Ah so time to sit back and wait on my first freebies. I just finished completing all current trades and offers and can now relax!

As I've said before I am writing about my experiences in dealing with these freebie websites and the freebie community.

All within two weeks I just submitted for approval on 3 different freebie sites. Freepay giftcards, Trainn Ipods and Free4me gear site (nano ipod).

The race begins! All approved around the same time (I requested freepay and trainn approval a week before free4me, but free4me approved in one day).

Who wants to place bets! Which will arrive first? all 3 are in STV, Shipping etc stages.

I'm putting my bet on Trainn. I'll keep this thread updated to see who is the quickest!

Trainn YFVi was slower for me than others....I got it from UPS a day before the estimated ship date.

well, assuming Freepay is STV, i would place my bets on them. even those their site has gone to crap, they use DHL and are uber fast (at least for me).

Hmm....let's see. I changed to "Shipped" on a Monday and got my iPod that Friday. So a whole business week. I guess it's not too bad when I think about it, but seems like forever when you're waiting wink

I would say the freepay, like a previous user said, they are total shit now, but that's okay, at least the shipping is fast! )

I think TRAINN just pulled into the lead!

I just got my tracking number and I should have it by Wednesday!

weeeeeeeee!!!!

Giftcards still STV, so I think TRAINN beat freepay out.

Free4Me still listed as "shipping soon"

Uh oh! Free4Me has changed to STV as well! In the same day as freepay!

This is a close one folks.

Freepay has moved to shipped! The race is getting intense!

Freepay Shipped
Free4me Sent to Vendor
TRAINN Shipped (1 day before Freepay)

I'm betting on Trainn but they sent from Kentucky. If Freepay is shipped today they might tie.

All approved around the same 24 hour period btw... All 3 insanely fast since approval.

i think you might get your freepay freebie first since it's a giftcard they'll email you the code.... which doesn't take long to ship )

Yea you were right...Freepay won with the e-mailed certificate.

I don't know if we can count that ;-)

My ipod is on the UPS truck right now i'm awaiting it any minute
