Send Me A Sample is the only US sampling program where you ask out loud and a free product shows up in the mail. The platform partners with global brands — Coca-Cola, Diageo, Unilever, Liquid I.V., Chomps, and others — and routes requests through Alexa and Google Assistant. There is no card, no shipping fee, and you do not even need an Amazon Prime membership.
What you’ll get
The active brand list rotates frequently — usually three to seven brands available in the US at any one time. Whatever is live shows on the Send Me A Sample dashboard the morning new samples drop.
- Food and snacks: recent rotations have featured Chomps beef stick singles, Liquid I.V. hydration packets, Folgers coffee, and Nutella single-serve cups.
- Beverages: Coca-Cola flavor launches, Diet Coke variants, energy drinks from Diageo’s portfolio.
- Beauty and personal care: Benefit Cosmetics minis, Clarins for Men trial sizes (rotating).
- Household: occasional Unilever cleaning and laundry single-use packs.
- One sample per product per shipping address — you cannot stack the same product twice on a household.
Sample sizes are small (single-serve or trial-size) but they are full retail samples, not packets, and they ship totally free. Pair with our PINCHme guide for a monthly free build-your-own box and the Starbucks Rewards birthday drink for an annual coffee freebie that covers a different category.
Eligibility
- US residents — also live in the UK, Canada, Ireland, Germany, and a few other markets.
- Age 18 or older (some samples enforce 21+ for alcohol-adjacent brands).
- One sample per product per shipping address.
- Smart speaker required — Amazon Echo (any generation) for Alexa, or any Google Assistant device including Nest Mini, Pixel phone, or Google Home.
- You can also use the Alexa app on iOS/Android — no physical Echo required.
How to claim it
- Visit sendmeasample.com to see which brands are currently active in your country.
- Enable the Send Me A Sample skill on Alexa: open the Alexa app, search “Send Me A Sample,” and tap “Enable to Use.” For Google Assistant, simply say the trigger phrase — Google does not require a separate skill activation.
- Say to your speaker or app: “Alexa, ask Send Me A Sample for [brand name]” or “Hey Google, ask Send Me A Sample for [brand name].”
- The first time you use the skill, it asks for your name, email, age confirmation, and shipping address. Confirm each one out loud.
- Once confirmed, the skill announces that your sample is on the way and emails you a confirmation.
- Repeat the request line for each brand you want — but only one of each product per address.
- Sample arrives in 7-14 days for most brands, occasionally up to 28 days for newly-launched campaigns.
What to expect after signing up
You get a confirmation email immediately after the request and an order shipped email within a few days. Most samples arrive via USPS or local courier in 7-14 days. The brand may also follow up with a single email asking for a quick review of the product or pointing you toward a discount on the full-size version. Send Me A Sample sends a monthly digest email when new samples become available — that is the only way to know what new brands have been added without checking the website. Cross-platform support is good: an Alexa member can also use Google Assistant on the same account, just speak the same request.
Watch out for
Three honest things. First, samples are limited stock — popular brands run out within hours of launch. Setting up the skill once means you can request immediately whenever your monthly digest email lands. Second, the skill captures your address as a voice profile on Alexa and Google. If multiple people use the same speaker, the request defaults to the primary account holder unless each user has voice ID configured. That can cause samples to ship to the wrong person in a shared household. Third, sharing a single home address across multiple smart-speaker accounts triggers fraud filters — Send Me A Sample blocks duplicate addresses on the same brand. Marketing email follow-up from individual brands is the typical trade; volume is light. The brand selection is genuinely small at any one moment — three to seven active US brands is normal — so do not expect a constant fire hose of new samples.
FAQ
Do I need an Echo or can I use my phone?
You can use the free Alexa app on iOS or Android — speak the request into the app’s voice button. A physical Echo or Nest Mini works the same way but is not required.
How often do new samples drop?
The platform rotates new brands weekly, with bigger launches concentrated around major holidays and product launch windows (Super Bowl, summer beverage rollouts, holiday baking, back-to-school).
Is it really free, including shipping?
Yes. There is no card requirement, no shipping fee, and no skill subscription. The brand pays Voxly Digital (Send Me A Sample’s parent company) per delivered sample.
Can I request the same sample again?
No. The platform enforces one sample per product per shipping address. If a brand re-launches with a new variant or a new SKU, that counts as a new request.
What if my speaker does not understand the brand name?
Open the website at sendmeasample.com to see the exact spelling of the active brand, then re-speak the request. Some brands also list a short alternate phrase like “Ask Send Me A Sample for the latest sample” that returns whatever is currently featured.
Final word
Send Me A Sample is one of the easiest free-sample programs in the US — the friction is essentially zero once you have the skill set up. Enable it tonight, subscribe to the monthly digest, and request whatever shows up in the email. You will not get a sample every week, but the ones you do get arrive without paperwork or a shipping fee. It is the cleanest freebie habit a smart-speaker household can build.
