A special thanks going out to fancy818. I found these offers through the candy site she posted. [Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]
Just send a 33 cent stamp with info to address they give you. (For each)?
These are all personalized with specified name.
soccor or baseball beanbag
blue or pink teddybear-also birthdate and name
a 12 pack of pencils
small plastic piggy bank-pink or blue

I don't think we should give this person (people) any more attention until someone actually has a piece of FREE candy in there mouth. (Just my personal opinion)

I'm sure it's legit. She's making good money from the advertising. Why would she just want 33cent stamps?? It seems like a lot of work just to 'steal' a 33cent stamp )

If you guys go to the main site for Terrashare, her name is listed, as well as her assistants. I do not know if it is legitimate, as I only requested the candy today too, but the site is very well developed if you look through it all, and she explains why she needs the 33 cent stamp. I am willing to give it a try, but I did look over the home page info first.

Yes there is a
Hercules, CA. It is in the SF Bay Area, next to Richmond, CA, and the zip code is correct. I used to live about 10 miles from there.

They list their names, reasons companies are willing to give away all this stuff, and answers about ordering. Seems almost too good to be true, but I'm ordering anyway!

Talking

I got something!

Actually, I have not received an actual freebie yet... I thought the site looked fishy so I only ordered two things, figuring that at worst I'm out three stamps.

It's been about four weeks. I got a catalog from the company that offered the personalized teddy bear. They also sent me a printed out page with the message that it'll be at least two month before my bear is sent out, due to demand and the time it takes to print the personalization.

Lots of good stuff in the catalog too, but very expensive. I believe they gave out the teddy bear just to send a load of coupons for things like free shipping from their catalog on your first order... which might have been an insentive to buy something if I had the money to spend on frills like personalized labels/mugs/etc.

The second thing I ordered is an address label sample and I haven't heard anything about it.

I think the best thing to do when you find a "too good to be true" deal like this is to try it with ONE order first, and see if it comes. That way at the worst you are out just one SASE or stamp plus the cost of shipping. then if your stuff comes you can always go back and get more. I think it's a HUGE MISTAKE to send a large order right away, because it really may turn out to be a scam. I was amazed (and very sceptical) about the stuff found on the website. But on the other hand I have seen advertisements on other freebie websites to those same address label and stationary samples, so maybe it just LOOKS too good to be true because all these great looking freebies are listed together, unlike on some sites where you also see junky stuff like "free sticker with a Bozo Auto Repair company logo." In other words I really don't know what to make of it. :-) I was very happy to get a confirmation about my order, I definitely think I'll get what I asked for, since the company received my order AND they aknowledge that they offered a free item.

I would like to hear from others who ordered something. I'm thinking of ordering more things, but seeing that I have not actually received anything yet, I'm not going to jump until I hear that someone else has, or until I actually have my ordered item in my hands.
