I did the Suds box and holy mother load! The shipping weight of the box was 4.5lbs! Used my credit right away and even had other $1 coupons online too. This was epic! I was going to take a pic of my box to share on Facebook to brag, but never got around to it.

Keep these Amazon sample box alerts coming!! 🙂

Annie

I just received the Women’s Makeup And HairCare Box and I have to say, it did not disappoint. The Loreal mascara and brow pencil alone are about $6 each and the sample sized shampoo and conditioner are about $2 each. So, it was worth paying $9 for all the goodies in the box. Thank you for posting about these sample boxes!!!

Heather

I bought the Women’s Skin & Oral Care box. I got my email for the credit last night so I went to use my credit (it asks you at your cart of you want to apply the credit, it’s there in your account, just wait for the email!) & it let me use the credit for anything in THAT box AND the women’s makeup box! Just an FYI ?
I also got the cookie sample box and have not yet received that credit.

Jen

where does it ask you that Heather? I still can’t find my credit????

Jen

I’m on hold with them now. My credits won’t show up and I don’t think she knows for sure what I’m talking about. She’s trying though!

Heather

Did you get the email telling you that your credit was available? If not, just wait, it can take a week after ordering. If it’s been longer than that, I’d contact Amazon. If you DID get the email, it should ask you automatically at checkout if you want to use the credit.

Jen

Has anyone figured out how to get your credit to apply. I went and put one of the items in my cart, but I can’t find the credit anywhere? I got the email saying the credit was applied to my account, but ??? I’m trying the beauty one and am ordering the foundation. I’m an Amazon pro and can’t figure it out. thanks if you can help!

Ann

It wouldn’t work for me on the foundation either. I tried it on the eye shadow and it worked fine, so it must be a problems on their end.

Jen

Thanks ladies. I may email customer service tomorrow.

Rebecca

Just looked at the terms of the box I bought. It looks like you’re supposed to get a credit a week after it ships. So for me, not until this Friday. We shall see…

Rebecca

I’d love to know this, too. Mine shipped Friday. No e-mail, nothing showing in my Amazon account.

Thanks in advance!

Kaitlynn Marie

Damn, the only one I wanted it sold out, or “currently unavailable” I should say. *sigh* (it was the snack box btw)

Wincha

You can buy Annies Organic snacks at Target and Whole Foods. Target is cheaper, same snacks

Wincha

I thought with my trial prime membership I had free shipping

molly

When you place your order with all the credits, make sure to check the promo items that result in Prime Pantry free shipping, usually like 4 bags of chips for $8 or otherwise Pantry shipping is $5.99. I’d rather pay like $2 more for a bunch of snacks around the house since the hubby will eat anything salty.

Valerie

One of my boxes has shipped already! The Protein Bar Sample Box was shipped on 5/18 (yesterday). It should be here Monday. 🙂 The others are still being prepared for shipment.

Jen

Ladies. Run don’t walk and get these boxes. They are awesome even without the credit. Got all my boxes last evening. Yippy!

I was so close to purchasing everything until, I realized it’s not an open credit. Booooo!!!!lol I never buy this type of stuff from Amazon so it’d be a waste. Ugh you almost had me Amazon lol?

Kimberli

I got them all. I couldn’t help myself.

Yona Williams

Although I was tempted to get more…I just ended up buying the snack boxes.

Rebecca

I’d buy most of them if it were a carte blanche Amazon credit, but I don’t like the fact that I’m restricted to credits on certain products because their prices aren’t always competitive. For example, I thought about the cleaning one, but I think I do better shopping on my own for laundry detergent than buying it at the Amazon price.

In other words, you are either paying for the samples and getting a discount on your full-price item or getting the samples for free and paying full-price for your full-price item. It can feel like you’re getting free samples *and* a discount on the full-price item, but you’re not, at least not unless they surprise you and throw a coupon code in the box.

Due to this, I have to pass on all of them. I feel like such a Debbie Downer (sad trombone).

Rebecca

Ok, after researching it for a few, the snack one with Annie’s Organic is cool. I’m getting that one – my kids love the snack packs for the car ride home from school (it can be long with traffic).

Rebecca

And now I feel like I am powerless to resist.

lisa

whoops… got 9!

Donna

So, I was seduced into ordering this! That’s my story and I am sticking to it ;). I ordered two snack boxes (snack bar box and regular snack box), and I ordered a men’s grooming box. I am very happy that I will be able to get additional things on the credit. I hope that they come out with the beauty boxes more often, because I was very happy with the $8.99 beauty box that I bought previously.

Marna

I bought 7 I definitely have issues. But we are going on a road trip soon so the snack sizes are great for the teenagers and they always are looking for energy drinks.

Please don’t post more or my mail person is really going to hate me and the substitute one is a friend so she is always yelling at me about all my boxes she has to deliver.

Ragan

I think my mail carriers hate me. I see all kinds of tricks they get up to, to stuff as many boxes as possible in the mailbox so they don’t have to walk up to the front porch. And then they have to walk up to the front porch anyway because like one thing will be too big. Because I get like 50 subscription boxes a month (many are for MSA reviews), plus Amazon orders, plus Ulta and Sephora orders, plus a bunch of stuff I ordered last month on Ali Express that has started to trickle in, etc.

Wincha

What’s Aliexpress? What do you buy there? I took a look but didn’t recognize any brand names

Lisa

LOL… I bought 7 too. Perfect for all the summer trips and pool days.

Ragan

Those Van’s “say cheese” crackers in the snack food bundle are like my favorite thing ever. They’re better than Cheez Its and they’re gluten free (and I don’t even need to eat gluten free but I still like them).

Tori

Aaaaaaand I just bought 3! Snack box, suds box and women’s skin and oral care. I frikkin’ love samples!

Susan

I bought six of them…. I have issues.

Valerie

Just ordered the Sports Nutrition pack as well.. so I ordered 3 all together. I love when there are sample boxes of multiple items that I’ve been wanting to try out but can’t make up my mind or don’t know which I would like.. =D

Wincha

Snack bar sample pack is back

Evian

Thanks! I missed it the first time.

Ani Kay

Just curious, how do you guys know when amazon has these boxes available? Is there a way to sign up for the alerts?

Wincha

I went back and canceled those I wouldn’t buy so I bought the 2 women’s boxes and cookie box

Elizabeth

I got both the syrup and the suds boxes. I figured I could use the different syrups for baking or coffee and I always can use soap and detergent 🙂

Sarah

I ended up ordering 3 boxes!! And all of the boxes looked like they would have product in them I could later use my credit towards! I’m so excited!

Tat

Cookie box reavailable! Just nailed one seconds ago! (OK. Reavailable may *not* be an actual word, but you get my drift…)
