What a painful checkout, first it announces countries do no match (they did) then the submit button disappears, finally submitted but amount to be charged did not match amount in basket (it still included VAT).
After a few minutes and several page refreshes, I think I got the order through.
phew!
Thanks for the post, I never ordered the sampler because the shipping was too much but now it I see is free.
That sample pack is worth it, you will get heaps of goodies!
I can't read the skin food other than Coral.
It says something like Extract of ????
Is it Limes ?
That is a great deal, thanks.
I ordered one, free shipping too.

Limes - that's what I see.
Of course, I won't be surprised for an instant if they are all different than the pictures :blink: as the written description does not commit to particular fragrances.
Haven't seen a price in US $, either on the order, or the confirmation e-mail. It'll be interesting to see how much 4.25 GBP will be charged on my credit card. (Yeah, I don't get out much)
Thanks for the heads up!

I looked it up right after I ordered mine. Should be $6.64 as stated in the OP.

I got one of these last week. It was around $7.50 using PayPal. I requested the Limes Skin Food and no Limes shaving cream, since I already had some Limes shaving cream. They sent Limes shaving cream and no Limes skin Food. :thumbdown Oh well... So far Trumpers is still my favorite Cream (although I haven't tried that many yet).
It looks like we crashed the site :001_smile

FYI the initial list price is 5 GBP, but when you proceed to checkout they take off the VAT and the price goes down to 4.25.
Also noticed the bath and shower cream is in the picture but isn't included on the list of enclosed items. We'll see if it is included or not.
If you know you want more of their products, there is a 50 GBP gift certificate that you can buy that includes the same sample set for free!

I ordered this several months ago and got everything except the bath and shower cream. The two skin foods I got was Coral, and Extract of Limes. The Limes skin food is very soothing.
Plus, get on their mailing list because they have periodic special deals.

Yep, I saw that. I meant it more as curiosity about how exchange rates might change it from day to day. It posted to my Visa credit card today as $6.67. I guess the dollar is up against the pound today, or is it the other way around? :blink:
There was also a separate "VISA INTERNATIONAL SERVICE ASSESSMENT" of $0.07. :thumbdown
No matter, I appreciate the chance to try the sampler :thumbup:

I would think that the price will fluctuate with the exchange rate.

Interesting. I was hoping to get a sample of the Limes as well. Looks like its a crap shoot. But, it is all good, and the price is right.
My order took a loooong time to process through to paypal.
I received my sample pack yesterday, which included the following:
Shaving cream:
Limes, Almond, Sandalwood, and GFT.
The GFT smells great. Limes is good. Sandalwood is neutral and I greatly dislike the Almond.
Cologne:
Curzon, Skye, Eucris, Wild Fern, Limes, and Quinine. I like the Quinine and Limes the best.
Skin Food:
Sandalwood and Coral.

I just placed my order today. By the way I got some free samples of the Trumpers shave cream at Excalibur gifts in the shopping mall. They also carry Col Conk and Merkurs.
So, for the gents who have received their sample packs already, are you using a whole shaving cream sample per shave? They are pretty tiny.

I think the sample is the same size than when I got mine last year. I was able to do 2 shaves with those, 3 was stretching it...

I would love to sample your entire line of Colognes and Eau de Toilettes before I make my decision about which of them to purchase. If this is possible, please send instructions on how I may purchase those samples. Thank you very much.

Just a heads up in the additional information of the order box I wrote a nice paragraphing asking if it was okay to include additional samples to cover the full range of creams and skin foods, they were most happy to oblige (this was over a year ago though).
Trumpers really are good at looking after you, and you won't be disappointed with the creams and skinfoods I swear by them.

Sandalwood and Coral Skin Food
Rose, Violet, Sandalwood, Almond Shave Cream
Lavender Water (2), Eau de Quinine, Spanish Leather, Skye, Marlborough EDT
I emailed them back and asked if there was any way that they could send an additional EDT sample of Eucris and they responded with a yes. Hopefully they will throw in some extra goodies in addition to that.
I do have a question on the Skin Food. Their website calls it a pre or post shave. What do you guys use it for, strictly post?

I went in to order the sample pack and their payment system was slow... and unstable. Finally got it to work using the paypal option. Now the wait. What a good deal. I also noted the creams that I was interested in, lets see if they indeed send those.

I don't mean to gloat in front of anyone who's been unable to order a sample from Geo Trumper, but I have to say I'm impressed with their customer service.
I indicated that I was more interested in the shave cream than the cologne, and my sampler included 8 shaving cream samples and 4 skin food samples! And what's better is that it only took a week to ship to Chicago. What a classy establishment!

I sent a nice email thanking them for the initial samples and asked if they would send an additional cologne sample of Eucris. Today I checked the mailbox and found 2 samples of Eucris cologne and 2 of Spanish Leather. Great customer service I'd say.
That brings my total haul to:
Skin Food - Coral & Sandalwood
Shaving Cream - Rose, Violet, Sandalwood, Almond
Cologne - Eucris (2), Lavender Water (2), Spanish Leather (3), Maroborough, Skye, Eau de Quinine
Not bad for $5

I think they are having website issues. I couldn't even get to it the first time I tried to order. Then they told me the site was down after I ordered and that's why it was taking longer.
I got fairly quick responses from them when I asked about my order and then asked them to send me another cologne sample.

I placed my order on 9/21, it is postmarked the same day and I just got it. Mine contains the following:
Packaged in a 6"x9 1/2" cloth drawstring bag
Skin Food - Sandalwood and Coral
Creams - Limes, Rose, Violet, GFT
Colognes - GFT, Bay Rum, Limes, Spanish Leather, Sandalwood, and Wellington.
I'm not too hip on the Rose and Violet creams (unused), so if someone wants to swap for something that I didn't list above, shoot me a pm.:thumbup1:

So my sample pack finally showed up this morning (9 days from England to Ireland - not an impressive delivery time I must say)
Skin Food - Sandalwood and Extract of Limes
Creams - Limes, Rose, Violet, Coconut Oil
Colognes - GFT, Bay Rum, Extract of Limes, Spanish Leather, Sandalwood, and Wellington.
I'm really not a fan of coconut so the coconut oil cream will propably be used last (or not at all). The Bay Rum just smells entirely of clove to me and I don't like cloves so that will be unused.
The rest I like - especially the Extract of Limes.

I must have really bad luck with these samplers. I ordered two sample sets a few months ago and requested to get as many different products in the two sets as possible. The two kits that arrived were identical except for 2 of the colognes. The two things I wanted to try the most were the Lime Skin Food and the Wellington cologne, neither of which I received. So, last week I emailed explaining what had happened and asking if I could request a few specific samples. They responded saying they would send me everything I had requested free of charge, except that they were out of the Lime skin food. Arrived today, and everything I had requested was there. However, when I went to open the Wellington, I noticed the vial was cracked and all cologne must have evaporated in storage (the inside of the package was still dry). All said, I now have 2 1/2 sample kits and still haven't been able to try the two items I was most looking forward to. Oh well.

Just a quick comment - I've been more than pleased with the shaving cream samples. I'm getting my best shaves ever - very close with few nicks. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but sure seems like their cream is higher quality than other brands I've used. I don't care for the sandalwood scent but the coconut and rose are tolerable. If I order a regular cream, will be a different scent.

I use that plastic dipper to apply it so I don't dump it all out. Just dip it in there and dab it where you want to apply. You don't get a lot on at a time this way, but at least you don't waste it all in one shot.

It's been a few weeks since I got my sample pack, and I'm still just scratching the surface. I have a feeling it'll last well into the winter. Trumper's is definitely being very reasonable with the pricing, probably because they're likely to lead to further sales. As someone who's only used modern colognes, to me the scents smell so clean and refined.
