Freebies - why don't they arrive?

julliff

Hello,

does anyone else have the same problem as me?

I have applied for loads of free samples and trial sizes etc from links on this site, and not a single one of them has turned up.

Can anyone shed any light on this please? What am I doing wrong?

thanks!

some just dont, they just collect your details. others run out of stock, others get lost in the post ... keep trying, i seem to get most of mine, keeps the postman busy busy

I have doubt on my postman.
I order 2 freebies from same company / site one at workplace and another at home. I get stuff @ work but not at home. While work is a commercial (non residence address)
Ofcourse I did for trial and can't keep ordering things to workplace. but this shows something wrong with my post. I can't complaint as I have no concrete proof.

A lot of sites offer phoney freebies and "harvest" your details; email addresses are particularly sought after for some reason, it's one reason you should always use a disposable email address.

Most of the freebies I have ordered using links on this site have arrived but some take months and months before they put in an appearance. The Nescafe mug that I asked for in October arrived in December so these things do take time. Sometimes though I have blagged stuff by contacting the company directly saying that I would like to try before I buy - as a result I got a load of free samples from Simple.

some companies are only after email addresses and only send out a small amount of samples..
i find that out of 10 i may receive 2 samples..
so tbh i dont bother now unless its a good one!!

I get most of the freebies I apply for but I'm quite picky on who I give my address to.
Some sites only want your details so beware of that.
Other sites can be misleading in that it's a competition.
One of the make-up sites (can't remeber whether it's maybelline, revlon or Max factor) frequently offer giveaway of say 10 mascaras.
Your chances of winning one of 10 are very small, so I would say be quite choosy about what you apply for, lots are just after your details.

I get most of my freebies also and got some from France as well though cannot remember name of company.
My postman is now on first name terms with me :eek: decent honest bloke.
Though when he was on hols said to my OH look no freebies so does make you wonder.

You're probably not doing anything wrong !

Some reputed freebies posted here are nothing but :spam: , so you have to be very careful what you sign up for.
Some are limited time offers and may have expired without anyones knowledge.
Some are limited to a certain number of customers. Many sites won't tell you when that limit has been met.
Some get 'lost' (pinched) in the post.

I don't apply for all the freebies on here, but those I do I'd say I receive about 75% of them which isn't too bad.

Remember to never use your main e-mail address for freebies. Use another specifically for freebies just incase you to start to receive :spam: !
