Select up to 3 items per week
You have a strict limit of 3 entries weekly (unused attempts expire and do not roll over). Click the trial option, choose your correct size, verify a delivery address within the active store's country, and submit the application. If the shipping destination is invalid, your request will be declined.
Sizing verification and delivery location control
Track system updates
The final update typically takes about a week to process. Open "My Free Trial / My Requests" to review your current status. An "Approved" tag indicates you were selected and stand a chance to receive the package; "Rejected" confirms your entry was not accepted this time.

Submit your review within 10 days
Once you receive the parcel, test the product to grade its quality, style, fit, fabric, and durability. Draft a comprehensive review featuring clear pictures (one full-body photo and two detail shots are recommended). Send your assessment via the designated button and track progress under "My Report". Aim to finish before the 10th day.

Check My Report and your point balance
After submitting your review, visit My Report to verify it has been recorded. An accepted evaluation typically grants 20 points. If the system marks it as a "Quality Report", you could gain 100 extra points. These points do not guarantee future selections, but simply reflect your activity history.

Revise your report if it appears as Rejected
If your report status changes to Rejected, rules generally allow an extra chance to edit it. In My Report, locate the Rewrite tool. Use it to improve the text (focusing on quality, style, fit, fabric, and finishing), replace blurry photos, and resubmit within the deadline. Do not leave a rejected report uncorrected, as it can lower your odds in future selections.

How does the product testing process actually work?
Based on your saved preferences—such as apparel, cosmetics, footwear, or home goods—the platform shows you the available catalogs open for requests at that time. If chosen and upon receiving your package, the essential task is writing a clear and detailed review featuring original images. Well-constructed feedback offers great value to fellow shoppers in the store. This summary serves as an introduction. On the following page, we explain the sequence of practical steps so you have full clarity on how to proceed. Available slots are very limited. Popular items claim requests quickly; therefore, delaying your application may lead to missing your chance.Which product categories feature open rounds most frequently?
These are the departments that regularly feature open sampling opportunities:- Fashion: tops and t-shirts, seasonal dresses, jackets, activewear, and denim jeans.
- Beauty: skincare solutions, makeup, and personal care items.
- Accessories: handbags, everyday jewelry, footwear, and styling pieces.
- Home: decor items, organizational tools, and household supplies.
If your prior entries were not chosen, the issue typically stems from profile setup rather than lack of availability.
