FAQs

1. How do I receive freebies?

Look through our list of available freebies, and if you see something you like, click the ‘Get Freebie’ button. This will redirect you to the freebie page for the giveaway, contest or free sample. You will need to fill out a few basic pieces of information such as your name and address. After submitting, it may take up to a month to receive your sample.

2. Who is giving away these freebies?

Companies such as L’Oreal, Rimmel, Colgate, Nivea, Tesco, Dove, Vodafone, Always, and Twinings will host giveaways or mail out samples to get more people interested in their products. These are absolutely free and no strings attached, plus, our website has a fresh selection daily.

3. My freebie never arrived. What’s going on?

At Free Canada Samples, we don’t actually stock any freebies directly, but rather, re-direct to manufacturer websites hosting the freebie. Please keep in mind that since these items are free, it can take up to 28 days to receive anything in the mail, but in rare instances, a company may have run out of stock.

Popular offers may receive well over 10,000 requests, therefore, patience is important. If it has been over a month, we recommend reaching out to the company directly to inquire the whereabouts of the freebie.

4. What items can I receive for free?

Visitors can access 100’s of great freebies that may include campaigns giving away free books, magazines, shampoo, toothpaste, tea, cream, cereal bars, perfume, and even coffee.

5. How often do we update our site with freebies?

We update our website with new free samples on a daily basis to accommodate growing interest. If you would like to receive news of our latest updates, make sure to sign up for our newsletter or subscribe to our Twitter and Facebook pages.

6. What’s the catch?

Most people wonder what the reasoning behind giving away free stuff is. After all, isn’t it costing companies money? This is actually a tried and true marketing tactic that entices consumers to try out new products. More than half the time, people end up becoming devoted customers.

7. How can I get alerts of the latest freebies via email?

We send out our email newsletter every single day to highlight some of the most popular offers available. Just sign up at the top of our page to get started!

8. Is this website completely free to use?

We will always keep this website free for our Canadian residents to use. We want to ensure everyone gets access to freebies on a regular basis and is privy to the most up-to-date information.

9. If all of this stuff is free, will I receive tons of spam?

Most companies do ask for your personal information to send you the freebies offered. However, in some instances, you may receive marketing messages via email or otherwise if you don’t you can manually opt out. At the time of signing up, make sure you check the box to opt out of marketing emails.

Regardless of opting out of marketing emails, we advise you to create a new email address solely for signing up for freebies. This way, you can protect your primary email address from spam.

Our company will never share your personal information with third party users. We will only use your email address to send you our daily newsletter.

10. What should I do with a freebie I don’t want or will not use?

We always recommend giving away to friends or family what you won’t use. However, we also advocate sharing freebies with non-profits such as your local food bank if it is food related.
