    Lightbulb a question about freebies-opinions appreciated

    ok this is my opinion only but I think freebies that require s&h or company names should either be titled as such or maybe we could have a different section on the forum for these so we all can save time and not have to actually go to the site and go...hmmm darn another one of these.even though the s&h might be cheap to me it still isnt free and most want a credit card and Im sure some people like myself either doesn't have a credit card or bother with putting their card number online for privacy reasons.this way we save time not having to fill out forms for something we may never get if we aren't business owners.and it's also convenient for the business owners we do have here as members cause Im sure these companies get tired of orders from non businesses.it's just a thought not trying to ruffle any feathers or make anyone mad.

    I myself appreciate the ones that take the time to post the freebies for all of us to get and dont mind hitting the back button if it is something i am not interested in. Small price to pay for their effort of taking the time to post the freebie

    I do agree... but the "freebies" that include shipping should go in the big deals board b/c it's a good deal (free) but you still have to pay something for it... As for ones that have company name involved, it would be nice if they put a little note in the subject line like "company info required"

    There is already a section for the freebies that require a s&h fee and that is the big deals forum. Also any religious freebies are supposed to be posted in the religious forum. I agree that if something requires a company name that it would be nice if the poster could mention that in the thread title. I have noticed that a lot of the people that post in the free stuff forum don't post in any of the other forums so they might not know that there are specific forums for things although there is a sticky thread at the top of the free stuff forum so maybe they do.
