warning re perfume sample

Options
Hi

I don't know if anyone has had this problem before but am posting for others' benefit.

I signed up for a free sample of Gucci Guilty. However, postage was not paid by the sender and as it came from Switzerland, it cost me £1.53 for a small card - obviously I wouldn't have paid if I had known what it was.

    Mine and hubbys came though ok with no postage to pay. I would send them a message on Facebook and see if they do anything for you.

    Okay silly question?

    Gucci Guilty is widely available in department stores, why not just go in and ask for one?

    Not everyone lives near to or visits a department store on a regular basis.

    Boots ? Superdrug ? Lots of places sell it.

    The sample was available via Facebook as a freebie. I wasn't that bothered to go into store to get a sample and wouldn't have paid the postage if I'd have known what the item was

    To be honest never trust the freebies on Facebook, there is always a catch.
