Every freebie that i ever receive has been tampered with so i believe that the postmen nick them or some of the sorting staff if there good dont get me wrong i have received hell of alot of the freebies that ive gone for x

So far received 22/32 freebies that I've requested - so not bad going. Some of them though from a while back have not materialised at all, and I can't cast aspersions on the posties here as the community is only 200 people. I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all, it's just as other people say some companies are better than others etc. etc. Just keep trying !

Hello!

A lot of the samples/freebies I send off for do turn up eventually, but I am carefull who I give my details to. Luckily there's very helpful MSE'ers on here for who report spam quickly and so others dont fall for it.

The bigger companies are usually better at sending out product samples,

Nivea always send me sample sachets of new products-so id try them if youre interested in beauty/make up items.

Also its worth reading 'what freebies have you received today?' thread, and see what has been arriving. Keep a note of the reputable companies who do deliver.

I have had great success from emailing different companies and asking for samples, but only if it is relevant/i need that product ie personally eczema creams try before buy.....once lots of people start enquiring and going mad the companies sometimes refuse to send sampples out because of too much interest!

One big tip- don't be greedy! and only ask for things you will use or need!

ps-keep going, things will arrive in the end!

I'm lucky cos I've had loads in the past month or so, thanks to folks on here. You have to be real quick in some cases. The Original Source shower gel went like lightning once I'd posted it.
I also have a great postie

Hi. Like many of the posts, I receive most of mine. Do u notice how many people respond to freebie ads? I once posted a freebie + was amazed at how many people checked it out. Within about half hour the site was closed. Good luck
