Looking to understand how the Free Trial Center functions before placing your weekly requests? The overall journey includes several key steps, starting from discovering available products to evaluation, delivery, and submitting your final review. Product offerings refresh between campaign cycles, and submitting a request does not guarantee you will be selected. Every entry undergoes a selection process before moving forward. This guide takes you through the entire experience, showing you where to find trial offers, how to track your status, and what steps to take once an approved item arrives.

SEE HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

1

Navigate to the Free Trial Center

First, sign in to your account and go to the area displaying active trial campaigns. On mobile devices, the path is Profile → More Services → Other Services → Free Trial Center. From there, you can browse all products open for application.

2

Select your weekly trial choices

You can apply for up to 3 items during each weekly period. Unused applications do not carry over to the following week. Always double-check your selected size or variant and confirm that your shipping address matches the destination store region.

Choosing an item and confirming delivery information

Verify item specifics, sizes, and delivery address before submitting

3

Monitor your application updates

After submitting your request, open “My Free Trial” or your application history to view status updates. Decisions usually take about a week. An “Approved” status means you were selected, while “Failed” or “Rejected” indicates your entry was not chosen this time.

4

Test the product before writing feedback

Once approved, wait for your package to arrive before creating your report. Test the item thoroughly and evaluate key aspects like fit, fabric, comfort, design, and durability. Then submit an authentic review with clear photos within the designated deadline.

5

Review your report evaluation score

Once your review is sent, visit My Report to inspect its status. Standard approved reports grant 20 points. Submissions awarded a “Quality Report” designation can receive an extra 100 points. Earning points does not guarantee selection in future trial applications.

6

Modify a report when editing is allowed

If your report is labeled Rejected, check if the Rewrite option is enabled. When available, this feature lets you improve details, add missing descriptions, and replace low-quality photos before resubmitting for review.

What happens once an application is submitted?

The process starts by exploring available items in the Free Trial Center. Since active campaigns change regularly, visiting the section often helps you discover new products as fresh rounds launch. When you select an item, your entry enters the review stage. Shipping is not yet confirmed at this point, as each application must first be selected. If chosen, your order advances to fulfillment and delivery. Once your item arrives, take time to use it and evaluate its features before forming your final opinion. The final step involves submitting your product report within the given timeframe. A detailed review with original images provides clear, practical insights into your experience.  

What types of products are available?

Selection varies between campaign periods, but available products frequently fall into these main categories:
  • Apparel & Fashion: dresses, tops, pants, T-shirts, jackets, athletic wear, and everyday clothes.
  • Beauty & Personal Care: cosmetics, skincare products, and daily grooming essentials.
  • Footwear & Accessories: shoes, bags, jewelry, and fashion accessories.
  • Home Essentials: storage items, home decor, useful gadgets, and living space products.

A rejected application applies only to that specific round and has no impact on future requests.

Before submitting your next weekly choices, double-check your profile, shipping location, and item details.

VIEW THE FULL PROCESS


How to make your product report more helpful?

A strong review describes what you noticed during actual product usage. Instead of writing a brief summary, offer practical insights that describe the item accurately:

• Mention positive aspects alongside any features that did not meet your expectations.
• Provide details on sizing, fit, comfort, material quality, design, and durability.
• Upload clear, well-lit photos showing the item from multiple perspectives.
• Add practical insights that answer questions other shoppers might have.

Report incentives: approved reports typically grant 20 points, while reviews marked as a “Quality Report” can earn an extra 100 points.

Common mistakes to watch out for

Performing a quick review before applying helps prevent minor errors throughout the process:

❌ Applying with outdated or incomplete profile information.

❌ Entering a delivery address located outside the active store region.

❌ Submitting requests without verifying product sizes or options.

❌ Writing generic reviews that lack actual product testing insights.

❌ Uploading dark, blurry, or low-quality photos.

❌ Missing the required submission deadline after receiving your item.

❌ Ignoring the Rewrite option when a rejected report can be resubmitted.

❌ Providing inaccurate information or misusing multiple accounts in violation of rules.
