Do you dread collecting your mail, knowing there’ll only be bills or advertising clogging up your mailbox?
Wouldn’t it be nice to actually look forward to your postie’s visit, knowing that you might have a treat arriving? And better yet, a FREE treat!?

From baby products and pet food to skincare and snacks, we’ve scoured the internet to find all the best free samples available to Australian residents.
See if your fussy pet likes a different variety of food, try out a new moisturiser, or get experimental with your tea-drinking.
Pro Tip: Survey sites often need members to test products and give feedback. This can mean free samples of great products. Read our picks for the best survey sites in Australia.
