Do You Always Recieve Your Freebies

Ljuki on 22/06/2015 - 13:54

Hello everyone,

I have been lurking this site since last year, it began with just following the freebies stuff, however in 2015 I have not recieved any at all ?!
The last in date that I took part in was the Paleo skincare https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/192970.
Have any of you recieved it?
In no ways am I wishing to target PS in particular, I'm sure that going through my email I could find many of the other ones I have taken part in.
I just have the feeling someone is taking my freebies. I have spoken to the post office, who just shrugged me off and said "sometimes they get lost" or "you should lock you letter box", however, nobody that walks passed here.
Either it's my roomie/landlord, or the posties…

Any suggestions about what to do?

    Pretty much most of them. Sometimes the merchant doesn't honour the freebie.

    Get an Auspost parcel locker? They're free to apply for.

    thank you for the advice, I shall try the parcel locker =) I didn't know about those.

    Have not received the Paleo skincare freebie either, but that was only posted in early May. I give freebies about three months before I give up on them.

    Another I did not receive was from Supply Warehouse, for lotion samples. Did anyone receive them?

    freebies can take up ages to arrive. the longest I received was a cereal box and it took 6 months to reach me and when I got them its expired already. LOLs.. but most of the time I got my freebies :)

    hmm the only ones i have recieved this year was the ring sizer tool and i believe to have done that last year.
    No i did not recieve the lotion from supply warehouse either.

    I've given up, none have ever arrived.

    Most of my freebies did end up arriving. And on average, they take around 3 weeks.

    There are some that never arrived, for example:
    Spirax Student Planner
    WWF Keychain
    Durahook

    That reminds me, I never did get my shoe laces:

    It's been more than a month and I don't really expect it to arrive.

      Got the shoelaces…but not the colours that I ordered. Still they were free!

  • pjetson on 23/06/2015 - 09:19

    I find that I often have to ring companies who have promised a freebie or something similar. Just to remind them, of course.

  • Heizenberg on 23/06/2015 - 14:02

    i don't really follow up to check which ones i have gotten, and not gotten but i feel like quite a few never ended up arriving.

  • teekay on 23/06/2015 - 22:54

    Maybe a nifty Ozbargainer could develop an app to track freebies ordered vs. freebies received! (I wouldn't pay for it though I would definitely download it)

      well, there is a thing called pen and paper, but try leaving one of those next to the computer for a month…
