WHAT SAMPLES CAN I HAVE

Anywhere you see the “Send Me a Sample” logo on an advert, you’ll know that it’s available to request by asking your voice assistant. We’re adding new brands all the time so make sure to keep an eye out.

Make sure you subscribe to Send Me a Sample updates in your account settings too and we’ll let you know when we get new samples in to try.

WHY WON’T SEND ME A SAMPLE LET ME ORDER CERTAIN SAMPLES

When you registered for your account, you will have been asked to confirm a few details.

Depending on your answers, you may not be eligible for all our campaigns. Some offers are only available in certain places. Also, if you did not tick the over 18 box during registration, you won’t be able to request alcohol samples. If you left the tick-box blank, we understand that you can’t legally order alcoholic products. If this was a mistake, you can always change your settings in your account page.

DELIVERY QUESTIONS

WHERE'S MY SAMPLE?

If you requested your free samples less than 3 weeks ago, hold tight! Your sample will be with you soon.

Still not arrived? Please follow the steps below:

1. Check you have received an email from us confirming your order – if you haven’t and the sample is still available, please try to request this again as it hasn’t come through to us!

2. Check that your address is correct on the system by logging in here: https://account.sendmeasample.net/login – if it isn’t correct, please update it and let us know. If you registered with an incorrect address, I’m afraid we cannot guarantee your sample made it’s way to you!

3. Look out for a missed postal delivery card – the parcel might be waiting for you at your local depot

If you’ve completed the above and you’ve still not tracked your free sample down, we’re really sorry but due to the limited number of samples available, we cannot resend this to you. We wish we could!
