We have all seen the sample stations at Sam’s Club or the local supermarket, but what if I told you that you could get free samples by mail and order them from the comfort of your living room. That’s right. 100% free samples by mail with no surveys, no shipping fees, no credit cards and no trials!

At Julie’s Freebies that is just what we do and I am going to show you some of the top places to get free samples by mail. Lets get started with some of my favorites.

1. Free Sample Websites

A good place to start is the website you are on! Here at Julie’s Freebies we are constantly looking over the internet to find the best free samples for you to claim. We update our site 20-50 times a day with new samples and giveaways! You can always bookmark our website or feel free to follow us on Social Media too! We are most active on our Facebook Page (follow us here) and we post every sample that we find to our page as soon as we locate it!

2. PinchMe

PinchMe is a great site to score Free Samples by Mail. With this one you will need to sign up (its free) and log into your account to claim freebies that they have available. Also take note, their samples are available usually just once per month on PinchMe Tuesday. They always have the date of the next one on their home page, so make sure you are paying attention.

We post regular reminders about PinchMe Tuesday since it is so popular, but another tip you can try is to set a phone alarm or a reminder in your phone so that you get a notification when the next PinchMe Tuesday is!

On any given month you can get between 3-6 samples depending on the demographics and availability. Below are some photos of Julie’s Freebies readers showing off their PinchMe Boxes!

3. Facebook Pages and Groups

Following your favorite companies Facebook Pages can sometimes score you samples. We have regularly seen free sample offers on company pages, one company that does samples a few times a year is Creme of Nature. I definitely recommend following that one for starters.

There are also groups on Facebook that you can join to sign up for free samples. You will just want to make sure when you join that its a reputable group, some are full of clickbait and spam offers. Any that you join you will want to make sure are moderated so that an admin approves posts, otherwise spammers will take over, and no one likes that!

• We recommend the Freebies, Sweeps & Instant Win Games Facebook Group. It is moderated, and only legitimate offers get in. As a bonus its friendly and good for beginners too!

4. Sample Source

This one is similar to PinchMe but isn’t quite as frequent with their free samples by mail. Their offerings happen around once per quarter, that seems to be the scheduling anyway. Link PinchMe you will need to set up an account, and you will also need to claim their samples when they are available.

Sample Source typically sends out a few emails to let members know that free samples will be available soon. In addition we try to post reminders on our site as well letting our readers know when there will be new free samples to claim.

5. Free Stuff from Influencer Marketing Companies

When people think of influencer freebies, they typically think that you would need thousands (or millions) of followers to get anything free. But that IS NOT TRUE! There are numerous influencer marketing companies that are looking for everyday people to try out their products for FREE!

WHY WOULD THESE COMPANIES WANT ME? You may ask this, but think about it. Say a company send you something and you really enjoy it, are you not going to tell friends or neighbors or you own social network? Of course you are (I know I do anyway) and that is just what some companies are looking for. Below is a list of some of these very type of company that you may want to check out!

• BzzAgent
• Crowd Tap
• Mom’s Meet
• checkSocial Nature
• checkView Points
• checkTrybe
• checkDigiTry
• checkHouseParty

The Complete Guide to Amazon Bouncy Box Giveaways

You may have seen the Amazon Bouncy Box Giveaways going around, these are a great way to get some wins and we have several readers who regularly win hundreds of these giveaways each year!

What is an Amazon Giveaway (Bouncy Box)?

Amazon has created a platform where their users can set up a giveaway that Amazon administers and ships the prizes. Theses prizes can range in price and vary widely in the prizes. We have seen everything from Kindle Ebooks all the way up to huge TVs, Xbox consoles, bikes, desks, sofas and more!

The nice thing about Amazon Giveaways is that ALL prizes are shipped through Amazon. This means you know you will be getting the prize since Amazon is a reputable company.

Do I need an Amazon Account to participate?

Yes! You will need to sign up for an Amazon account in order to take part in their giveaways. Accounts are free to make and no worries if you don’t have Prime. You do NOT need Amazon Prime to partake!

When you go to enter a Bouncy Box Giveaway you will be required to log into your Amazon Account since it is connected, plus thats how they have your information to ship you a prize!

What are the odds of winning a Bouncy Box Giveaway?

The odds vary completely and can range from a 1:1 chance where everyone wins, to a 1:9,999 chance where very few (if anyone) will win.

The better the odds on the giveaway, the better your chances are going to be. We regularly see some pop up with 1:10 – 1:50 odds, we consider those to have the highest probability of winning! Depending on the number of prizes, those can end very quickly!r

There is also another type of Amazon Giveaway where the winners are all picked at the end of it. These will have a set number of prizes and once that giveaway is over, the winners are picked and contacted via Email.

​NOTE ABOUT THE ODDS:

Some of the bouncy boxes are going to be almost impossible to win, so know that going in. If something has a giveaway and the 5000th entry wins, there is an almost 0% chance that someone is going to win that one. 

I recommend saying below 1 in 800 odds overall, and for best results try for the ones with better than 1:100 odds!

Why is Amazon asking for my Tax Info?

This is a question we do see asked regularly. If you have a pop up asking for your Tax Info from Amazon, this means that you have won over $600 in a calendar year. They will make you fill this in before you can enter more of their giveaways!

One thing to note, is that it looks like eBooks DO COUNT towards this amount. There are lots of those giveaways, so if you are not using them, you might want to avoid it to keep your $ wins down!

How do I find Amazon Giveaways?

There are a few ways you can find giveaways, I will go over 3 of them below! You can vary up the ways you find them, so a combination of the 3 works best!

• Julie’s Freebies Facebook Page – We regularly post the Amazon Giveaways that we find with the best odds as the come available. If you are following our page, you will have no doubt seen them. Also if you are in the comments of our posts, we usually post Amazon Giveaway boxes there too!
• Amazon Giveaway List – We have a daily list of Amazon Bouncy Boxes that we update each day with the ones currently ending. We hand curate this list so that the ones we think have the best odds are the ones that get listed!
• Amazon App – You can also find the Amazon Giveaways right in your Amazon App on your smartphone. Just head over in the menu to SEE ALL PROGRAMS -> GIVEAWAY

BONUS: Secret ways to not MISS a single box!

If you really want to enter and win TONS of Amazon Bouncy Box Giveaways, here are a few bonus tips that no one wants you to know! There are quite a few website out there that offer complete lists of Bouncy Box Giveaways but the best one is GiveawayListing.com they are well organized and its easy to follow the list. Below are some tips to maximize your success using that site!

• REFRESH, REFRESH, REFRESH! If you are using a computer to enter mostly, you can use a browser like Chrome and set up an auto refresher that runs in the background. This will help you to keep from missing any giveaways!
• EMAIL SIGNUP – Giveaway Listing has an option where you can opt in to their emails and get updates when new giveaways go live. You can play with settings on this and pick what odds and prize values that you want sent to your inbox. If you are mobile you can then set your email on your phone to check more often and get updated right away. Be sure to either use WIFI for this or stay aware of data usage if you have limits!

How can I Increase my Chances at Winning a Bouncy Box?

Here are 2 things you can do to try to increase your chances at a Amazon Giveaway win!

1. First thing you can do is play the odds. Make sure you sign up for some emails that give you the newest boxes. The more you enter (and faster you see the ones with good odds) the better your chances are going to be at scoring a win!
2. Pay attention to how fast giveaways are ending. Once you get to know the giveaways you will be able to get an idea (or a better guess) at when one is going to end. For instance, if a giveaway is set up where the 700th entry wins, you don’t want to play right away. You will want to wait a little bit so that other people can fill up those first 699 entries!

Do you have other questions? Feel free to ask and we may include them on this page 🙂 

How to Get Free Stuff Online

Chances are if you made it to this page you found a link or were searching around and thinking is this real?

Yes. It is, and you stumbled upon a site that has been helping people get free stuff online (that arrives by mail) since 2011.

We have all heard those horror stories of sites with endless surveys, the ones that loop you around asking the same question 50 times in loop that never ends. We don’t do that here.

We only post legitimate freebies, samples & free stuff offers. You won’t have to answer any questions to claim stuff. If there IS a sample that makes you answer some questions, we mention that in the post. HOWEVER that doesn’t come up often.

Watch our video!

We decided to add a video for this article to give a more visual explanation of our 5 favorite ways to get free stuff online. Also be sure and subscribe to our YouTube where you will find more videos on Free Stuff, Giveaways and Dollar General Penny Shopping (ITS FUN!)!

[tcb-script src=”https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js”][/tcb-script]

1. Claim Free Stuff by Mail

You may find this hard to believe but there is a whole section of the internet devoted to people who sign up for free stuff online. There are groups tons of people who help each other out on finding legitimate free samples.

We have a whole section of Free Stuff you can claim online right on our homepage. It updates as we find freebies and giveaways. (sometimes we update 50-60 times a day!) Make sure you are checking it out daily to get the most stuff. We have many readers who open their mailbox every single day to new freebies!

2. Requesting Freebies Online

You may not realize it but you would likely have luck getting free stuff online just simply by asking for it! Don’t believe me, try with one of your favorite brands. Love a certain type of makeup from a brand? See a new color you want to try? Contact them on social media and just ask. Let them know you are a big fan, how much stuff you buy etc, and ask for a sample. I bet you will have better luck than you think!

Be sure and find someone reputable to follow online for free samples. Some sites aren’t always the most honest, or they will be loaded full of ads where you can never find the place to claim the items you want to sign up for. You can follow me on a few different social sites, I am usually around posting all sorts of free things that I did up, you may even catch me doing a live video claiming in store freebies somewhere!

• Join my Freebies & Giveaways Facebook Group
• Follow me on Instagram @thefreebieguy
• Follow my YouTube (The Freebie Guy) where I post weekly round up videos of freebies, every Friday. We like to call it #FreebieFriday

3. PinchME Samples – They’re Legit

Have you heard of PinchMe Sample Boxes?? If not you should check them out for sure. They are like those fancy box services that people get monthly – EXCEPT ITS FREE!! Go ahead and snag one here because these have free shipping too! You don’t even have to take my word for it, check out some of these reader boxes!

Some PinchMe Samples Tips:

• PinchMe Samples are available once per month. Keep an eye on their site to know which day it is (or we post reminders monthly). You can see a past PinchMe Box here.
• You have to sign in and claim a sample box. They do not automatically ship them! (hey, we can’t expect them to do everything for us)
• TIP: Keep your feedback on samples up to date to maximize potential of future samples

4. Gift Registry Freebies

There are tons of gift registries that give you freebies for signing up. Below is a list of a few of the best ones I have claimed over the years.

• The Target Baby Registry Freebie is pretty legit! It was about a $50 value in total and included things like bottles, pacifiers as well as discounts & coupons!
• Another goo baby registry gift is the BuyBuyBaby Registry Gift – we claimed this one in the past to see what was in it. While similar with the samples and stuff as the Target Baby Registry Gift it was still just different enough to give us that little freebie thrill!
• Walmart Gift Registry Gift – this one is interesting because for some reason you don’t even have to sign up for a registry for this one? This one comes in and out of availability, but it has been consistently on and off for a few years now. If its not available, keep checking for it.
• checkAmazon also has a gift box available when you do an Amazon Baby Registry – this one is a wee bit different (but totally worth it still). This one is going to cost you, kind of. In order to get this freebie you DO have to have an item from your registry purchased. The Freebie Pro Tip: Add anything to your registry you were going to buy anyway, click to buy it from the registry and then you’ll get the free box.

5. WIN SOME STUFF!

This is honestly one of my favorite parts of freebies! The WINNING STUFF of stuff! Samples are great, the free stuff is great (I get hundreds of packages a year doing this) but none of that provides the same thrill as winning some stuff!

Here on Julie’s Freebies I try to make sure that we list as many of the sweepstakes as we possibly can. You can check out our list of Sweepstakes and Instant Win Games and here are just a few of my favorite tips with sweepstakes:

• More Prizes = More Chances to win! This will shock some of you, but there are some giveaways and instant win games that will have hundreds of thousands of prizes AND the ability to enter every day! When those pop up, we will have thousands of readers win stuff off of each and every one of those sweepstakes. 
• Instant Win Games = INSTANT SATISFACTION! The good news is that a lot of the instant win games have tons of prizes too. Not only do you find out immediately if you win, but you will usually have multiple opportunities to play. As with our other stuff, we don’t spam are list the BS giveaways. Only legit stuff here!
• Social Media Giveaways are another excellent opportunities to rack up the wins. Each day we keep up with a Facebook Giveaway List, a Twitter Giveaway list AND an Instagram Giveaway List. We are constantly updating each of these, so check back to those regularly. PRO TIP: With these, make sure you follow the pages / companies hosting these.. we have also noticed some readers having luck with making longer comments and more related comments. DON’T SPAM to win, leave legitimate comments, have fun!
