This site is fantastic as it provides many opportunities to sample products on the market before you buy the full size product. I have received at least 15 samples and this has lead me to purchase the full product in store.

What a fantastic site to try new products without having to pay for it...

Ihave been lucky to "Pinch" 32 samples since it started and was the top "Pincher" one month and received $1000 in woolworths vouchers...

Three weeks ago I would have given PinchMe a much better rating, but it now looks like it's falling apart. There have not been samples in weeks, and it doesn't look like there will be any more in a hurry.

It's a shame, because if I sample something and either myself, my partner or my kids like it, we buy!

I love Pinchme, so far I have got 14 samples. My daughter checks the mail all the time wondering if we are getting a sample from pinchme. When we get one she rips it open. We enjoy sampling together. I notice some people miss out but its very popular but hey its free and its a bonus to try before you buy. Most of the things I sampled I have purchased. Somethings I would not of known about if I hadnt got the samples.

It is a great site in delivering free samples of new products, however their services is a bit low. I have contacted their services several times for services such as damaged products and products that have not been delivered to me but they do not help you in any way, they only say sorry.

I've had really positive experiences with pinchme. I've received quite a few samples all of which were delivered free of charge and normally within 7 days. Although the site has gone from samples everyday to now one sample a week it's still a fantastic service which has allowed me to sample many products for free. It can be a bit difficult to get a sample at times and I've missed out a few times but that is to be expected in my opinion. Overall a great service and I'm hapy to be a member!

I have been a member for a few months now and agree with the other reviews. I have received a few samples at the start which was great. I go on every day and have missed the last three samples. I then have to wait about six days for the next sample to be available. The samples are high quality when I get one. I am now allowed to order a sample a day because I have earned a certain amount of points, but there is just not enough samples for everyone.

Great concept. Not enough samples! Maybe they weren't expecting so many people to join the site or there just isn't enough suppliers willing to give away free samples....
You have to be quick & they only release on Tuesdays, which is hard if you are working, with kids etc...
If you have nothing better to do than wait on Tuesdays (with no specific times) for a sample, it's good.
I have managed to get a few & have loved it...no postage to pay, it's catch free apart from doing a review.
They need to release fewer samples & spread them out over different days & times so everyone gets a fair go. But at the end of the day you are getting something for free...

Well since my review in May...I have to say this site has greatly improved...they are getting lots more sample numbers & the last 2 weeks of samples have been staggered releases so it is a lot fairer & everyone has a better chance of getting one...loving all the new things I get to try...I would upgrade them to a 3-4 star now.

I think they overadvertised in the start and now unable to meet the standards they have set. Kudos to them for changing rules to accommodate all. I have received samples in the start but became more difficult to attain in the last few weeks where I was refreshing the page then al of the sudden, out of stock. It's not their fault though for they cant control how much they are supplied to. But they have a lot of work to do and I believe they can make it.

Agreed, but they gave an expectation to customers which they are unable to deliver, which is false and misleading.

While the website is easy to negotiate, this really isn't a good site for people who work: by the time you get to your lunch break or home at the end of the day, there are rarely any samples left. If you don't have a Facebook account, it's going to take a while to go up any levels at all. On the plus side, when you can snag a sample, they arrive quickly, and the review process is easy. I have as yet only received one email from them other than my confirmation email.

What I find most frustrating about this site isn't the low numbers of samples compared to demand, however, but the fact that there are rarely any samples at all: we usually have to wait until Tuesday for samples, and some weeks there are only one or two items available. More samples in terms of choice would be fantastic.
