Samples Received/Redeemed: 24 - 28 September 2012

I was debating whether I should post a review yesterday or wait until today to blog about the samples I may be redeeming from TSS the final time. TSS won here as I am going to gripe about their "un-initiativeness". (Don't worry My Scheming, you're still my #1. All these TSS facial masks are for my mother, except for the Snail Mucin one which I am keeping for myself ^^ )

Well, samples I've redeemed/received from 24 September to 28 September (2012). These The Sample Store samples will probably be the last batch I am redeeming from them. If you're unsure why, go check out my previous post regarding TSS.

But in short, allow me to put it this way. Previously when delivery charges were S$2.99, I can overlook the fact that:

• I need to email TSS every single time I credited money to my account
• I need to send more than 1 email to remind TSS that I credited money to my account
• My saved items miraculously goes kaput after a mere 24 horus, making me hunt down what I've previously saved
• TSS have a flawed system where initiative is never the main objective

But after increasing their delivery charges to S$3.99, with nary an update anywhere on their site, blog or Facebook page, I cannot overlook the fact that:

• I need to email TSS every single time I credited money to my account
• I need to send more than 1 email to remind TSS that I credited money to my account
• My saved items miraculously goes kaput after a mere 24 horus, making me hunt down what I've previously saved
• TSS have a flawed system where initiative is never the main objective

In other words, there's no improvement on TSS part at all. And I thought that after TSS slyly, secretly, cunningly and deceptively increased their delivery charges by another extra S$1.00, their service would improve, but nope. I had to send 2 emails just to remind them that I had money credited to my account. It's not once, it's every single time. Where, exactly, is their initiative?

Probably gone down the drain when they think and also know that they are the only organization in Singapore that provides samples at a fixed price. In other words, I went from a satisfied customer of TSS to a very unhappy one right now. From now on, whenever TSS have new samples, I really have to take a longer took and decide whether future new samples are worth S$3.99. If not, I'll just bid and wait until they offer stuffs that do not need their users to pay anything at all.

Without further ado, here's a look at the stuffs that I redeemed/received:

Mail from Abbott and TSS.

Previously, I've mentioned that it was from an email sent by omy.sg. They were looking for interested bloggers to test this new product and 1 winner would be chosen from all the blog entries, should I decide to join. Well, I forgot to make an blog entry for it as the "time-frame" was too short. It didn't help that their "sample" was decided to be delivered later than it was actually promised.

What I didn't forget was to bug a friend for her particulars so we both can get mystery gift(s) from Abbott. This IS the mystery gift and now, I have 2 quantities of this product and still no contact lenses.. -_-"

Ahh.. so many facial masks redeemed from TSS, which may probably be the last time I am redeeming anymore things from them. Once "classified" and "translated" to Chinese (my mother don't understand English lah~), almost all of it will be given to my mother to use. I'm keeping the "scheming" ones. Mu~fufufu~
