| How do I get free stuff, freebies, or free samples? |
| To get free stuff, visit the links listed in the Freebies section or browse the Freebies forum in Free Stuff Page Forums. The links will take you to sites that offer free stuff.
Often, you will complete forms at these sites to request the free stuff. Sometimes, you will need to either email the listed email address or call the listed phone number to request the free stuff. In some cases, you will need to print the forms, complete them, and then mail the forms to a specified address to request the free stuff. Be sure to read the descriptions associated with some of the offers. The descriptions will tell you if the offers have restrictions on ages, businesses, or locations. |
| Do you, Free Stuff Page, offer free stuff? |
| No, we list free stuff offered by individuals, businesses, and organizations that use free offers to promote their products and services. |
| What is "free?" How does Free Stuff Page define "free?" |
| "Free" is subjective. Free Stuff Page defines free as an offer that is completely free or charges "reasonable" shipping and handling fees.
"Reasonable" means that the offer does not make a huge profit on the shipping charge. For example, $5 shipping for a sticker is unreasonable; whereas, $5 shipping for a heavy box. However, the distance between the sender of the offer and you should also be considered. It would cost more for an Australia company sending a free sample to somone living in Ireland. |
| Are there catches in getting free stuff? |
| There are usually no catches. Giving away free stuff is just one of the many ways for businesses to market their products and services.
You may want to read any available fine prints, privacy statements, and terms of service before pursuing any offers. If necessary, you may want to consult trusted individuals or organizations before pursuing any offers. Generally, if you have any doubts about an offer, do not request it. |
| What should I watch out for when requesting free stuff? |
| If the information requested is too personal, then consider not to pursue the offer. You may want to read any available fine prints, privacy statements, and terms of service before pursuing any offers. If necessary, you may want to consult trusted individuals or organizations before pursuing any offers.
If you are under the age of majority in your area, please have your parents' or legal guardians' explicit permissions before pursuing any free stuff. Some free stuff offers have restrictions on ages, businesses, or locations. If you do not meet any of the specified restrictions of a free offer, then please do not pursue it. Generally, if you have any doubts about an offer, do not request it. |
| What are "Shipping Offer" and "Savings Offer?" |
| These tags help to organize the offers for you.
When you see the "Shipping Offer" tag next to an offer, the offer charges a shipping and handling fee. When you see the "Savings Offer" tag, the offer allows you to save money on the offer. Offers without these tags do not mean that they do not incur charges. Offers may change their terms anytime and offers may hide these charges in the fine prints. |
| Should I request every free stuff listed? |
| No. Make sure that you are interested in the offer and meet its requirements. If you know that you will not use the free stuff when it arrives, please do not request it. This not only discourages organizations from offering new free stuff in the future, but also wasting resources. |
| How long does it take to receive the free stuff? |
| The free stuff you have requested will usually arrive in four to eight weeks. If an organization is overwhelmed with requests, it will need more time to respond.
Note that you may not even receive the free stuff at all. The reason is explained in the next answer. |
| I am still waiting for the free stuff. Where is it? What can I do? |
| While this site lists free offers, it does not offer them directly. The site does not have any affiliation with the offers.
There are many reasons why you may not receive the free stuff you have requested. Here are some of them: - The organizations are overwhelmed with requests and they ran out of supplies. They may have to delay or dishonour the remaining requests. - You do not meet the requirements for the offers. The offers may have restrictions on ages, businesses, or locations. - The organizations may not even receive your request due to technical difficulties or unexpected reasons. If you really want the free stuff, consider sending a polite message inquiring about your requests. |
| I am from an organization, I would like to request free stuff for the people we help or for raffle prizes. Can you please send some free stuff? |
| Unfortunately, our site is not suitable for bulk requests of free stuff. Our
site lists free stuff offered by businesses that use free offers to promote
their products and services. Generally, these businesses limit their free stuff
to one per person, family, or an organization.
The best way to get bulk free stuff is to approach the national and local manufacturers, stores, or companies themselves. Visit their web sites and search for contact information of their corporate giving department, public relations, or customer services. Then, write them a message and request for bulk free samples. Be sure to explain what you would like to receive, why you need them, how you are going to use them, and how the companies can get recognitions. In addition, we encourage you to try the following: 1. Read "Secret Ways to Get Free Stuff" to find ways to contact companies directly and ask for free stuff. 2. You may want to try nonprofit groups like Gifts in Kind International. Many of these groups take extra inventories from manufacturers and redistribute them to other nonprofits. You may have to complete several applications to pursue these services. |
