was considering actually purchasing if satisfied with samples.

    You smelt them didn't you? You got to use them?

    Then i suggest you make your mind up.

    The owner of the business just started up, I dont think there a big corporation like radox etc and that they will give you 2 massive soaps.

    Seriously, If you where to spend less than £3 on a a decent size i am sure you will not be disappointed!

    Just be greatful for what you get lol Not trying to be rude!

    Like someone said its the same cost of a big of crisp (In a real expensive shop! lol)

    Info from the site:
    The samples will be enough for 6-10 handwashes and to enable you to appreciate the scent and softness of our soap.

    Hi

    The soaps that are out of stock should be ready in about 4 weeks, that's how long it takes to be made and ready. The Lavender soap is lovely for little ones, I use it on my 1 year old and have done since she was born, helps with the bed, bath routine as Lavender promotes sleep. As for postage there is a button to add to the cart although I am in the process of changing it as people keep missing it.

    Thanks for all your lovely feedback, it has been an interesting few days!

    Sarah

    Sarah there is a way to add postage automatically in the cart, I am sure you can email paypal about it.

    Decided to send for the samples, peppermint wake-up and the cinnamon and orange was not dissapointed, both samples are enough for me to try twice in the shower!. They smell lovely and are very soft, will be buying soon. Thanks again Sarah much appreciated. :T
