I got the January box (in February) but no March box. I guess it makes sense I can't get them all!

I did not get the march box either

jamesbondings · 22-03-2021 08:49PM

got an email saying i got the march box but still waiting! not too worried they had these delays last time round as well.

How are people getting regular boxes and others none at all?

No idea tbh. I was scheduled to get the March one and it never arrived. Emailed them to let them know and asked about the "vaping" boxthey said that's due out in April. People have been getting emails and I haven't received one. Reckon I have been removed from the list as I didn't give feedback as I didn't receive the box

I've seen it on their Instagram, people saying 'another great box' or 'love my monthly delivery '

This also happened to me. I didn't receive January box, contacted them, explained how I'd not received the box and they said they'd keep me on list but I've heard nothing since. I reckon it was delivered but not to me and not knowing which company was delivering it I couldn't follow it up with them. A bit unfair as there was nothing I could do about it

Be interesting to know if those who have gotten boxes are active on social media? Or if those who signed up and haven't received anything are not?

I have a suspicion they only want people who regularly use Instagram/Facebook/Twitter, as a means of promoting the brands that they work with.

For example, people posting "look what I got in my Sample It box this month", tagging brands etc. More exposure..

Anyone want to chime in and prove/disprove my theory?!

It’s a good theory but if we’ve never gotten anything to post about then how are they to know how active we are?

Not 100% sure but as far as I remember there some questions in the sign-up questionnaire about what social media platforms you use.
Anyone remember?

thesandeman · 10-04-2021 01:09PM

I'm not at all active on social media. I read Twitter occasionally that's all. I'm getting my first box this month.

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.

penelope2012 · 10-04-2021 04:19PM

Or me! and i am reasonably active on social media so don't know why i have nt got one yet.

lucalux · 10-04-2021 05:13PM

Thanks for clearing that up for me all!
It was a theory I had but seems not to be the case so I guess it could be random. I might send them an email this week and see if there's any light they can shed on it for me, I was one of the earliest to sign up and havent received anything, and have been wondering about it.

Seve OB · 20-04-2021 01:21PM

I've only received the January box, filled the survey in
haven't received anything since!

My wife registered........ hasn't received a thing at all!

I have received 2 boxes so far - and have answered their surveys afterwards but have never posted anything to social media about any of it

Fat_Fingers · 21-04-2021 09:49AM

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

Cheers. They should fix their web site. Thanks for the info.

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.

FanadMan · 22-04-2021 11:11PM

Got email saying this months box is on its way

SleetAndSnow · 24-04-2021 02:28PM

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

thesandeman · 26-04-2021 12:02PM

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

Mint and berry pouches and a bottle.

FanadMan · 26-04-2021 08:35PM

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
