You also have a day to claim this free reward.  It makes me wonder would you ever make purchase just for a small free item like this?  In this case too, the company charges a shipping fee unless you make a specific purchase amount.  That makes it even less appealing if you had no intent to buy anything originally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ordera.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15105\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/cheap-free-item-to-encourage-shopping\/ordera\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ordera.png\" data-orig-size=\"650,245\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"ordera\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ordera-300x113.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ordera.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ordera.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"245\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ordera.png 650w, https:\/\/www.al6400.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/ordera-300x113.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It makes me wonder if you could truly offer any kind of cheap item that would actually entice people to do some shopping.
