Well, actually I found out about this site from wahwatchdog.com, a site that grades and gives info and warnings on different sites. And the reason why I decided to try this site was because it had a B rating. And therefore I checked it out, and I will see how it goes for a few weeks. Then I will get back to you all and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the response, I greatly appreciate any and all feedback.

I was curious as to how anyone could make money giving things away. Of course it didn't sound right to me so I did a search on freeblvd.com and found out that it's a scam so be careful if you plan on becoming a member.
You can check it out here if you want to.

Hello, I love country music too..Reba is my favorite. Anyway thanks for the response. I can see your concern. And I actually don't see where the scam is. I mean if you are getting something free and only have to pay shipping, where's the problem? There are things that sell on tv that take 4-6 weeks for shipping unless you pay more to get it sooner. I've bought things on ebay for $1.50 and paid some of the same shipping charges that's on freeblvd. The shipping is how the company and affiliates make their money, just like on ebay. So, do you have any other valid information that could show that this site is a scam? If so please share it with me, because the shipping issues doesn't necessarily deem that it is a scam.
Also, due to what some of the items are, you can pretty much know that they are being shipped directly from the warehouse or factory, which is probably out of the country or in some small town.
All I know is, someone is getting paid little of nothing to make these items and if I or anyone else purchases from this site, it's helping put food on the table of a single mother or toys under the Christmas tree for some struggling family who's trying to make ends meet. So, I'm going to give it a chance. In fact, order something and come back to this topic in 4-6 weeks and discuss the quality of the product.
Once again, thank you for responding, and please feel free to come back with more information that you may find in regards to this site.

Please keep us posted. There are a couple of places that give out "free" stuff, where they make money on the shipping, which sometimes I order from - but they don't have membership programs to open stores. I think freeblvd also makes money by charging members $39.95 a month, which is about $480 a year. I ordered a couple of things from cyberrebate when they were around. I don't think they were a scam. Their products were overpriced and became comparable when the rebate was applied. I did receive my rebates when I ordered from them.
