How The Free Envelope Samples Work...
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY? ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS FILL OUT THE FIELDS BELOW.

UNLIKE YOUR JACK OF ALL TRADE OFFICE STATIONARY WEBSITES, WE ONLY SUPPLY ENVELOPES AND PAPERS, AND BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS FULLY STOCKED WE POST OUT TO YOU THE VERY SAME DAY NOT JUST SAMPLES OF THE ENVELOPES THAT INTEREST YOU MOST.......

.....BUT WITH 1 OR 2 PROFESSIONALLY SELECTED ALTERNATIVES AS A BONUS
.....BECAUSE AS YOU'LL COME TO FIND OUT, WE'RE GOOD LIKE THAT

Oh terrific!

So that poor company is offereing GENUINE customers a sample of their product, all of which costs them time and money to do, so the customer can make an informed decision about what to buy.

Now YOU are encouraging the Forum to apply for samples to be used as FREE crafting materials! The company will be inundated with sample requests and won't be able to differentiate between GENUINE prospective customers and people just wanting a freebie. The offer will be withdrawn and everyone loses out.
I KNOW this because MY sample request feature was similarly abused last year by "Crafters"
If the company has any sense, they'll send the envelopes out heavily marked all over as "Sample Product" etc in marker pens to make re-use very difficult.

This is a VERY sore subject for me....:rotfl::mad:

OP, I'm not trying to shoot you down and you're not the first to post such things, I'm just trying to get people to see it from the other side. It's not like this is a big company like WHSmith or Staples, they're one of the little guys.....
