Free USPS Sample Showcase

Updated: Oct 4, 2018 · Posted on Apr 21, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Free U.S. Postal Service Freebies

EDIT: This is no longer available, but when it comes back up again I'll be sure to repost it!

Apparently handling millions of freebies over the years has convinced the U.S. Postal Service to jump in the game and sponsor a new sample showcase! You have to qualify, but I know for a fact that females with 0-3 kids who make $75,001-$100,000 qualify. So…yeah πŸ˜€

From the looks of it, they're going to be sending out freebies for products like Reese's, Nescafe, and Dove. The site keeps going down, so if you're having trouble, try again later. And if you're not having trouble…well, good for you! You get an A+.

    They want people that have enough disposible income to be able to buy the things they are sampling. Women, I suppose, do more of the shopping, and if they have kids, then they buy even more. People with low income are not a good investment for companies that give out samples.

    The USPS isn’t paying for the samples. But they get business when companies send out samples, right? It’s a win-win for them and the sample companies.

    Just play the game.

    After trying about 20 times, I was finally able to get it to work all the way through. I had it sent to a couple friends as well. I’m just curious as to how the way you answered the product questions will affect what samples you receive..or if it matters at all. I answered them all differently so I will find out. And I wonder how often they plan on sending out boxes. This seems like a cool program..Thanks Goob!

    I clicked on and said that I have a 0-3 year old and made over 50K and was shown a signup form. But after I clicked to read the privacy policy link my computer started to act crazy and all of my web pages said that Internet Explorer stop the webpage from loading because of some type of virus or malware that was located on the page. All of my open windows had to be shut down because of this. I do not know it it is some type of virus or malware on the page but I did have problems. Be careful by clicking on links they might have spyware, virus, and malware located on the page.

    The only thing is that it gave me error messages after I filled in my information. So I don’t think that it worked for me.

    I had to keep reloading the site, I eventually got my confirmation. Also, the boxes are referring to the ages of your children, not the number of children you have. That might make a difference in eligibility. I am a woman with a 3 year old, a 5 year old and a 15 year old, so I checked three different boxes. My income level was marked as 50,001-75,000.

    Dang it!! It won’t let me enter the information again, either!!

    Listen to Goob’s way of putting in the info if you want to qualify…. now I am wondering how Goob figured that out? I just thought he kept switching his choices until it qualified him… but it wont let you do that…
