Scam
Horrible company. I have only received two offers from them and the second box arrived smashed with only 2 items in it. I sent them photos and told them what happened and they didn’t care. They told me to try again in the future and they don’t care to do anything about it. I would never promote this company.

Hope you like tuna
Ive only gotten samples twice and both times they were cans of freakin tuna fish. One was supposed to also have a Bic razor but it never showed and the other was supposed to have a Cetaphil moisturizer that was missing. Ive been signed up about 8 months and its been a sad fishy experience so far

I never received any samples
I never received any samples. I was able to get a free digital magazine but nothing ever came in the mail. I also got an offer for a food service which I have no interest in.

Never get samples… must be a scam
Can’t get any samples and the one time something was available, when I went through the process it errored out and then everything disappeared. Very disappointed as I feel like this is a scam

We're so sorry to hear you experienced a technical glitch! We want to ensure everyone has a chance to claim samples, if you reach out to support@sampler.io with more information on the error you received, we'd be more than happy to help!
A Very Fun and Useful Service!
I signed up to Sampler a few months ago, and I've already received a few really good sample offers. These were for products I was genuinely interested in and wanted to try for myself. A couple of my samples have even included full size products. Sampler's platform is also very easy and simple to use. I like their system of matching with sample offers, along with the feedback system as well. Overall, I'd highly recommend trying Sampler if you're at all interested in trying new products!

I enjoyed using the app but I feel like there has been fewer samples than I expected. First I was getting boxes or vouchers but then it was down to megazine subscription? A little bit disappointed.
Hope Sampler can work with more brands to give out more samples.

Hi Latoya,
We're so sorry to hear you haven't had a sample match yet, we know how frustrating that can be! If you're not subscribed to Sampler marketing emails, you can do so in your Profile under "subscriptions" - opting in will give you access to even more sampling programs (we will email you when new samples are available and all you have to do is login and claim!). We hope you match soon!
Very simple and easy way of trying products!
Getting matched for a sample is a bit difficult, but once you do, its very exciting. The samples may take a bit long to arrive, but other than that there are no faults. You can easily get multiple samples and some of them even have coupons so that you can get a discount if you want to buy more. Reviewing the samples is also quite easy as they don't ask you to fill out very long questions for each product. It is very worth it to try out samples of products before you commit and buy more. And it's a way to sample and discover new products.
