This is funny I got the same one back on Nov. 17th from Christie Amato (PA) see below..... Hi there. My name is Christie Amato and I am a consumer that is making approximately 50 beauty and bath gift baskets for Christmas gifts this year. I'd like to put products in the baskets that I stand behind and that I have sampled myself and think they are great! Is there any way that you would be able to send me a small sample of what your best products are before I decide to purchase anything? I'd be happy to pay for the shipping, if that makes things any easier for you. Thanks in advance and have a great day-Christie Amato (PA) My response to this ??? See below..... Hi Christie, I would love to send you some samples to try out, however we do not give free product out. You are more then welcome to purchase something small like tealights or votives to sample yourself off of our website. I'm very sorry but I am not in the charity business, you wouldn't walk into Walmart and ask if you could sample some of their products off the shelfs before you purchased them and expect them to say yes. So then I receive this email back....... Thanks for your response, but I do like to sample something before I make the committment to buy a large quantity. My goal is not be thought of as a charity type thing. And my response to this........ Hi Christie, I understand that you aren't looking for a charity type of thing, but even as a business owner myself when I am looking for other items to put into our gift baskets that we sell, I buy samples from other wholesalers. That is just the respectful thing to do. I do not expect them for free, especially from a small business who hand makes everything. You should try Yankee Candle. They might send you some free samples. Thanks for your time. She must be pretty stupid because she responded to this that she was going to try them. :rolleyes2
