The Bottom Line
Don't waste your time. After spending several days trying to get samples from this site, i realize that baring an extreme amount of luck, it will never happen.

I have to say, that when I signed up for startsampling.com, I thought the idea was pretty cool. Target trial size samples to only the people who want them. You get what you want and the companys can do more direct marketing...a win win situation.
Unfortunately, startsampling.com, is yet another example of a good idea with a poor implementation. It started off well enough. I went to the site...signed up (easily) and went on to get "points" by answering all the surveys on their site. I then signed up for the only sample available (some stain treatment product I still have yet to receive). Not a bad experience, and if I was to never have come back to the site I may have considered this a success.
The problems began on my second, third and fourth visits...(you get the idea) Every time I went to the site, they were all out of the samples. Not only that, but in thirty days, they had only introduced two new samples.(and yes they both were out every time I looked).
I'm waiting to "start sampling", I really am. They just don't seem to want to help.
