Hi Everybody lately I've been receiving lots of free samples that I have not signed up for. Like many of you I sign up for the many freebees that come along on OzB but over the last week or so I've been getting samples that I didn't ask for, which makes me wonder if anyone else has had the same experience. Im not complaining so much just curious to see if I can find the source of this freebeeness.

So far I have received (that I have not signed up for)

  • Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner
  • Twinings flavoured tea pack
  • Chux super wipes

Im getting brownie points with the wife coz all this stuff keeps turing up she wants to try, and she thinks I ordered it for her lol.. I must me on some crazy mailing list :s

Anyone else receive theses?

    haha i'm sure if you think hard enough, you probably did sign up for it

      I sometimes get samples in the mail that I forgot I ordered and sometimes I don't receive samples I remember ordering.

      Are you sure you didn't see a sample on OzBargain, order first and think later?

      • m0nkeycheese on 16/09/2011 - 17:21

        I usually only get stuff I want there is no way I would have gotten those things. Asked a suspected sign up culprit (my sis) it wasn't her.. ah well free is free.

    Were the samples addressed to you?

    If so, I do recall most of these freebie samples being "advertised" on OzBargain. Are you sure you may have just filled them in really quickly and completely forgotten about them? I remember applying for all of the above samples, but I'm yet to receive the Twinings Pack.

    Perhaps you have a secret tight-arse admirer who keeps on signing you up for free stuff.

    Well you've been on OzB since 2008, so who knows maybe all the freebies that you signed up for years back are finally turning up now?

    • m0nkeycheese on 18/09/2011 - 08:34

      LOL probably.. If I had a $1 for all the things I've signed up for I wouldn't need to be trolling OzB haha

  • retiredfeline on 16/09/2011 - 22:07

    Your evil twin is sending off for those freebies… and is gonna be very pissed off when he finds out that you've been getting them, so prepare a place to hide… hahaha.

    My freebies never turn up. Maybe I accidently put your address. Are you my neighbour?

    Hey, that's not fair - I never get freebies. Never got my condoms, vibrator or lube from that Facebook deal. Never got the Twinings. Never get nuffin' GRRRR

    But after signing up to everything for years, today I got my VERY FIRST one…

    http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/52194 = iPhone Stylus (fathers day gift)

    Thanks to clearanceoftheday.com.au !!

    • A Banana4scale on 17/09/2011 - 01:45

      the condom deal turned up at my doorstep 2 days ago, looks like these guys take their time ;)

      the postman told me to tell you nom nom uhh uhh oh yeah!

      • A Banana4scale on 17/09/2011 - 13:56

        what would be worse is he found the freebies in his house used and then the postman said nom nom nom

        Correct - I don't own one ROFL

        But I (truly) won a 3GS today on ebay - thank heavens!

    • llama on 17/09/2011 - 23:55

      OH - last week we got 2 memberships to Qantas Frequent Flyer. They were freebies from here (but not of any real value)

        all they ever do is send you endless amex card junk mail

  • Ultraman on 16/09/2011 - 22:50

    Yeah, that is funny cos I don't remember signing up for the Twinings freebie either, but got it in the mail today too!!

    • llama on 17/09/2011 - 23:53

      Just remembered - I think that I signed up my missus for the twinings, but it's the same address.

  • rd on 17/09/2011 - 02:39
