For the first 100 people that become "Friends of Geronimo" they are giving a free sample pack of their 3 flavours. They are brisbane based and just starting out but damn its the best beef jerky you will ever taste. REMEMBER go to "FRIENDS OF GERONIMO" and sign up there. Those who just sent emails might miss out……..
Mod - edited title and description.
Actually what it says is not that you will get a free sample of all 3 now, but that
"When the Big Chief has a new flavour he needs tasted, we want your opinions! The first 100 emailers to us when a new flavour is announced will be posted for free, a good sized sample and in return all we ask is what you think of it!".
As far as I can see, there's no new flavour just now needing sampling, so description of this bargain not quite correct.
There is an offer of a single free sample at http://www.geronimojerky.com/the-jerky.aspx
Well, the poster appears to be a Geronimo Jerky rep, so I think one should give them the benefit of the doubt rather than a neg vote… but yes, the offer mentioned in the post isn't stated anywhere on their website.
You will get a sample of the three flavours Spicy Sharman, Blazin Saddles and original!!!! Thats the big Chiefs promise :-)
Thanks big Chief, I'll give your note here a +ve to make up for my -ve…when I get my sample ;-)
Big Chief comes from the states and has had the recipe passed down from generation to generation….Thanks Mom
BigChief :-)
Signed up.
So Where do we buy this jerky, Can I order online. What are the prices?
Prices to come…..ordering soon…I just like praise :-)
Once you get your sample we would like honest feed back please….

Am I too late?
Is there any way guarantee that I get the sample & you'll have my honest feed back :)
Mod - removed "shouting".
emailed through my details, hopefully I get a jerkey pack. Anything has to be better than Jacks at Coles/Woolies, that shit is nasty.
damn straight, I got some on special the other day and it was woeful, I think they mislabelled some schmackos! ;)
Looking forward to trying this stuff, I like a good jerky….hey, did I just say that in public! ;)
yeh, it's hard to believe that some of that stuff is actually meat.
Can't wait to try something new :)
Amen to that Quantocks
We have had so many signups its not funny…It started off with 25 singups then 100 and now I simply want people to taste, compair and buy so Yes I am going to take the chance and provide free samples to all so far.
I would hate for you not to be able to try it……….
Big Chief.
thanks mate. I just signed up too. Would like to try it out!
I just signed up is that enough? And it didnt have a field to enter country.
Cool! Just signed up too. Hope to receive the sample soon.

Anyone else?
EDIT: Server glitch? Works now.
Works for me, but at 499 clicks, no idea whether I'll get to try this great-sounding jerky..ah well. xD
All this talk of tasty jerky is making my mouth water. Only just signed up now so I don't think I'll get any, but here's hoping :)
The Geronimo Jerky Poster Girl looks to be an interesting competition as well. I may stick around to vote ;)
Can I get a sample of Laura?
Has this expired yet, i dont want to sign up if it has?
Check out the "Poster girl" competition! It is…pleasant!
hmmmm, so I give out my name, age, gender, home address, and e-mail address…. for the promise of something that, as yet, cannot be bought in stores or online, no photos or reviews of the product…………
Yes it's new…..and perhaps I'm being a little too suspicious………but I might just hang back on this for the moment
Cant wait to receive the sample!!
don't forget to post feedback on the taste, I'm keen to know :D
Awesome , I love Jerky especially the real hot stuff. Cant wait to try it! Good work Geronimo
+1, love it!
Just signed up. Nice deal.
NOTHING BETTER THAN THE PROMISE OF FREE JERKY. fingers crossed <3.
+1 - I've always wanted to try beef jerky, but never got around to buying some :)
so, has anyone got any yet?
Nope nothing for me , and i may have been one of the first to sign up :) i hope i dont get left feeling like a jerky waiting for it to turn up :)
Hello All,
I have had our guy do up 2 letters for people that made contact with us and also people that joined up…over 200 people did not become friends of Geronimo as they did not follow the instructions, they simply hit the contact button and said give me some free jerky please- Unfortunately they will miss out…
One of the letter’s for all the Americans that added us through various free sites that spawned from this site and lottos.com.au and the second letter you guys, the 2000+ that joined up in Australia as “Friends of Geronimo”.
We had the deal on this site as well as lottos.com.au and reached 100 fairly quickly..See email that will go out soon below-
HOW!
Thank you so much for joining and emailing our website.
We have been absolutely run off our feet here as the response to our website launching has been nothing short of astounding! Here we are thinking that we may be giving out 20-30 sample packs a week to the odd guy that likes beef jerky. Little did we know that within a week we would have 2,000 people requesting a taste of Geronimo Jerky, and as of today 26,239 people visiting our site!
Although we have only budgeted for the first 100 people that joined to be a Friend of Geronimo to receive a free sample, we will be working around the clock to make sure that as many of you 2,000 new members will be getting a FREE taste of Geronimo Jerky. It may take a little longer and we please ask for your patience, but rest assured, one day soon, your mailbox will be smelling of that fabulous marinated and mouth watering, prime beef - Geronimo Jerky!
In the meantime, check back soon to our site as we will have online ordering up soon and very, very soon, the first contestants of the Geronimo Jerky Poster Girl Competition will also be up. Remember if you know someone that looks hot in braids and has a killer smile, take some photos of them and get them to enter our competition!
We have a fantastic summer of activates, competitions, tastings of new flavours and lots of fun with our Geronimo Jerky Promo Girls, so keep an ear to the ground and get ready for some fun times ahead.
Big Chief
Hi Big Chief,
When will you send the samples out ?
+1, we'z gettin' powerful hungry down here Big Chief! ;)
I haven't seen the aforementioned email yet either? I got the signup one of course, but not the one posted above! When should we be expecting that as confirmation? ;)
[update] Yep, got the email today (6/10) too! Thanks Big Chief!
Looking forward to trying the jerky, and hoping it lives up to expectations coz I refuse to buy that "Jack Link" stuff from the supermarket anymore; and the dried beef from the asian grocery isn't quite the same taste as jerky IMHO! ;)
Just got this email today :)
Yay! Free jerky!
Hello everyone-
Everone that signed up correctly on our GJ site will be getting a free sample but due to the response it is going to take time.
We said the first 100 who signed up but as mentioned we had over 2000 sign up-alot from this sight but from various others too.
I have had a chat with my business partners and got the approval to send out to everyone who is a member of Geronio Jerky in Australia-again not cheap to do so be patient please.
We have struggled with emailing, something so simple but finding it difficult to send bulk mail -Having I.T. guy send out email as Bigpond didnt like us bulkemailing to much-
Any tips on sending let me know?
Thank you for your understanding……………
Big Chief
Can't wait to taste this jerky, thanks for keeping us posted :)
Thanks for understanding
From their website…….
Geronimo Jerky is made daily, packaged and sold that same week!
Anyone know where it is sold?
Sounds like its for real, Big Chief keeps popping in to keep us posted so will give him the benefit of the doubt!
Thanks Hvymetal-
We have taken delivery of our first batch of shirts which we will be giving away when the online store goes live (TBA) to any ozbargain member that is a "friend of Geronimo" and has bought a kilo of Jerky or more from us.
I am excited!!!!!!
I got the email last night that Big Chief posted on here on 28/9 that he said would be mailed out to people who signed up correctly and became Friends Of Geronimo, so i hope im one of the 2000 to get a sample, cant wait :) thanks Big Chief!
Looks like someone didnt understand the effect the might Ozbargain website has , i am wondering how much the kilo of jerky costs , a kilo phew
HI Chief,
Hows the jerky going ?? hopefully you will make good of your promise to send soon
So…..anyone got any yet?
not yet, looks like we're being jerked around… (I know you laughed :P)
Hello All,
h4lcyon, email us on our website attn Big Chief- Subject MY TURN and I will make sure your in the next batch-
I would hope in return you will give us fair comment and mention if you like it.
This will keep Andy happy in tell we get all of the samples out-
printing, sample bags, time and product x 2000 = $7800.00
printing, sample bags, time and product x 100 = $ 390.00
As mentioned we were only going to give to the first 100 members "(as above) Geronimo Jerky - FREE American Style Beef Jerky for the first 100 "Friends of Geronimo" " who signed up but I changed my mind and am giving it to all members that signed up in those first two weeks.
As a startup business I am in no major rush to give away an extra $7400 in a hurry so we are sending smaples once a week for as long as it takes to supply all members.
Thank you for your patients,
The Big Chief
Geronimo Jerky is made daily, packaged and sold that same week!
let folk know where they can buy it………………might make a bit of money back :)
Awesome, email sent - looking forward to it.
Thanks for the update on your approach, helps explain if you've yet to receive a sample and will hopefully stave off bad jokes like my one above :)
We have all been Jerked !!!
Bet no one else has receoved a free sample or if you have letus know !!
sounds to me like you're trying to get in the next batch of samples like h4lcyono did, nice try!! (though like you i'd like to hear if anyone did get a sample)
Well actually being one of the first to comment here and sign up you would think i would have been quite high on the que , but alas we will see reality
hmmm….46 positives….and no-one yet, (after a month and a half), seems to have got anything.
We have taken delivery of our first batch of shirts which we will be giving away when the online store goes live (TBA) to any ozbargain member that is a “friend of Geronimo” and has bought a kilo of Jerky or more from us.
I suspect we will see very few 'friends of Geronimo' t-shirts around…..if it takes this long for a sample bag, how long would a kilo take?
Hmmm, no jerky here yet either Big Chief…I'm fairly certain I'd have been one of the first 100 too, I joined up as soon as this was posted, long before I even made my first comment on it! :(
Hello All,
h4lcyon's sample has been sent-hopefully we get some feedback from him soon.
StewBalls,SeanBsydney and Mikinoz-shoot me an email from our site www.geronimojerky.com saying "my turn" in subject so I can inditifiy you from our ever growing list of memebers.
You will be next in line regardless.
Kind Regards,
The Big Chief
Done, thanks again Big Chief! :)
Got the sample(s) today, wow the blazin saddle is blazin hot (but tasty!), I preferred it to the original which I thought was still ok. Good option for a party or places where it's something different, will keep it in mind for Christmas - haven't tried jerky before but this would be my first choice now. Thanks for the sample!
As mentioned we were only going to give to the first 100 members “(as above) Geronimo Jerky - FREE American Style Beef Jerky for the first 100 “Friends of Geronimo” ” who signed up but I changed my mind and am giving it to all members that signed up in those first two weeks.
More than a month still no sign.
can i join the express queue haha
Hello All,

I shared it around the office, and everyone enjoyed it including me. I've never had jerky before so I'm glad to report that I would certainly buy it again!
The original is a kind of peppery tasting flavour, the blazing saddle was the nicest with a hot chilli tang :)
Thanks Big Chef, your jerky is noice :)
Thank you h4lcyon,
Our online ordering should go live tomorrow if not Monday they are just working out the bugs.
We have another batch for samples going on tomorrow night which means above mentioned queue jumpers :) should get their samples early to mid next week along with another 50 new memebers.
We will also run an Ozbargain Promotion shortly giving discounts so keep your eyes pealed…
Again thank you h4lcyon your feedback is greatly appreciated and also to let you know the original is now without cracked pepper corn that is just a sneak peak of what flavours are coming.
Take care all,
"The Big Chief"
http://www.geronimojerky.com/shop/shop.aspx
On line store now open as mentioned above if anyone is interested.
Special at the moment is a free Geronimo Jerky T-shirt with 1 kilo purchase.
More great deals coming through for members soon.
2000 samples at 50 delivered per week = 40 weeks = approx 10 months. Might take a while lol
Hello everyone,
The Big Chief greatly appreciate your patients and to be honest I do think you have been very very patient indeed-
I am going to fund the rest of the samples out of my own pocket so you get your samples quicker.
I will get 200 out this week and every week until everyone is chewing on Geronimo Jerky.
I truely hope this makes up for the delay and I hope you enjoy it and give me positive feed back.
Kind Regards,
The Big Chief
Hello Everone
50 samples have just gone out and 150 have been prepared for envelope stuffing tomorrow-I hate folding letters-Thanks alot guys :-)
The Big Chief
P.S. Stewballs-I put an extra one in yours ;-) I hope you like it and we get some ok feedback from all
Hi Everyone.
Ordering page is working now-
If anyone has an issues ordering let me know.
I will make sure that if anyone orders this week that their bags will have a little extra weight in them :-)
Take care…
The Big Chief
Hello All,
First of all Thank you for all your orders-We are taking off a fresh batch in 2 hours and will try and get it out this afternoon.
On Monday we sent out 50 samples to our members and Tuesday 150. Mondays was the Original flavour and Tuesdays was a mix of Blazin Saddles and Original- So be careful its hot but not insainly hot.
I hope you Like it if you get some in the next couple days.
The Big Chief
If we live local to Stafford, can we come into the store and buy over the counter?
It's an online store so safe to say there is no shop front.
@h4lcyon: Orry? My mistake, they must actually have a store. Hadn't checked out their contact details.
Guess you can go to their shop front.
Hello-In the new year we will be open to the public hopefully-If not I want to invite our members in for some taste testing against the top selling Jerky in Australia for a bit of blindfold fun.
I couldn't wait for my sample to arrive, I just placed an order for 1 small pack of each flavour. Here's to hoping that 1 or more of the flavours tickle my taste buds cause those 1kg bags sure do sound tempting. Jerky = YUMMM.
We arent open to the public at the moment-we are just set up as producers but shoot me an email or if you see the light on or us most likly we are cooking up a fresh batch :-) Please pop in and say Hello.
The Big Chief.
Just got my sample today! Thanks Big Chief.
Ive never tried Jerky before, but i gotta say this stuff is great! Looks like ive been missin out all these years.
Too bad half was already eaten by my sister before I got home today lol
Thanks once again!
This is a duplication of the comment I made on the other Geronimo T-shirt post for the benefit of anyone not following both, hope it helps! ;)
I got my sample today, thanks again Big Chief! Let me just say it was worth the wait IMHO! :)
BC kindly put two samples in my letter, Original and Blazin Saddles! I was very impressed with both, the original is really tasty without being grossly salty or sugary as some other jerky can be, I would have to say it’s pretty much perfect for my palate, the flavour of the spices compliments the beef without overpowering it!
Same goes for the Blazing Saddles sample, it has all the flavour of the original, with a decent chilli kick that is not like some wishy-washy chilli products you get, again just the right amount of fire! It’s really nice on it’s own (for people like me who like their chilli spicy) but I can see it would be simply outstanding with a few cold beers!
You can tell both are low in fat just by tasting, and you don’t have to dust off gross flavour powders or crystals of sugar or MSG like some other products; Bravo Geronimo, fantastic products! :)
10/10 from me Big Chief, both for product and service! :)
P.S. I’m looking forward to tasting the Spicy Shaman too, I’d like to make that my 200g bonus pack from the letter deal when I order my kg tonight! :)
Letter deal? - I must have missed out on that. So if you order a kg, you get a t-shirt & a 200g pack? - If so I'll order a kg, and come pick it up so I can meet the Chief (sorry for calling you chef :P) in person.
Yeah, there was a letter in my sample mentioning to watch the website for this special, but in the other thread BC said that's only half of it, there's more coming up Sunday night for Ozbargainers! What seems like a great deal already is apparently gonna get better for us! :)
Anyone want my sample
So you thought last week was big? Well read on my friends!
This Deal Starts tomorrow but I thought I would give Ozbargain members the heads-up.
As of Monday we are starting a Christmas deal on our Geronimo Jerky. Buy a 200g bag and get 2 x 40g bags of whatever flavour you like FREE or, and this is the BIG one, buy a kilo and get 200g FREE, any flavour you like as well as the FREE T-shirt!
Buy your dad some, buy your husband some or buy your grandma some! It’s the perfect Christmas present and the best part is you can keep the extra goodies we’re throwing in. Everybody wins!
So that’s the big news part one, now the big exciting news part
two….Voting for the Geronimo Jerky Poster Girl Competition will open
on the 23rd. I know that’s ages away, so on Monday you can go online and have a look at who has entered so far. You can’t vote but you can ogle.
Told you it was going to be a big week!
The Big Chief
Thanks for supporting us and I hope you enjoy the deal
Are there anymore samples? Been reading all the good review and want to try it now haha.
The Shop is up and running for anyone waiting-which is probly none by now..lol
Note when searching for your site maybe change the title from Geronimo Jerky - Loading, to just, Geronimo Jerky
meta tags or title
Please confirm i am in NSW when i order how long will delivery take for the 200gm chrissy special ? i would like to receive before holidays in 1.5 weeks any chance ?
generally it is sent the following day..If not on the day it was ordered..I would say 2-6 days after order-
Thank you,
The Big Chief
Hey guys-Here is that jerky I mentioned-This would be the hottest beef jerky in Australia-mmm it burns so well.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180448…
Merry Christmas from Geronimo Jerky and the Big Chief.
I never ended receiving my sample :(
I do still get the newsletters though.
Hello,
We had a few people send us an email for samples last week and found the post office closed thursday, Friday and Sat.. as well as meat suppliers being closed over the holiday-Everything is back to normal so shoot us an email and in the subject simply put "Sample".
Thank you.
Mark
Recivied my sample today. I got 2 x Oridigional thou, not the three flavours.
Great tasting jerky thou :D
Hello All,
I hope you are well-Just a quick note to say that we have sent out 1600 samples now and have organized to finalize the samples by sending out the rest which is just over 700 samples.
Currenty we are giving away a Kilo a month to a random online buyer so if you want to try some now is a good time to buy as this puts you in the draw.
We have also worked out a national deal which will take place in the middle of March which means you will most likely be able to just drive up the road and buy a pack of our Jerky.
Take care-
The Big Chief
Just got my sample yesterday - I had forgot about that.
Just one flavour - Spicy Shaman. Wasn't expecting much but damn - that was the best jerky I have ever eaten. Had it with a beer and wanted to eat a kilo more. Not fair Big Chief - give me the first taste for free to get me hooked then leave me wandering the streets looking for my next fix.
Thanks - I'll definitely be buying some of this
Well i signed up hope i get some decent samples, after signing up how do i know if i am within the first 100?
Received my sign up email but no confirmation of samples, hmmm
