  • I sent for this on Saturday and got an email today saying that they were not aware that they were currently offering free samples!

    Looking at the link, where is the free sample offered? :confused:

    I see the link to 'sample page', but that offers various sample packs priced from £2.50 plus VAT and delivery.

    Specifically it states:
    We don't give away free dvd-r samples as in the past unfortunately this was abused on a number of occasions, but we are extremely competitive...

  • There was one free, then suddenly it disappeared! I guess too many people were requesting samples!
  • I think this is one of the problems with the popularity of freebie boards. Companies sometimes just don't realise how many people are out there looking for something for nothing ;-)

    Sometimes people *do* get greedy and abuse sample request systems, sometimes people just ask for anything that's free (whether they need it or not), but ultimately will freebie boards become a victim of their own success? I hope not!

    Maybe they did once give away a free dvd-r, at least that's what they imply, but not within the last 12 months they haven't

    Doubt it. They'll see the referral and this very chat which is just people wanting a free dvd-r and not interested in buying ;) (think it's a company/large order type sample orginally)
