We all like free stuff and samples!
But it seems like you always have to participate in a survey or complete some kind of offer to get them.
Is it possible to get real free things without having to fill out surveys?…
Well, yes it is!
Whether you want freebies in your inbox, or looking to get free stuff mailed to you without shipping fees, there are always ways to get them.
The fact is that some manufacturers or businesses would insist on you to provide answers to survey questions that they organize, but that doesn’t mean that we have to always go through the survey route in order to enjoy free samples.
But what is without any reasonable doubt is that you will always have to surrender some basic information like who you are and where you stay, before you can even request for some free samples.
Sometimes, it is not uncommon for companies to ask detailed information that you are not willing to render voluntarily. If you don’t feel like giving away such personal information, then skip it! While a freebie may be nice to have, it is never going to be at the expense of your real intimate data about yourself.
At the same time, there will always be companies that are willing to forgo certain personal information in exchange for your honest inputs about some of the real questions that they are more interested to find answers on. As you fill out forms, pay attention to those fields (usually denoted by asterisks that explain certain fields are to be completely filled or can be left blank).
With that said, here is how you can get completely free stuff by mail or email without surveys and free shipping:
Use Freebie Websites
I am sure that you must have noticed that there many
websites that give you free stuff. But if you have been diligent in your observation, you would also have noticed that many of them are actually scams.
Keep your focus on finding sites that can ultimately give you the samples you desire.
It is not your job to find a survey or free trial offer sign up sites.
Instead, consciously look out for websites that link you to real companies or sites that do not often require detailed information, other than the usual name and address, in order to land you onto those real free samples.
Here are some examples:
Complimentary CrapIf you’re looking for free samples by mail, this is your destination. This is a blog that provides fairly regular updates. It organizes the samples into categories, which makes the website easy to navigate.
Yo Free SamplesThere is an opt in mailing list on offer here. If you choose, you can receive your daily list of some of the best deals through your e-mail.
FreeFlysMost top brands imaginable are represented here. You can sample free food to household utilities, and anything else in between.

FreeBeeBuzzI find this site to be fairly comprehensive. Regardless of freebies, coupons, deals and bargains on products that you are after, the site does not disappoint. As a general practice, it is best that you try out the items of interest before you buy them. Diligent shoppers would love this website.

SampleLoft.comThis could be your ideal website if you are looking for items that do not cost anything at all. Moreover, it never attempt to sell you anything or make you do in surveys after surveys in order to claim these products.
Use Social Networks
The explosion of Internet has led many companies to offer free samples or even the entire product on social media networks.
The game plan is simple: by making their proposition more appealing to you on their Facebook or Twitter account, they are hoping that you could be impressed enough to include them on your own page, which is easily available to all your friends, whom they again hope to be motivated enough to do exactly what you did.
So the whole machinery of marketing goes on.
Often, laying your hands on these free samples is not so straightforward. But if there is a will, there is a way, so the saying goes…
First, you have to track them down
on their Facebook or Twitter account, or both. Check out their walls (or through the direct feed) if they are coming out with some goodies to give away.
If these stuffs interest you, then you must make an effort to say you like them or want to befriend them. You then follow up with your name and address so that these free samples can get to you.
Call Your Favorite Companies
While the approach may not sound one bit high tech or sophisticated, you can help yourself to the free samples by ringing up or writing to the manufacturer directly.
It would be better if you profess to have some knowledge or experience about their earlier products. After all, what manufacturers would be interested to know is the opinions of the public, regardless positive or negative thoughts.
If they think you can be dependent on to relay useful feedback, they may be motivated enough to send you coupons, free samples or promotional products.
Needless to say, if you happen to be a popular blogger or someone who regularly post
product reviews (either on your own site or 3rd party sites like Yelp, epinions, or Amazon), your credential would just get cranked up a notch in their eyes.
Check Individual Company Websites
Another way to get free samples is to check directly with the company that manufactures or markets the product you want.
Sometimes, a trial lot may be produced in order to test the market’s reaction and these companies would want to give away the samples to as many individuals as possible, so as to solicit feedback. Such companies are often in the business that sells toiletries, makeup and cosmetics.
But there are also companies like Walmart that give free samples of all kinds of products from many of the suppliers they work with.
Use Apps
Amazingly, there is this
Free Stuff Without Surveys app from FreeStuffResource.com to guide you along in order to help you get the best free samples offers without going through the surveys route.
This works on an aggregate basis and regularly checks the web for the best offers and presents them in a well-organized way.
Without lifting even an eyelid, suddenly the best and free stuffs are available to you on your iPhone or android powered smartphone.
Final Word
I am sure the above list is not exhaustive when it comes to getting free samples of products that you can use on a regular basis.
Some approaches may be no-brainer as you simply go ahead and click “like” on a social media page, while others are not so straightforward.
But my main point is that there are ways to get real free stuff without doing surveys or completing tons of offers. You just have to know here to look.
