Giving out free samples is probably one of the most appealing marketing strategies adopted by companies to get their products out there. Most of the time free samples require filling out of tedious questionnaires and surveys. The time consumed in filling out the dull surveys regarding the company offering free samples fade out the allure of getting free samples. Therefore, companies or websites offering free samples without surveys attract more individuals interested in the promotional campaign. However, over the years some websites have been developed to exploit customers interested in free samples.
The opportunistic individuals behind such devious websites make certain to convince the interested individuals into paying some amount in exchange for delivery of free samples without surveys. These most commonly include shipping or handling expenses. The fraudulent websites promise to deliver free samples but require the individuals receiving the free samples to pay a certain amount as shipping or handling fee at the time of delivery. Additionally, some freebie websites also charge a certain amount of monthly or yearly membership or subscription fee to in order to receive free samples. A lot of individuals fall for such scams as they feel they are obligated to pay for delivery or subscription as the samples received are for free. However, that is not the case. Free samples, even if they are without surveys or registration, are indeed completely free; meaning you do not have to pay a cent in form of delivery or subscription fee in order to receive them.
Nonetheless, some might feel there is no harm in paying a small amount of money in exchange of free samples without the requirement of surveys or questionnaires being filled out. However, as the whole purpose of free samples, with or without surveys, is to get them for free, it makes little sense to pay even a small amount to get something which you can get absolutely free from some other genuine source. As majority of the legitimate freebie websites offering free samples without surveys have companies paying for their services of providing free samples, thus, do not require additional payment, especially from the clients.
