P&G BrandSAMPLER Canada live again with new samples! April 11th 2011


sampler11I am very fond of BrandSAMPLER, it reminds me of the holiday season except without the tacky Santa Clause sweaters and having to buy people things that they may or may not use, so basically it’s perfection. If you have never participated before here is a rundown of how it works: you register with P&G BrandSAMPLER, fill out a short survey, choose which samples you would like and 2-6 weeks later your mailman will deliver you a delightful little box filled with your samples, and it’s completely free! As I said, it’s perfection. The samples usually consist of beauty products and cleaning supplies, such as laundry detergent and Mr.Clean Magic Erasers.

    Thanks so much for posting this, I will be signing up for this again. I love getting their samples!

  2. Jeanna says:

    Is the link “Click here to go get your samples” correct? It sent me to a page that said “Sorry, no attachments matched your criteria.”
    A question I have… is I registered up and they said they ran out of samples… does that mean I’ve lost my chance to get any samples?

  3. honeydoo says:

    link doesn’t work..

  4. sharp1 says:

    It’ll work tomorrow, on the 11th.

  5. Mrs Hoarder says:

  12. Sue says:

  16. actucker says:

    Looking forward to getting my samples… I keep checking back every 10 minutes

  17. LDD says:

    Not working yet ! I wish they wouldn’t post it on a weekday , they obviously should know how so many people are waiting anxiously for these and makes it difficult when its a work day =(

  18. Mandieskyla says:

    YAY it comes out on my birthday!!!!!

  19. twinzzz says:

    did a search for the last Brandsamplers, and it appears they didn’t go live until 10-11am

  20. Deb says:

    9:25am Southern Ontario time – link not available yet 🙁

  21. Terri says:

    twinzzz: is that 10-11am eastern standard time?

    just wondering, cause i’m in newfoundland, so i’m trying to figure out when i can expect it to go live 🙂

  22. aliza85 says:

    Ya I was wondering the same thing, what time zone will it be out at. Because I am on the other end of Canada in BC and its only 6:30am and I been up since 3am cause I didn’t wanna miss out.

  23. Laura says:

    Do they usually include coupons to help purchase the products you sample? Or is it just the samples?

  24. SALLY##2 says:

    yipiiiiiieee just ordered 3 samples of each product!!!!

  25. Jenn says:

    Still not up and it’s 10:00am in Toronto!

  26. Jenna says:

    still not up and running yet:(

  27. Deb says:

    SALLY##2 – Dont know how you were able to order 3 samples of each product, as the link is not up and running as yet.

  28. actucker says:

    10:00 am in Ottawa and still waiting as well

  29. twinzzz says:

    I’m sorry i didn’t check to see what time zone the last ones went up. I’m in Ontario and still nothing.

  30. DCH says:

    LOL Sally #2 must just be trolling, the site is not active with Samples yet.

  31. ?? says:

    Sally##2: did you use that link? I can’t get in.

  32. DCH says:

    Sally #2 won’t get them anyways

    “†Limit of one brand sample per package, while quantities last. Please be advised that duplicate records will be removed.”

    Happy Monday everyone 🙂 Hope everyone gets a sample pack today!

  33. Moi says:

    Sally#2 is a SPAM BOT………trying to get a rise out of you all

    whoop!

  34. SALLY##2 says:

  35. Lori says:

  36. Diane456 says:

    Still waiting for the site to open, I keep getting forward to page that says can’t find the site, it’s 10:20 in Ontario

  37. aliza85 says:

    Herbal Essences on Facebook said it will start at 11am est time…. So here in BC it will be 8 am…. So get ready will be available in 37 Mins 🙂

  38. lisa francisco says:

    I just found out from Canadian freebies that it’s going live at 11am

  39. adriana says:

    Update: Herbal Essences has posted on their facebook page that there will be a sample from them (so we now know at least one..) and that they will be up at 11am EDST!!

  40. Lori says:

    Moi, I agree with you.
    SALLY##2, if your not a bot, if I were one of your kids and the sampler came to my door I’d keep it because I didn’t give you permission to use my address.
    lisa francisco, thank you.

  41. Deb says:

    SALLY##2 – NOT!!
    TROLL!!

  42. dee says:

  47. Tracey says:

  48. Kathleen says:

    Yes it will be right there on the main page should be there in a minute or so

  49. Night_Star says:

    *drums fingers on desk waiting*

  50. Sarah says:

    My goodness…I am getting zero work done here! *Hitting refresh over and over again*

  51. curious... says:

    what’s the difference between waiting a couple days and doing it right away? in my experience it takes a while for stuff to run out.

  52. liltiggy23 says:

    Still no luck

  53. Deb says:

    curious – usually ‘stuff’ is gone within a very short time… it doesnt stay for days.
    11:10am Ontario – still no link 🙁

  54. Lori says:

    11:13 am, I am sick of waiting but I guess I am a glutton for punishment and will continue to do so.

  55. Linda Peters says:

    12 here in the Maritimes and nothing yer

  56. dee says:

    11:19 and still nothing!

  57. Deanna says:

    Maybe it isn’t today? How do we know that it is today anyways?

  58. Veggout says:

    WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  59. Sandra says:

    AGAIN, the link does not work. We can’t even advise P&G or a problem.

  60. heather says:

    um..not it’s not working yet

  61. DJ says:

    11:24 and it’s up and running 🙂

  62. BEth says:

    Ontario…just got mine
    Went back to the home page though for the brand sampler and went from there instead of following the link

  63. leslie738 says:

    I followed the link and had no problem. In Ontario

  64. Stahr says:

    Was able to log in at 11:20 am but then got kicked out –

    We’re sorry!

    We are experiencing high traffic volumes and your request cannot be processed at the moment.

    Please try again shortly.

  65. amberjenn says:

    Samples are up!!

  66. mummyto2 says:

    Its working I ordered my samples 🙂

  67. adriana says:

    It’s up!!! Herbal Essences, Pringles, Puffs, Olay face cleanser, 2 in 1 action packs… There’s a few that I forgot now

  68. Jeff says:

    Do you get to select the samples you want, I’m new to this and I didn’t get to select from ones that were available it just said that the samples are in the mail

  69. natalia says:

    it is working now in Alberta

  70. nelkamal1979 says:

    It worked for me @ 830am PST

  71. Lori says:

    Worked finally. Ordered the Hello Hydration Shampoo, Facial Wipes, Tissue, and Itchy Scalp Shampoo and it went through great. I know the rule is three samples only but if I get the four this time, I will try for more next time around. P&G needs to work on their speed though.

  72. Night_Star says:

    Got mine – now back to work! lol

  73. Lindsay says:

    Yeah … It worked! My samples are on the way within the next 4-6 weeks!

    What I’d love to know is when the PGBrandSampleformen site has samples available. The site says samples will be available in April.

  74. heather says:

    I got Herbal Essences Shampoo, tissues, Pringles Stix, new cover girl foundation, scope, cascade, and a fabreeze thingy 🙂 wahooo

  75. Sarah says:

    Woohoo – I got my samples and had no trouble with the speed of the site.

  76. adriana says:

    3 samples only? They usually send me all of the ones I requested.
    @Jeff, yes, you select the samples you want.
    Did anybody get the Covergirl foundation? …I really wanted that one!!

  77. Deanna says:

    Ok, I was wrong! It is working!! I got mine! Is it true that you get more variety to chose from if you select none instead of any of their products? Last time I chose some of their products and didn’t get as many options as I did this time! However, I haven’t bought much from them lately! Can’t wait to try the new samples!

  78. pester says:

    I can’t get the inital screen to disappear, where is says “Great News! …..”. I am unable to login as the main page is in the background and I can’t get to it. Is anyone else experiencing this?

  79. Sakura S says:

    It’s up and no razor for me this time

  80. Emily says:

    Got mine! 🙂 I didn’t get many samples but I’m not complaining.

  81. Moi says:

    PESTER……..try using FIREFOX………otherwise perhaps REFRESH????

    Good luck!

    All good here ….. ordered!

  82. stuffedpandapuppet says:

    Crest oral care bundle
    Scope outlast
    Cascade all in 1 action pacs

    Signed up bf and got some weird thing that had only one option, like:
    “New and exciting samples”…well whatever got him that anyway, the stuff in the picture looks pretty good!

  83. Zay says:

    Got mine too! Hooray

  84. sean says:

    I can’t remember, are we supposed to select ‘store brand’ to get more samples?

  85. Natalka says:

    Wow, someone got nine, I thought it was amazing to get my six!

    No shampoo samples came up for me, though.
    I got
    CG foundation
    Crest oral bundle
    Olay facecloth
    Scope outlast
    Cascade pacs
    Pringles stix (yay, have never tried these, and didn’t get them last time!)
    Puffs tissues
    Febreeze set and refresh

  86. TallNFunny says:

    Where do we get to choose which samples we want? I answered the survey and it said my samples would be sent. No indication of what they are sending!!

  87. shawnmikey716 says:

    It won’t let me log in 🙁 it says my email is not registered (when I know it is) and then when I try to register it says my email is already registered! No samples for me I guess 🙁

  88. Sakura S says:

    What did ppl choose to get cover girl foundation?

  89. dawn says:

    The site is up and I got all the samples took some time they wanted new security checks . what a pain next time it should be faster . TallNFunny some times you do not get to choose if they are almost out some times you get them all just have to wait and see.

  90. adriana says:

    Choose “Store Brand” to get the cover girl foundation! Tried it with another email and it worked

  91. Kevin says:

    Working now

  92. Christy says:

    I got my samples!

  93. Liz says:

    It works now 🙂 just got my stuff 🙂

  94. twinzzz says:

    @ Jeff you do not get to choose as (i am sorry to say) i suspect you are male. I oredered for my husband and he also did not get to choose what he wanted.

    Got mine and 1 for a friend who can’t acces these at work. Yipeee!!!

  95. Kelly says:

    Awesome samples!

  96. Natalka says:

    Mens are up. You can use the same sign-in now for both.
    http://brandsamplerformen.ca/en_CA/home.php

    No choice, though samples are nice.
    Gillette –
    Bodywash
    Cooling facial lotion
    fusion razor
    Thermal Scrub
    deodorant

  97. Ivan says:

    brandSAMPLER for MEN is now up too!

    I got a free Fusion Proglide razor, deodorant, body wash, face scrub and intense cooling lotion WHOOHOOO!!!!!!!!

    http://brandsamplerformen.ca

  98. Terri says:

    woo, just got a sampler for me and a men’s sampler for my man… so excited!! i think the only way i could be more excited is if we were able to do extreme couponing in canada! lol

  99. Dana says:

    yes, BrandSAMPLER for men is up now as well, I was finishing up a post on it while you guys were discussing it on here in the comments 🙂 The post is now up

  100. TallNFunny says:

    Nice. Thanks dawn for your response and thanks Dana for posting!

  101. Sakura S says:

    Ivan did you use the same address for both brandsamplers?

  102. Lilo says:

    This worked as well as the men’s brandsampler. What a fruitful Monday 😉

  103. Annie says:

    Didn’t get the crest oral package OR the CoverGirl Foundation :'(

  104. DCH says:

    I got Herbal Essences, Pringles Stix, Olay Wipes, Head&Shoulders and I passed on the cascade packs 🙁 Don’t have a dishwasher

  105. dawn says:

    you use the same info for both the samples the mens you get what they send you .

  106. DL says:

    I keep getting this!

    “We are experiencing high traffic volumes and your request cannot be processed at the moment.
    Please try again shortly.”

    So bummed about this. 🙁

  107. dawn says:

    Some of you are saying that you are getting more then one by using another e-mail that only works if you have a different address .

  108. Dee says:

    it just says you’ll be receiving great samples, but doesn’t specify what..

  109. crochetlady says:

    I didn`t get to choose samples either. I was asked 4 questions and it said samples are on their way.

  110. DCH says:

    Just got the mens one for my hubby too 🙂

  111. Terri says:

    the mens one doesn’t let you choose which samples you get, but the other one does.

    the login used for the main site works for the mens as well, you just get brought to a page to verify your info and enter the security code. they are two separate sets of samples, so they let you use the same address (at least, that’s what they said when i logged into it :p )

  112. afshi says:

    this is great..i think i got everything =). I hope the covergirl foundation is my shade, I’ve been wanting to try it….

  113. Christy says:

    I think I got everything except for the Crest package and the Febreze. My mother got them though so I’m wondering if age range has something to do with it?

  114. mia says:

    I got everything except the Cover Girl foundation,febreeze set and refresh and the HS shampoo and conditionner….grrrr i am deceived

  115. meow says:

    I actually forgot to select and choose what I wanted and scrolled straight down to confirm my address. When I logged back in, it said I already ordered. Now, I am unsure if I will actually get ANY samples at all. =(

  116. Twinmommy says:

    It told me to choose four of the following products, but then allowed me to choose six! I hope they all come!

  117. A.K. says:

    Awww…I didn’t get the Cover Girl foundation. Well, the other things are nice!

  118. Hilda says:

    Thanks!!

  119. MR says:

    bug in the site … I filled in the reg and when I submitted it it sent me back to the blank form grrrr

  120. Lori says:

    I’ve always been under the impression that people could only order 3 samples but today I ordered four, what is the definite number of samples one can order if there is one. Also how do you fill out the form in order to see all the sample offerings.

  121. Michelle says:

    When I did mine it said choose AT LEAST four which I don’t remember seeing before, I wonder if its always said that and I just read it as pick 4. When I did it for my mother she didn’t get the option to pick her samples, it just said samples are on the way.

  122. Corbinx says:

    Thanks!
    I got all of the 10 samples as did my sister. My mother-in-law said she got 8 and my mom’s just showed a picture of a bunch of things saying “your samples are on the way”. I’ve never gotten all of the samples before so I am so excited to finally have qualified for all the goodies!!!

  123. Diane456 says:

    Only got 5 samples this time and my mom didn’t get to choose it just said your samples will arrive….. I wonder how they decide who gets to choose and what? Anyone Know? Thanks 🙂

  124. Diane456 says:

    My friend just did it and got 11 samples, 2 of them different Herbal Essence Shampoos……How do you get them all?

  125. DoodlesMom says:

    well the site’s finally up and it looks like they figured out a way to eliminate the duplicate addys – you have to provide additional information this time and it tells you if you’re already set to receive the sample box.

    Looks like a good one this time, can’t wait.

  126. adriana says:

    I would always order and receive more than 4 samples.. I think it’s great that they have one for men too with the same login!
    Does anybody have the complete list of samples that were offered this time? 🙂

  127. Nadine says:

    I seriously got TEN samples this time, yahoo! Oh, I chose “Maybelline” to get the Cover Girl foundation sachets.

  128. Tams says:

    Well, having never done this before I was able to get 5 samples. Choosing a different makeup brand (Loreal, in my case) didn’t produce the Cover Girl foundation sample for me. I’m curious as to how they determine who gets what samples. Anyone know? Would have loved to get them all but am happy with the 5. Maybe next time…

  129. meguwo says:

    Mine says experiencing high traffic volumes? Anyone else?

  130. wannawin says:

    hey guess what!? i didn’t sit around on my computer waiting for freebies…i just logged on at 7:00 pm and got everything available!

  131. samantha says:

    I guess I scored! I got 10

    Herbal essence
    Covergirl foundation
    febreeze
    olay
    scope
    crest
    puffs
    head & shoulders
    pringles
    cascade

  132. IRefuseToPayFullPrice says:

    Got all 10 as well 🙂

  133. meguwo says:

    Man I have tried so many times and I keep getting the high volume error after I fill out that darn form over and over again! LOL!

  134. Ciel says:

    Thanks for the alert! Was able to get the Stix in my mix of 4 items.

  135. stressedmuch says:

    I got all 10 too! Yay! I usually pick non PG brands or just store brand. Don’t say NONE or they will assume you don’t use that product:)

  136. ryanmike says:

    I have been getting the high traffic message all day.

  137. Deanna says:

    I used none and got about 8 I believe, so using none did work for me! I think if you say none they think you need to try their product, I don’t know! Love this promotion, just signed my fiance up for his!! 🙂

    My mom was able to get the febreeze whereas I got the Cascade. I thought it was funny that she got that, it’s ok cause I wouldn’t use it.

  138. FatB says:

    I got to choose from 10, but I only chose 5 since I doubt I’d use the rest.

  139. mydoglugnut says:

    I am a little confused. I just went through the process, getting the samples for my husband (which as others say you cannot choose they just tell you that they will be sending some stuff via the brandsampler site), and then noticed here that people are saying that you can sign up for brandsampler for men as well. The fine print on both sites say that samples can only be sent to one address and duplicates will be removed.

    Now if you only sign up for one (brandsampler), that’s great, you are free and clear, but if you sign up for both (mens and regular brandsampler), and they are going to the same address, doesn’t that violate their rules? (2 sets of samples to same home address of different brandsample pages)

    Won’t that cancel receiving something?

    Thanks

  140. mel says:

    im i the only one who’s page wont allow ne to put in the # part of my address??? please help

  141. Dana says:

    @ mydoglugnut- They are two separate promotions so it is perfectly acceptable to sign up for both the BrandSAMPLER and the BrandSAMPLER for Men. I have signed up for both in the past and they both came without any problems 🙂

  142. Dana says:

    mel- what happens when you try and input your address? If you tell me specifically what is happening I will try my best to help you, I make no promises though 🙂

  143. mel says:

    so i put in my postal code. my street comes up and i select it. then i go to street # and i see the cursor but i cant type anything in it. i attempt to put my house # in the Apt space but when i click ok is says “please put in your street number” and i still cant type anything in that field. Grrr. my keyboard is good and its not a computer issue

  144. Sally says:

    Theres a huge glitch in their new computer program. For instance it said samples have been ordered already for me because the town lists that its just a po box and someone from my town already ordered!!! WTF EH! Anyways after 20 minutes of fooling around with the form it accepted.

  145. mel says:

    ugh..so frustrating. still no progress. and i want SAMPLES!!! lol

  146. Dana says:

    Hmmm, that is strange Mel, I would suggest that you e-mail P&G about the problems you are experiencing, here is the link to their e-mail form: http://pgcanadaen.custhelp.com/app/ask/p/663/session/L3NpZC9GMWpPZ2dyaw%3D%3D

    I hope that you get some help and get your samples, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!

  147. mel says:

    thanks anyway. i will

  148. Lori says:

    I live in town but I pick up my mail at a community mail box. We all have the same postal code. Only the name of the town would come up on the drop down box for my street address. It would not allow me to put anything in the other boxes. So frustrating!! Having a common postal code means you can’t even order pizza online because it takes it as an outlying community address.

  149. couponmom says:

    I will get 4 samples. I guess the later you apply, the less samples are offered. I did check off store brand and non P & G brands. Had problems with the wrong house # and I could not change it.

  150. Natty says:

    Still getting the down because of volume message ):

  151. Jen says:

    Me too. Yet when I texted two friends about it being live, they got on right away.

  152. TudorChick says:

    ordered mine.i never buy anything without trying it first…

  153. meguwo says:

    So I purposely got up now so I wouldn’t get the darn high traffic message as at 4am I would ASSUME it would be slower….but NO… still not getting through to do too much volume…. urgh.

  154. meguwo says:

    For those who can’t select their address #- Put your address to the “…” and then back to the street name and then a pop down list should appear to put in the house number.

  155. mydoglugnut says:

    @ Dana

    Thank you for your reassuring response. I am glad that I won’t be cancelled out for sending them both to the same address.

    🙂

  156. Jen says:

    Still getting high volume message. Why is this working for some and not for others??

  157. Mel says:

    I have been trying since yesterday at noon time and every time I try it says there is “high traffic” so it won’t let me log on. I even tried at 3am and it was the same message. Has anybody been having the same issue?

    How quickly do these samples usually run out? I’m a newbie to this…

  158. Jennifer says:

    It’s told me I can pick 4 from the list but I was able to pick all of them. What happens now? Do I only get the 4 random products or all of them I picked from the list?

  159. Grace says:

    I’ve been having the same problem with the address # since yesterday. I am not able to type in my street number, and obviously the site won’t let me proceed because there’s a field missing! Grrrr.

    @Jennifer…. it probably said pick AT LEAST four. I still haven’t been able to get on but that’s always what it’s been in the past. Pick AT LEAST 4 or all of them.

  161. abbott94 says:

    I got 12 samples
    For the 4 questions asked, I selected store brand, neutrogena, store brand and then other.. When I did it for my husband it did not let me choose, it just said they would be sent out.

    I also just did the brandsampler for men for my dad and my husband and they each got 5 different samples

  163. patty says:

    Thank you…

    Still nothing i’ve been trying to get in for 2 days but it still says high traffic….

  166. Jen says:

    Same for me. It’s been 30 hrs now. Tried late at night and first thing in the morning.

  167. Chris says:

    Also getting the high traffic message. I’ve tried with mine, my sisters, and my mothers household information. Neither of them have registered for this sample before and the message is the same. Bizarre.

  168. Claylex says:

    Ahh I missed all the good ones! I really wanted the white strips? How many came in that sample!?

  169. Jen says:

    Finally got on! Received 9… Can only remember:

    Okay
    Cover girl
    Febreeze
    Pringles
    Herbal essence
    Puffs

    Guess the other 3 will be a surprise!

    I STILL can’t get through…. ughhhh this sucks! I am on a Mac with Bell internet… is this why?!?! LOL

  171. mary says:

    Well I got in and did the short survey then went to the last page but there was no selections there. So I guess I won’t be getting any samples then? Well that sucks.

  172. Natty says:

    Guess it isn’t meant to be! Still getting the high volume message!

  173. megan says:

    I just requested mine today and got my samples!!! Sometimes you just need to refresh the page =)

  174. Grace says:

    The street number error has finally been corrected. I was finally able to get through today and only got 4 samples, but it’s better than nothing! I got the Covergirl foundation, Crest oral care package, Head & Shoulders, and Herbal Essences. I’ll take them 🙂

    @ megan – what page are you refreshing?
