How to request samples without the cold emails
Updated 23 October 2026
You shouldn't have to wade through cold emails to find your next brand. Here's how buyers use LlamaPort to find brands and get samples on their own terms.
Find the brands
Browse by category, type, country of origin and style, or search. Heart the drinks you want to come back to. Your shortlist lives in your Buyer Hub.
Ask in one click
On a drink's page, press Request samples (or Request price, or Introduce me). No forms. It starts a chat with the brand in your Messages. They see you as a number, your buyer type and your country, never your name, until you tick Show who I am.
Send your address when you're ready
Once a brand replies, send your samples address in one click. A business email is checked straight away; from a personal email we check you first. You can make up to 10 sample requests a month.
Stay in charge
Brands never write to you first, and only reply to your messages. If a drink isn't right, mark it Not for us and move on. Free for buyers.
