i've tried clicking on register using a number of different browsers on PC, laptop , Mac and Phone...and all it ever does is reloads the whole site.

As far as I know they are not taking on any new registers as apparently they had so many in the beginning they closed it

I don't use social media at all, i hate it. I've received the chocolate, and also the box with hand sanitiser. I don't smoke/vape so i didn't receive any of the liquids.

I received the chocolate and hand sanitizer box too; don't smoke/vape so no liquids for me. Hope we both get the next one.

Got email saying this months box is on its way

Finally, just saw the email saying I will be getting the Spring box. First box for me.

My box just arrived. Haven't opened it yet. I'm having a fag first.

Mint and berry pouches and a bottle.

FanadMan

So far, the bottle is the best thing in the box. Not over the moon with the pouches.

I googled the bottle. It's worth nearly €30. I only had one pouch but had a drink after a few minutes so had to lose the pouch. I'll try again on its own.

Wow.....didn't realise it was worth that much! Have mine sterilized and ready to go already

Got these today, haven’t smoked in years, felt the pouch was a bit strong for me. Bit of dizziness.

Do you mind if I ask what bottle and stuff? The package I got today had shreddies, ballymaloe dressing, a plant based drink and some protein bars. Seems to be the same as what's on their insta page?

Ours was the April box. Maybe you got the May box early?

Not sure, my email just said the Spring box and looks the same as all the stories on Instagram! Interesting! Probably the case alright though.

Regardless, the salad dressing was lovely, not the biggest fan of Shreddies haha. The two mccain chips vouchers are nice and the protein bars / mude drink were lovely!

I'm getting the May box

Or me

None for me either after email to say I was in. 🙄

I signed up for this in May or June last year before it started. I got the first two boxes, then nothing for months. I even forgot about it until I saw someone on twitter posting about their box in Jan or Feb. I emailed them to see if I'd been bumped from the list and their reply was:

Hi $hifty,

Thank you for your email.

I've checked, and you are still on our system. Samplify has grown to a database of 20,000+ users. We select 6,000 users at random each month to receive a box.

If you miss out one particular month, you'll still be in the running each new month.

Regards etc.

Just now, when i searched for the above email, I discovered a new email from Apr 30th telling me I'll receive the May box, that's my first one this year.

Same boat.
Got the first bar of chocolate box and the first main box in January...... nothing since

lintdrummer

Got a message from FastWay today that they will be delivering a package from SampleIt. This will be my first box. I hadn't seen the email from SampleIT but it turns out it was filtered to another tab in Gmail. Looks like some booze of some sort, cans of Summer Spritzers and a metal straw.

I have never had hard seltzer before but IMO it is terrible. Its literally alcoholic water. There is basically no flavor. Everclear, water and carbonation is all it is

That makes me feel better. Want to try Hard Seltzer but am afraid of paying for it and then pouring it away.

I don't think it's a great example of them to be fair. I quite like seltzers but didn't like the sampleit ones. Also, drinking it though the straw made it taste much worse. Made it fizzier on the way up.

How does one sign up for this?

It was a bit disappointing - straw was the main component.
Better than nothing though!

florawest

My second one another single item a packet of mcvities chocolate biscuits, 6 in pack, definitely nothing special, will wait on survey.

Came in a blue plastic pack.

At least It's something, we had with our tea just there, would rate it same really as the Aldi choc digestives.

I got the survey in the junk folder and it was from mcvities so here's hoping there's more coming our way 😂

I got those too. Terrible. Tasted stale to me!

Got an email from them today, promising a sample box this week, and that the box will contain an Alcohol Sample...

Hopefully noone on the forum knows where i live...

Yeah I got the same mail today as well. I signed up months ago and this is my first box. My thoughts are that you’re only going to get one that matches what ever preferences that you ticked when you were signing up. I’m not a smoker so wouldn’t have received the one with the nicotine products. I’m interested to see what’s in this one.

florawest

Me too, got email to say am getting a box, well here's hoping it will be a 3rd time lucky, first - bar chocolate, 2nd - pk choc biscuits and yipee box this time. 🀗🀞

FanadMan

Haven't heard from them since the Nordic Spirit one

Toulouse

Well I don’t want to sound ungrateful but they are clearly not going by any of the preferences I selected.

2 sweet/sugary fizzy drinks and a pot noodle which I’ll give away.

There’s a can of hard seltzer which I’ll split with the husband. Nice to finally get the box but pity there’s not a bit more to actually sample in it. Hardly living up to it’s ‘Fantastic’ tag.

penelope2012

I have given up at this stage despite getting the initial confirmation that I was in I have yet to get a box.

Never received mine. Second time I have been chosen for sample box and not received it. For anyone that has received it which courier company was it that delivered, I saw fastway mentioned earlier in the thread, that would explain a lot

I don't think it was Fastway here, it was some random blank white van. Didn't miss much to be honest this time around...

I got a reminder to do the Back Box survey, haven't received it yet, so I emailed them. This is the response:

Thank you for your email below,

We still have some Back boxes out for delivery at the moment. We are hoping you will receive your delivery by Friday 22nd October!

We will extend the survey to next Wednesday 27th Oct with a reminder sent on Monday 25th Oct.

Apologies for the delay in getting the box to you but we hope you love it when you get it!

We can't wait to get your feedback! Enjoy your day :)
