Send Me a Sample is a digital product-sampling platform that brands use to put real samples of new food and drink products into people’s hands. You request the samples that interest you and they are posted to your home.

It is open to anyone living in the UK. The company’s own FAQ answers the question of what it costs with “Nothing. It is completely free! No catches”, and confirms samples are sent within the UK among a handful of other countries. There is no delivery fee to pay.

Create a free account on the Send Me a Sample site, or enable the Send Me a Sample skill on Amazon Alexa and say “Open Send Me a Sample”, then pick from whatever campaigns are running. Samples typically arrive within about a fortnight.
