By joining Redpawpaw you will receive over $30 worth of new and varied grocery products delivered to your door every month for just $5 per month or $50 per year.
There are no contracts and shipping is free!

Redpawpaw caters to people who love trying new household products and rediscovering some forgotten ones.

Simply by creating a profile when you sign up, Redpawpaw will send the products most suited to your household right to your door each month, in a big reusable box.

Redpawpaw partners with some of Australia's favourite brands including SPC, Mentos, Kellogg’s, Finish, Nivea and Green’s, to offer consumers the newest and most popular products to sample.

Unlike other sampling communities where getting a samples can be hit or miss, Redpawpaw sends all their subscribers over $30 worth of products every month for just $5 per month; which is about the same price as a takeaway coffee.

You will need to fill in the quick and easy product feedback survey after you have tried your products but if that sounds like too much hassle, you can choose the 'Trial Only' package instead which is only $10 per month or $100 per year.

Some of the products you will receive in the very first box which will be delivered in early to mid May will be

  • full size new premium jam
  • full size Mentos very berry roll
  • full size Mentos sugar-free gum

    Sucked me in rep. We'll see how it goes. Will have to get my goods delivered to work though. (As you don't deliver to my suburb).
    BTW: How big is the box / delivery roughly? Thanks!

      Thanks for giving us a try. The box is (L) 385mm x (W) 335mm x (H) 215mm.
      There will be a plain brown recycled cardboard outer box and then a printed recycled inner box that you can even use to store things if you prefer not to throw it away.

        For people wanting to receive deliveries when not home you could try this doo dah - $329. Basically a drop box at your house for couriers. It's scannable and trackable. Pretty expensive, but a nifty idea.

        http://www.bunnings.com.au/pakman-sand-parcel-delivery-box-_…

        I have effectively got the same system without the tracking by screwing a mid sized galvanised toolbox to the wall on my verandah (the type that has a catch built in - no padlock). Courier puts parcel in, then turns the catch which locks it. You just need to sign an 'authority to leave' form with any courier firm that might serve you so they have permsiion to do it. It's a one delivery option though.

    Just signed up - thank you for a novel offer - I wish you every success in your new venture.

    I've been a member here for a short while but been using Ozbargain for several years as it a great source of new opportunities and ideas (and mostly at a bargain price). Your business model is exactly that for me - an opportunity to try new things I never knew existed for a relatively tiny fee.

    One of the things that has dissuaded me from posting bargains on here is the negativity a lot these deals bring. Unless it's "everything for nothing", some people always seem to take issue, nitpicking at the most inane details. While I am all for accuracy, the comments earlier arguing over the cost of each item are unhelpful. The people you are aiming this service at are the people who would know looking at your list of items what the value of those is to them. I personally couldn't give a hoot if the jam was worth $4 or $4.99. I know that overall I'm getting a good deal as I will otherwise have bought at least $5 worth of the stuff in your box.

    Don't be put off by the negativity in these comments. I don't think some of the members on this site realise what they are missing out on (in terms of people choosing not to post a deal because of the risk they will be abused because their deal doesn't suit some people).

    Not every deal will appeal to everyone. If this doesn't appeal to you and you cannot see value in it for yourself, let it go, move on and find something that does appeal and holds value in your eyes.

    Having started two businesses myself in the past I know how very difficult it can be. Hang in there, you have a great idea and judging by the professional approach you are taking (great website, great presentation, active in this comment thread), you have every chance of success - the only unknown at this stage is the execution. Get that right and I'll be a customer for a long time.

    I just had to get that off my chest - I really feel for some of these bargain posters. I, for one, am grateful for the time they take to post these!

      Thanks for your lovely message macfudge and thanks for you kind words of encouragement.
      I am quite new to this deal site but have found all the feedback really interesting and most of it very helpful. Not everyone is ever going to like the same things in this world which is great because it makes life more interesting that way :)
      Good on you for starting two businesses. It is tough but it is also very rewarding. Being able to communicate directly with our customers and hearing their ideas and suggestions is a great opportunity for us to improve our service so I'm willing to cop a few knocks in the process! - it is worth it.
      Thanks for giving us a go. We have a great partner who will be helping us to ensure the execution does not let our customers down so I look forward to staying on as a customer for a very long time :)

      If you're referring to me, I wasn't being negative. Negs are nothing, but if the twit that negged above would have realised that had they read the post, assuming they're literate. ;-p

      The point I was making is, nearly none of the items suited me either, yet I was still interested… and if someone wasn't interested, then the answer is simple - don't join. As I said, $5 wouldn't cover postage on the empty box.

    • Store RepRedpawpaw @ Redpawpaw on 03/04/2014 - 22:02

      Hi hahaboy, I actually don't even know myself yet as we work with top grocery brands who often keep their product launches secret until quite close to the time that they hit the supermarket shelves. The focus of our monthly subscription box is packaged food and general household products that you can buy in your local supermarket so the range will be varied and different every month so there is something for the whole family. Plus, the surprise of finding out what is in the box only when you open it is part of the fun!

        You're certainly brave, placing yourself at the mercy of manufacturers to provide you with new products. What happens if they don't give you any new items that month… do you stockpile items (only send out a percentage), in case there's no items to send out the next month?

      Hi there,
      Try just typing you street number and the start of your address name and wait a few seconds for the address validation to give you options of addresses that you can choose from. Just select your address from the drop down menu of options and it will auto populate the address for you so you don't need to enter in the suburb name, that will be done automatically.
      Hope that helps.

        • Store RepRedpawpaw @ Redpawpaw on 04/04/2014 - 15:20

          I think it he issue happens when the address options don't load quick enough so instead of having the Aust Post addresses show up as you type something like 63 Hall….and it automatically suggests 63 Hall St Bondi Beach, the person writes 63 Hall street and then the address validation doesn't work.
          I will speak to the company who owns the data validation software and see what can be done to avoid this problem for our customers.
          Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    I really like the concept, but I am not going to sign up in the end, because after careful consideration of your privacy policy it looks like it's going to end up being a spam magnet - 3rd parties will use you to harvest e-mail addresses and spam your client base. I hope that the brands don't damage your product by abusing that.

    All the best to you and good luck in your venture. If you ever decide to close off that option (assuming it isn't a core revenue stream) then I'd love to know.

      Keep your primary email address for use by your most trusted contacts. Create an extra email address for use by others, such as Redpawpaw. If it gets flooded with spam, just close it and create another.

        All good in theory, and I actually do have something like this set up - I have a "general use" e-mail address that I use to sign up for online services where I can simply unsubscribe, BUT I will never subscribe to a site that on-sells my details, because there is effectively no way of stopping your address from circulating, and you'll keep receiving e-mails from more and more places.

        Otherwise, for the strategy to work, it would require you to have a separate e-mail address for every service that you sign up for and that's just not feasible (for example I already have 300+ entries in LastPass, and that's just for the sites I want to have accounts with).

        Don't get me wrong - it's not spam from you that I'm worried about. It's who you give my details to that concerns me. If it ever ends up in the hands of a remarketer, list service, or unscrupulous brand (e.g. a Unilever, who will take your address from one of their brands, and use it across all of their other brands).

        • mikeInside on 04/04/2014 - 19:31

    Just a thought, and I realise your biz model is getting the manufacturers to supply new products for free, and in return they get feedback, with redpawpaw basically joining the user to the seller.. great model and good luck, but just a thought, I used to be in the buying team for Woolworths, and i know how manufacturers think, in order to boost subscription rates, I am wondering if you are able to get the manufacturers to also include other products they might have just to fill out the box, I am talking about products that they might have an oversupply / glut of, and as they are already delivering (or you are picking up) their new samples, there is no extra delivery costs.. or maybe if not a glut, they also sometimes have themed products (i.e. 'olympic' themed packaging that can't really be sold in major retailers, still viable product, but need somewhere to 'dump' the product.. I personally know suppliers that have landfilled perfectly good products because the hassle of finding someone to 'offload' the goods to is simply too much effort..
    Anyway, just a thought… it would mean you could have 'box fillers' and also keep your customers happy..

      Hi Krispy,
      Thank you so much for you great suggestion, it was very kind of you to take the time to send it to me.
      While we do focus on newly launched products, there is certainly an opportunity for manufacturers / brand owners to sample existing products to our subscribers because sometimes it can be beneficial to remind people of the great products that are out there that they might not have tried to ages. And definitely if there is excess stock it would be better to sample to subscribers than for it to end up as landfill. I used to work for a chocolate company and they often were forced to send pallets of chocolate to landfill because they weren't able to sell it. Can you believe it? Chocolate in landfill?! Would love for some of that product to end up in our subscribers' monthly boxes before it gets to that point.
      Thanks again for your message, sounds like you have lots of experience in the grocery industry :)

    Hi Rep:
    I noticed when signing up that the credit card number field is coded as a password. This can be problematic for people on computers as it will give them the option to "store their password" which than anyone can access if they click accept. For instance, I'm on a work computer so if I hit accept, someone later could jump on the computer and dig up my credit card number.

    Might want to send a heads up over to your tech team and ask them to edit it.

So we have ages right through the range from toddler to high school leaver. So we're buying products right across all age ranges. It makes you think if you're over 30 (and don't lie about your age), all you'll receive is samples for contact lens cleaner, adult incontinence nappies, and that dreaded vaginal moisturiser that was listed on here a few months ago. ;-p

  • espcookie on 05/04/2014 - 17:11

    I'm willing to give Redpawpaw a go, so have signed up for a year, as I like samples! Sometimes you get a few things you might not have tried, or things you use anyway, but half the fun will be with the kids checking out what is in the box and that is $5 a month value anyway compared to some of the rubbish things the kids get me to buy! If things go bad, perhaps I am down some part of my $50, and such is life, but I have probably saved that in other Ozbargain deals anyway. Good luck Rep - I hope the suppliers give you some love and you get us a few boxes of interesting goodies!

    Will there be a difference between a Male Basket and a Female Basket, sent on the 15th April 2014?

    • Store RepRedpawpaw @ Redpawpaw on 25/04/2014 - 19:19

      Hi ianyelts,
      The first Redpawpaw box goes out in May.
      Both the male and the female boxes get the food and household items, it is only if there is a specific male or female product such as Rexona for Men that the boxes will differ.
      For the first box the male and the female versions will be quite similar but that won't always be the case.

    is there an April box? or does it start in May, bit confused, and as I have signed up for the $50 offer for the year, wonder if there is a friend referral link of any kind, to offer me a bonus of some sort if I post it on my facebook page? thanks

      No, there are no referrals.

      And

      The first box will apparently be sent on 15th JUNE 2014, last I heard.

      She will only send the boxes then.

      Assuming she hasn't run off with our money?!
      (It's happened with other businesses before)

        At that date, you wont be able to make a chargeback on you CC (60 days from purchace) or paypal claim (45 days from purchace)

        Hi again ianyelts,

        The first Redpawpaw box will be sent out by mid May, then again by the middle of every month after that. We sent an update email with a timeline of delivery to all subscribers yesterday.

        I definitely haven't run off with everyone's money! Sorry I am a novice to OzBargain and didn't realise that there were new posts to be answered.

        Hope you are having a great long weekend.

      Hi bsk,
      The first Redpawpaw box will be sent out by mid May but depending on where you live you may receive it as early as 10th May.
      We don't yet have a referral system but please send me an email to [email protected] and I would be happy to work something out with you.

  • bsk on 17/04/2014 - 17:08

    I just contacted them and they are saying May for the first box? Now I am wondering about your comment of run off with your money? it is a worry

    • NosDan on 17/04/2014 - 17:15

      i was sus as soon as i saw the "fake" feedback. no way i would have paid up front for something that may or may not be delivered in months time from a new company no one knows. there is just no legit reason to ask for payment for something thats at least a month away. plus no paypal safety…

      • [Deactivated] on 19/04/2014 - 13:53

        Well there is at least one legit reason I can think of. To make sure all parcels are packed, sealed, and labelled ready to dispatch on the same day, in order to qualify for the bulk postage discount that is probably part of the business model.

    • Store RepRedpawpaw @ Redpawpaw on 25/04/2014 - 19:30

      Sorry for worrying you bsk but I am not running off with anyone's money. The products are being sent into our warehouse by our brand owners next week and we will be picking and packing everyone's boxes starting the first week in May.
      Everyone will receive their boxes by mid May.

  • roughana on 17/04/2014 - 18:08

    You should re-read the whole thread again. You've obviously missed important information.
    -First delivery in May
    -Feedback was from beta-testers

    • NosDan on 17/04/2014 - 18:47

      -Feedback was apparently from beta-testers, but there is no evidence of this

      unless you have some proof otherwise?

      which still dosnt add up to me. if its only from beta testers and the boxes change what weight does that hold for the "real" sample boxes? pretty much zero. also they can get one box organised months ago apparently but it takes months more to get the next one? yet they are meant to be able to keep up later on with there one box a month?

      im not saying OP is dodgy, just simply there are way to many things that dont sound right to me which was why i never considered going for it.

        • NosDan on 17/04/2014 - 21:23

          lets hypothesise that the rep is in fact dodgy, and the only "evidence" you have is the rep saying "nah its ok, im heaps legit"…. does that then make them actually legit? lol

        • roughana on 17/04/2014 - 21:56

          So what's so different between this and putting in an order for any merchandise that needs delivery from any new company? At some point you have to trust the merchant.
          If you don't get what you paid for, then (and only then) can you complain about it and let others know.
          Stop trashing it without any basis for doing so.

      • zzyss on 18/04/2014 - 08:24

        I'd say that the benefit of the doubt is with the rep here, since "a select group of consumers" could easily just be a few mates, which doesn't lend any credibility to the product, but is far from being "made up" or even "lies". In fact, I'd even go so far as to say it's standard marketing operating procedure for small businesses and startups.

        • Store RepRedpawpaw @ Redpawpaw on 25/04/2014 - 19:34

          Hi zzyss,

          Thanks for your comments. You are spot on. The test run was just to get some feedback and test our processes.

          I am certainly looking forward to our subscribers receiving their first box in May. We are just a startup business and so I understand everyone's nervousness but I'm sure that our subscribers will feel much better once they have their first box in their hands so they can try the products and look forward to receiving the next one :)

    Anyone actually heard from these people ? I signed up and heard nothing as yet about any launch date,the site comes up as "untrusted" and no reply to any emails.Is it me being a little suss after one too many "Today Tonight" episodes..or does this thing smell like a scam ?

      they came on after the last lot of posts (by me and others) but never posted themselves. they have never posted outside of this thread.

      i would have thought after the last lot of posts just above they would have poped on to at least say everything was still ok and reassuring people there is nothing to worry about?

        Hi there nosdan,

        You are right and I apologise, I am a novice to OzBargain and didn't realise that these posts continue for so long.

        I will make sure I pop back every couple of days from now on as I feel bad for not replying to the message over the Easter break and this week.

        There definitely isn't anything to worry about and we are on track to deliver the first box to all our subscribers by Mid May.
