Well, almost anyway!

5 vials for 3 bucks with free shipping! You can't beat that with a stick.

I have said it before, I just can not justify buying 30-40 1oz bottles of fo to 'see' if I am going to like it, or if it will make me gag. Why would you when you can get vials at SOS (and at Southern Garden) for such a reasonable price? That is just good customer service. There are WAY TOO MANY fragrance supplies out there for them to think they do not have to earn our business. Just sayin'!

Honestly, when I have a customer make contact with me & say "I think I would like to buy 16 bars of so&so soap, but I am not sure about the scent?" I certainly don't say "Buy a bar & see if you like what I make." Absolutleynot! I send a sampl, comp the shipping & earn a faithful customer for life. Why don't the supply houses do the same? I am not suggesting they lose money, but if their scents are all-that, they will earn a customer for life for the price of a postage stamp. Isn't it woth it?
 
Agreed!

If there are any suppliers reading thei thread:

I spend thousands of dollars per year (as many of us do) with my favorite suppliers. It's worth the cost of a stamp to get me to sample your wares. It's very cheap advertisment when you think about it. .49 cents for a thousand dollar return.
 
I checked, it is the full dram, nice you can use it for lotion after your done sniffing!, also they have lots of clearance now, patch/honey for under 2$ for an ounce, I like their shipping, not a flat 8$ for one item!
 
Thanks for the heads up on this offer. I ordered a couple of clearance FOs and three sniffie samplers. So nice to be able to try before you buy, especially given what I've spent on FOs recently. Y'all are a bunch of enablers. :wink:
 
I ordered some also, but its taking awhile to recieve? I already got my other orders, that were placed after this one.
 
Well, it all sounds wonderful but I think it can only work for a small enterprise.
In my experience, it's never just the cost of a stamp: cost of the vials, the product itself, labor to fill and pack said vials (which would be hundreds a day, in our case), + shipping (and I have yet to see a 49¢ charge for shipping)
If it was a guaranteed return of a lifelong customer who spends a thousand a year, there would be not question but sadly, there are a lot of people looking for freebies and nothing else, and who's to tell the difference?
 
I still havent gotten my order, so I called them, they were really nice, I guess they have had ice storms in georgia.
