Sample from Organo Gold Coffee

Since signing up for this one, I have received several emails, including asking for mailing addy, etc.
Tonight, at 8:40 pm, I received a prerecorded solicitation telephone call. They are "selling" their multi level distributorship's.
Still no mention of free samples. Just the dreaded telemarketing call I'd previously predicted when this offer first appeared.
I've "unliked" their FB page, and "reported" them as SPAM.
Of course, I did say previously I had a very low expectation of ever receiving this "sample".

You could try emailing them if you want one and tell them you haven't received it.
It does state on their FB wall they're looking for distributors. (I mentioned that in my January post too)
Per FB Page: "We just mailed another 100 sample packs. Thank you so much for your patience. I promise you it's worth the wait. If you have not received your samples yet email me at goodhealthyjava@gmail.com" |

Marie, Thanks for your response.
After the phone solicitation, and posting my previous message, I took the necessary steps, and fired off an "angry" message to them. Well, as "angry" as I get when social engineering and trying to score free stuff. We'll just pretend I'm angry. OK? :)
Of course, in my message to them, I used one of my favorite lines, which often works like a charm. It is, "Do you think at this moment that you deserve a second chance to make a good first impression?"
You know me, and my passion for coffee, so I probably do not need to say more. For me, Free coffee ranks right up there with usb pen drives (4 since 11/2011 after a multi year drought) and T-shirts(only 1 after more than a dozen in 2011). BUT, I also got a (name brand) laptop computer FREE in January, so 2012 should be a very good year for my free stuff stalking. lol
Anyways....
Surprise, surprise. I received a response a few moments ago to my "message". It said,
quote: Mr. Michael P, I apologize for a bad first impression and I would like to mail your coffee samples to you on Monday with your permission. Please message me back your mailing address and I will see to it you get the samples we offered. As far as the phone call this has been much much bigger than we ever expected so we had to find a way to get our information in the hands of as many people without having to personally call everyone. I promise you our efforts were with good intentions.
xxxxx xxxxxxx
So, I'll update later in the week, if/when I remember or actually receive "samples".
Seems like a lot of work for a cup of coffee.

Today at 2:13 pm I received another message. It said, "Mr. Michael P, I just put your sample pack in the mail. Please message me once you receive it. xxxxx xxxxxx"
Amazing what a message can get across with just a few words. Still, I have memories of a poor first impression from them, and will most likely continue too.
As Bruce Willis once said, "Yippee kaiyea." :)
And to quote Arnold, "I'll be baaack."

Today my mail person delivered a package from the Ogano Coffee person.
A large manilla envelope containing 5 single serve sample packages. They are: Black Coffee Cafe Noir, Gourmet Cafe Mocha, Gourmet Cafe Latte, Gourmet Cafe Supreme, and Green Tea The Vert.
All are "instant" (Use very hot water) 1 cup servings in foild type pouches. All contain an added ingredient, "Ganoderma" extract.
Also some promo literature, a copy of a news paper style article, explaining "ganoderma", which I have not read.
Postage was $1.98 with a delivery confirmation.
That's it. I'm done with this "sample" request and report.
