Do you request for free samples?

Hi, I have noticed that there a lot of offers for free samples,freebies,testing products for those residing in U.S.A.,Canada or U.K. but very few for us Indians? Why do you think this discrepancy exists? Do you think it is because the companies in India mostly sell well without sending free samples for people to try and then like the product enough to be buying it on a regular basis? I have so far received free samples on request from Colgate,Dove shampoo,Listerine but there are few sample offers for our country and it is difficult to keep track of which company is giving out which free product. What is your say on this?

Well, nothing in life comes free. Samples, I suggest stay away from them, they might be harmful/ non tested. I've had a friend of mine hospitalized once.

Hi, How did it happen?With which brand's sample?I normally request samples of the reputed brands like Dove,Pantene etc which I can shampoo with or toothpastes which have already been launched in the market like Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief.
