Aveda: 6 trial size items for $3 shipped (edit: Deal dead?)

by crystal on December 9, 2009

Avedalogo1

Edit: From the reports I'm hearing, it appears this deal is now dead.

Today only (December 9, 2009), Aveda is offering free Shipping, a free Body Care Trio and 2 free samples with any purchase. Here's how to get six travel-sized items for $4 shipped:

::Add the Refillable Lip Color Case for $3 to your cart.

::Go to checkout and add code BODYGIFT129. When you do this, the Body Care Trio Set (which includes a Calming Body Cleanser, Hand Relief, and Foot Relief) should be automatically added to your cart. Plus, during the checkout process, you'll be asked if you'd like to add two additional trial size items.

::So all in all, you should get 6 trial size items for around $3 shipped. These would be great to use for small Christmas gifts!

Thanks, Mojo Savings and Common Sense with Money!

Hrm. The site is telling me that’s not a valid code?

Jacinda December 9, 2009 at 12:37 pm

BODYGIFT129

This is the correct code…the other one doesn’t work…

amanda December 9, 2009 at 12:46 pm

It just told me the code was not valid, but had already given me free shipping, just not the extra 2 pack.

Danielle December 9, 2009 at 12:47 pm

I am getting a message that the code is not valid. IS anyone else finding success with it?

Michelle December 9, 2009 at 12:48 pm

just a note that the code is bodycare129

Sue Bahar December 9, 2009 at 12:49 pm

I tried this offer but it refused the BODYGIFT29 promotion code. Instead it offered 2 free samples. Did anyone else have luck using this?

theresa December 9, 2009 at 12:50 pm

I’m trying to do it now and it’s not asking me to add two more things??

Lisa December 9, 2009 at 12:51 pm

I just tried this, and it offered me two samples but not the sample pack you referred to. Bummer! :)

Elizabeth December 9, 2009 at 12:51 pm

It says it’s not a valid code. :(

Sheri December 9, 2009 at 1:05 pm

I got the shampure shampoo for $3.50 and got all the free gifts!!!!!!!!!

Christie December 9, 2009 at 1:09 pm

Thanks!! I got mine…total was $4.37 with tax!

Laura December 9, 2009 at 1:16 pm

Note: You can use this code repeatedly. I’ve sent one to each of my girlfriends…

Natalie December 9, 2009 at 1:17 pm

These are a cheap addition to gift baskets!

Melinda December 9, 2009 at 1:21 pm

It worked- great! Thanks!

Bev December 9, 2009 at 1:24 pm

It worked! For a limited time 2 trial sizes are full size products for free. I got 6 items for $4.20. Great stocking stuffers.

Cynthia December 9, 2009 at 1:26 pm

This just worked for me…thank you so much for the great tip. Perfect for those last little gifties I needed!

Liz December 9, 2009 at 1:29 pm

With the right code, it worked! Thanks!!

chels December 9, 2009 at 1:34 pm

Mine said i would get the 3 things mentioned above but did not offer me 2 additional samples, maybe it depends on where you live?

chels December 9, 2009 at 1:37 pm

OK, du, it did offer the other 2 trial sizes after i entered all my info. yay – thx!

Lacey December 9, 2009 at 1:41 pm

I just ordered my make-up. I figured if I was going to spend $4 for a small item, I might as well actually buy something I use on a regular basis. I was able to get the trio. Then, later in the process (before giving credit card), it offered me 2 more samples. How exciting! I love that I bought something I need anyways, got free shipping (not spending time/gas to go get it), and I got 5 freebies. Yeah! Merry Christmas to me!!!!! : )

Reesa December 9, 2009 at 1:48 pm

It worked for me. I like the idea of the refillable lipstick container. I got that for $3 and the other 5 items free. It took me a bit to figure out I had to go ahead and continue and resister/sign in before it would let me add the 2 extra trial sizes.

Thanks!

kim December 9, 2009 at 1:52 pm

It offers the two extra samples after you begin the checkout process.

Julie M December 9, 2009 at 2:04 pm

I think Aveda caught on to us! I was in the middle of choosing the small size body cleanser for $4, clicked off the page and when I went back it was gone. So are all the other small $3-4 size products (except the lip case). Guess I should have gone a little quicker!

Michelle December 9, 2009 at 2:08 pm

I tried it with a $4 item and it didn’t work. I was going to retry after reading this using a different code and now I can’t find any inexpensive items.

jenny December 9, 2009 at 2:10 pm

Only gave me 2 trial size items, not 4.

This is what is says on their site:
Enjoy FREE SHIPPING with ALL Orders. Plus, FREE Travel-size Rosemary Mint Hand and Body Wash with all orders over $80.

And the $4 rosemary mint body wash isn’t listed as any option to buy anymore.

Tara December 9, 2009 at 2:11 pm

Worked for me but the code only gave me 2 additional items, not 3…

Jennifer December 9, 2009 at 2:13 pm

I clicked on your link and I can’t find the travel size, only the large size which is 16.00. I also added the code and only got 2 samples not what was listed

Amy December 9, 2009 at 2:13 pm

For some reason I cannot find the trial sizes anywhere on this site. Help!!!

Jen R December 9, 2009 at 2:14 pm

I only got 4 free samples… but that’s still a good deal. The “trio” was just two – no hand relief.

Karie McIntosh December 9, 2009 at 2:33 pm

It looks like they’ve taken the travel-sized items off their site and are only giving foot lotion as the freebie now.

li December 9, 2009 at 2:41 pm

I can’t find any of the smaller sizes, either. :(

Sarah December 9, 2009 at 2:48 pm

I am having the same issue!! Where are the trial/travel sizes??

amity t December 9, 2009 at 2:55 pm

Like others have reported I tried finding the $4 items but couldnt find any…I decided to order some shampoo anyway. when I put the code in I got the foot lotion and also 2 free samples. And the free shipping..gotta love it.

Stacy December 9, 2009 at 3:03 pm

I bought a pencil sharpener for $5 and got the trio and free shipping but not 2 extra samples

Lisa H December 9, 2009 at 3:10 pm

I ordered the $3 lip case and it took the promo code, and added the trio. Then, after I added in my address and it got to the payment page, it came up at the top saying the promo code wasn’t valid. So I guess they’ve changed the deal?

TARA December 9, 2009 at 3:37 pm

This didn’t work for me.

Jamie December 9, 2009 at 3:49 pm

It is not allowing me to use any of the codes…. help!

Jean December 9, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Hmm, neither code worked for me (3:55 PM central time). Anyone else having problems? Bummer!!

Jennifer December 9, 2009 at 4:01 pm

:( They said that “due to overwhelming response,” this code is no longer valid.

Nicole December 9, 2009 at 4:01 pm

I guess I had to be quicker! Here is the message I got when I typed in bodycare129

We’re sorry, due to overwhelming response the offer BestGift129 is no longer available.

nicole

Jamie December 9, 2009 at 4:07 pm

I think they have changed the offer. Now it says on purchases of $80, and I cannot find any trial sizes that are left! I will have to be faster next time!

Thanks for posting though!

Raven Tran December 9, 2009 at 4:33 pm

due to overwhelming responce this offer is no longer valid, anyone else get this?

Missy December 9, 2009 at 4:34 pm

“We’re sorry, due to overwhelming response the offer BestGift129 is no longer available.”

“Sorry, the offer code bodygift129 is not valid.”

Looks like the deal is dead. =(

Brande December 10, 2009 at 10:00 am

Ordered this yesterday and paid 4.27 for it, but this morning I got a backorder message. When I called to switch the item that I was PAYING for, for another item that I was going to PAY for they told me that they couldn’t switch. All I could do was cancel the order. I love Aveda products but that was POOR customer service…..

Lorrie December 10, 2009 at 2:36 pm

I got an email today that they have back ordered my item. I am no sure if this means I will only eventually get the 1 item or all 6. I am pretty sure I will not get it in time for Christmas. Some how I had a feeling this would happen.

Jacinda December 11, 2009 at 6:37 pm

The email I got today:
(I also got an email a couple days ago saying the Rosemary Mint was back ordered)
