If you want to respond, just tell them how much a sample costs, and you'll know whether they're serious potential customers or just looking for freebies.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Is it from " Christie Amato " ? Several people on the soap dish forum have received free sample requests from her. She's in Pa. I had one a couple of weeks ago. Don't have any idea who it was from. I saw it when I was skimming emails before work - then totally forgot about it.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 No it was from a different person named Sue. I think I'm going to forget about it, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Marie, yea sounds fishy.. I get them now and then... I'd say ignore them... Or respond and say there is a charge for the samples but could be refundable with the first order or something like that. Shaye Free Samples?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 After getting burned by a commune up in the Catskills a few years ago I realized my line was good enough to get paid for samples if they are serious about buying. This group took in an enormous amt. of trusting folk's creations and never had intention of doing further biz with any of us. I happened to hear bob was heading near the area so we paid the commune gift shop a visit-The head honcho ran for his life out the back door leaving the kids to talk to me. The shame was they preach Religion while doing this blackhearted stuff. Poor bob had to hear me chatter aboutit allthe way home but I got on the computer and wrote every recognized soaper I saw in the baskets to tell them-also went online to all the lists I was then on to warn them. Bottom line is I now chg a small fee for all my sample sizes and if they are serious about doing busines with you they gladly pay. you can always refund it if they place an order(my min 1st time WS order is $100.) > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Yes, I just got one the other day and deleted it. She was from PA or OH, I think. Asked for every " flavor " of soap that I have in a long list. Sheesh. I gladly send samples with orders but don't send freebies just like that unless it's a potential wholesale customer that I have a good feeling about.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Katy, It sounds like the same person. Do you think it could be something to track emails? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 , I wondered the same thing which is why I didn't reply. She wasn't acting as a business person interested in wholesale but someone who said she has extremely dry skin and would like samples of ............(and she listed them by name) Something about it just didn't seem right. I don't know. Katy Angelicglow () wrote: > Katy, It sounds like the same person. Do you think it could be something to track emails?

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Katy, Now that you mention it, my requestor complained of really dry skin, lips, etc, too. She made such a point of it that I thought that if she was for real she was probably dehydrated and needed medical help! - www.BlueMountainBotanicals.com Re: Free Samples? , I wondered the same thing which is why I didn't reply.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Yes, Ladies, this all sounds like the same person looking for freebies. Glad we talked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
