Korres new online store has a great promotion running! With ANY order they are offering FREE shipping and a gift ($30 value)! The gift includes a deluxe sampler of 3 of their best selling products: Guava Body Butter, Wild rose Moisturizer and Evening Primrose Eye Cream + a reusable Korres Cosmetic bag! In addition to those samples, you'll get 3 regular samples with every order too!
To make this deal even sweeter-- use code PREVIEW to get an additional 20% off your purchase! Sweeeet!
I ended up purchasing their Spearmint Orange gum priced at $2.50! With the 20% off code my total came to just $2! Yay! Please note that after choosing your "regular" samples, your deluxe sampler and cosmetic bag will NOT show up in your cart. However, don't worry... you will still receive them!

Fantastic deal for some beautiful little gifts / stocking stuffers. Thanks hip2save!
I ordered the orange spearmint gum as well. What a great deal for $2.
I love trying new products.
Thanks so much!!!
I also ordered the gum, can't wait to get this and see what I will keep for myself and what I will use as stocking stuffers.
Thanks for the post and all you do.
I tried to get this deal and the website said I had an invalid zip code!
me too
it kept doing that to me too. hmmm..
tried to call cs #, just got voicemail. live in illinois
I am trying to place an order, but it keeps telling me I have an invalid zip code. I tried our address, my parents, and my in-laws and it says they are all wrong. I'm not sure why its not working. :( Seemed like a fun deal. Maybe next time!

darn it, really thought this was a great deal, will try later, maybe CS is not in yet....hope the deal doesn't go dead!
I am getting the same thing invalid zip code, I live in Illinois.
they must not like us illinoisin'
I'm getting the invalid zip code message for Florida...hmmm....
Same thing here in North Dakota!
Same thing with the invalid zipcode in Vermont. I tried my parent's house in New Hampshire and it still won't work.
Would not take my zip here in Texas.
Same thing in Utah...invalid zip code.
thank you for this awesome deal, however it said I have an invalid zip code.... I contacted Customer service so HOPEFULLY I'll still be able to get in on this deal :D
Invalid zip in MN too!
Tried a NY, CO and PA zipcode all with the no luck, I noticed it's only on the shipping address? Could this be another IE problem, or I am curious what customer service had to say. Wow, two good skincare deals, thanks Hip2Save!
Yup -- me too: invalid zip code in Texas. When I called customer service, I got the voicemail of someone named Karen Kittrell? That poor lady is probably going to get a lot of calls today!
I live in PA and my order went through but I haven't received an order confirmation yet. Luckily I wrote down all my information.
Well the web site wont let me go furthur after claiming I have an invalid zip code. I guess they don't want us to order gum!
The stores are located in NYC, but it seems like only certain locations in PA, have had success in ordering.
When I try to use the code 'PREVIEW' I get this message:
'Sorry, the code you entered is not valid or has expired.'
Rats. :(
I live in Kansas and it wouldn't take my zip either, darn it anyway!
Didn't work for Milwaukie, Oregon so I tried to send it to my sister in New Jersey - no go there either.
Didn't work for NJ. Invalid zipcode :(
They need to fix their site. My hubbie is a computer programmer and said something somewhere is broken. Doesn't work on IE OR Firefox...zip code problem all of you mentioned. SIGH.
Me either. :( darn!
Didnt take my zip here in So Cal either :(
no go on the zip code in Missouri either..
Invalid zip in NC too! ;(
I'm about to try CS...I live in VA and it says "invalid zip" for me too...???
wont let me either in ohio!!
AZ is invalid, too.
Darn. ID invalid.
Same thing happening here too...I think they need to fix their site. Can't get through to CS either, they are probably closed since it's Saturday. Oh well...I was excited to see such a great deal too...guess it's one of those ...if it seems too good to be true, it probably is kind of things.
Didn't like my zip and I live in Washington state. Darn it!
Not valid in South Dakota.
Doesn't seem to like my Alabama zip either :)
Massachusetts zip code invalid too! :(
Anyone get through to Customer Service?
not valid in NV! Shucks :{
Wish I could do this! Same error for me "invalid zip code." I'm in FL.
Try again. It finally worked for me. They must have fixed the issue. I was able to get the 20% off. I purchased a mini body butter in Guava for $6.80 shipped. I hope I get the deluxe samples and bag.
i just tried it again too and it worked. i got the gum. cool...
It works now! I just got the gum. In my haste, though, I completely forgot about the 20% code so I'm kicking myself now for not saving another 50 cents. Oh well, it's still worth it to pay $2.50 and get that great sample package.
Works now like a charm!!! Exciting to receive all this for $2...planning on using some of the samples as Christmas gifts in the baskets I make...and stocking stuffers.
Thanks Hip2Save!

All morning I tried and was having problems with my zip (Ohio) but I just tried again and it worked! Thank you, there have been a lot of awesome finds lately!
I got through but it doesn't want to receive my info. My csv# is the 3 digits on the back of my card right?
Got it!
Got it.
from Illinois, tried this morning didn't work (invalid zipcode) just tried it now and it worked! YAHOO! thanks HIP2SAVE!
just wondering - has anyone got a confirmation email of your order?
order went through around 3 and just checked my e-mail, nothing yet!
Now that you mention it, no confirmation email! Oh, I hope it works still! I ordered about 3 hrs ago!
I just checked my bank account and the $2 is out! Good sign? Maybe?
I ordered the Lemon Gum for $2.50, but it said the discount code had expired. I ordered it anyway, still a great deal!
Just got their order submission page to work -- I went away for 7 hours (most of it couponing, of course!), came back, and my order went through fine. Awesome! Thanks, hip2save!
I just did it too! Thanks!
worked for me!!
Just placed order:
Bank acct shows payment pending
eMail confirmation has not been received.
Thanks Hip2Save!
Thanks! I ordered gum too.
Worked in Columbus OH, 43204!!
thanks Hip :)
Got in on this deal, thanks!
Works for me now too, and it didn't tell me the discount code was expired either, I ordered the gum and it made it $2.00 instead of $2.50.
it just worked for me in wilsonville, OR. and the discount code worked as well...
Thanks
What a good deal - all that for just 2 bucks! Thanks!
Hi Thank you for this deal. Only paid 2 bucks!! :)
I found a pencil sharpener for $3.00 ($2.40 with the discount). Thank you!
SWEET! tried all day yesterday and it wouldn't go through.Today when I tried it, it was a success!!! Thank you
Thanks - I got the gum too!
Ordered my gum too! Thanks for posting about this! I still have not received an e-mail confirmation though. Did anyone get one?
Thanks for letting us know about a great deal!
I haven't gotten an email confirmation either. Is this the same with anyone else?
For those of you having trouble getting the promo code to go through, be sure to type it in by hand - don't copy and paste it. That way it will go through without a problem. Good luck!
The promo code worked for me. I also had problems with "invalid zip code." Like someone else did, I went away for most of the day and when I came back, my zip was accepted!
I placed order on Sunday. But looked on this site today and now it states that the deluxe sampler is with any $25 purchase???? I'm interested to see if we actually get the deluxe sampler, even if we only purchased the gum?
Ya I also checked back and it says you have to purchase 25 dollars or more to get the cosmetic bag. =( That might the reasong I have not received an email from them saying that I purchased the gum?
That stinks! Do you think we will get the deluxe samples if we placed the order before it said with a $25 purchase? I hope we all get it!
Looks like we won't be getting our samples. Here is the email I got this afternoon....
Thank you for placing your order on korresusa.com. We regret to inform you that there was an error in our recent email newsletter. The free gift with purchase is available for purchases over $ 25.00 dollars ( limit one per customer). Due to this error, your current purchase will be cancelled and refunded. We apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your understanding as we resolve any issues with our new website.
For the remainder of the month of July, you may still use the code PREVIEW at check out to receive 20% off your entire order with free shipping. All orders over $ 25.00 will come with a complimentary gift with purchase.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you on www.korresusa.com!
*This offer cannot be combined with other promotions.
I got the same e-mail listed above....it's now a dead deal!
Too bad they're changing the rules. You would think a company like that would proofread their offers.
They should honor what their site said. It said w/ "any purchase". Bad publicity for them to change it now
I still have not recieved that e-mail, but I just can not believe that they don't honor the deal after they saw it read with any purchase! Not good customer service at all if you ask me!! I was really looking forward to getting this great deal. Oh well! Too good to be true, I guess.
awwww I'm bummed. CHecked my email and got the same one that said I wouldn't be getting it bc THEY made a mistake in their newsletter. I think they should still honor all the orders that went through. Too bad!
btw has anyone emailed them back?
Got the same email. :P
WOW. I haven't received that email yet but am expecting to see it any moment. What they thought would be a good promotion just made them look inept! I WILL do business with a company that offers great deals. I WILL NOT do business with a company that does not honor their own promotions - let alone completed transactions!!
Oh...and I WILL be emailing them back!!
Same deal breaking e-mail sent to me.
They just notified me that they would be canceling my $2 gum order as their e-mail was a mistake...I have to spend $25 to get a free gift...
i got the very same email that is was on orders of $25 to get free gift
I did too. It sucks. I won't be placing an order with them again.
well, I emailed them back and told them this is poor CS on their end. THey shouldn't make the consumer suffer for a mistake THEY made. And I believe they should honor all orders that were placed before their system was fixed.
It really is too bad they rescinded their offer. It isn't like they didn't know they had items for $2.50 when they said "with any purchase". They better refund my $2 ASAP if they are cancelling my order!!
Yes, I received the same e-mail. I feel as though they did not make a mistake. They just did not realize we would order a cheaper item to get a free product. Well, we did. So what. Now they change the rules??? What horrible business tactics!
I am in the same situation and very angry and concerned! Legally, I thought a company must honor their ads?? Customers who ordered prior to the min. purchased being changed to $25.00 should be honored. Korres is acting unethical and fraudulent, not to mention discrimination, in that, they DID fulfill some orders with purchases under $25.oo and cancelled others made prior to their "mistake" emai sent on July 21, 2009.
I highly suggest we ALL email Korres about the fraud and discrimination, bad PR etc. and notify the Better Business Bureau about them. Power in numbers! Maybe they will honor it after reading our emails-otherwise they will be loosing countless customers for life!
I emailed the company that I was disappointed, plus I posted my email on my blog...
I wrote a very concerning email to Korres about their promotion and here is the "hopeful" response I received. I thought you might be interested.....Michelle
From Korres 7-21-09
Dear Michelle,
We’ll be sending an email blast out to all affected by this situation with the resolution below but we wanted to personally respond to your email more quickly to address your serious concerns. We appreciate your business and hope the following resolution helps restore your good opinion of Korres Natural Products in some small way. While we cannot fulfill your expectations fully and ship the promised 3-pcs gift set we do hope the resolution we are able to offer is a least closer to your desired outcome than canceling your order.
We sincerely regret all that has transpired in the cancellation of your order. We’ve heard all of your concerns, read the blog posts, and received all of your criticism – and we’ve taken all of it to heart.
Simply, you are right. We could explain all kinds of things to you about what happened. But, really, the point is that you desired to be our customer. And we blew it. So, to explain is pointless . . . the age-old rule is that, as the customer, you are right.
We’re a better company, a better brand, and filled with better and caring people than what has been presented to you so far. While we realize your confidence and trust may never fully be restored, we’d like to do our best to bring things to a better place with you.
We will be shipping your order - free of any cost to you - no later than Friday July, 24th. We’ll be including a special gift of our Body Butter Trio – a collection of three of our best-selling body butters, $24.50. We regret that a lack of inventory prevents us from shipping the promised 3 pcs gift . If your credit card hasn’t already been credited for any charges related to your order, it is in process.
Even more than your business, we value your opinion of us. We are deeply apologetic for the time and aggravation you’ve spent on this situation. It’s our error, and we hope you will accept our sincere apologies.

Just received that email from Korres...nice to know that they listen to their customers. Maybe I should apply there as a proofreader - I'm sure someone got fired over this! ;)
Korres is awesome! :) I will definitely consider buying from them. they sent an email saying our orders will be sent free of charge with a body butter sample! awesome customer service!
I found the first email in my spam folder and then I just got the second one.Yay, I know it's because of all of you that emailed them and I thank you. A while back we had another cancellation and I was not ever going to try one again. So, again Thank You.
Looks like our angry emails worked! I am very happy they decided to do this, so great to know that if we all make our opinion known, they will listen! :)
WOO HOO Im so happy just got an email from them saying they are honoring it!!!! Plus refunding my money. Im so glad that I spoke my mind and it was listedned to! I can't wait to give them a retry. LOL hopefully I will love them and continue to shop with them.
I still haven't received any emails! I'm not quite sure where that leaves me...
My account HAS been charged, I never got a confirmation email, never got a cancellation email, never got the last email...
Is anyone else in the same situation?
Hi,Emilie. You might want to check your spam folder.
I got my stuff in the mail today! I must say that I'm very impressed.
I received my stuff today and my refund!! Yes!! Very nice.
