FAQ

Dig-In are a small business with a big idea. The transition to student life is exciting but can be challenging. We work to support students on arrival and through their time at university.

Dig-In will provide you with free samples and will listen to your opinions. We represent students collectively to ensure your voice is heard by those that need to hear it.

Dig-In provides free Dig-In boxes to over 140 universities and accommodation providers to enrich the welcome service they provide you. We also share your experiences to help them improve the service they provide and work with them in important areas such as mental health policies and sexual consent education.

We aim to maintain the highest ethical standards but we know we can make mistakes. Should you have any strong feelings or concerns, please share them with us.

Dig-In works hard to persuade big brands to channel their marketing budgets to students, predominantly via sampling activity. Dig-In provides over 400,000 boxes through the Freshers period so it is very much a challenge to source this many samples from a business, be they big or small. We will continue to strive to make the box better and deliver more free samples to your halls throughout the year.

Dig-In wants to deliver boxes of the highest ethical standards with healthy and useful contents. On such a large scale it is hard to provide products that meet everyone’s requirements. Healthy brands tend to have products with a much higher price point and therefore sampling is a very significant investment for them. We promise to keep aiming high and working hard.

We’re sad that you no longer wish to receive communications from us about free samples and offers, but we understand. Simply email us on help@digin.co.uk and we’ll make sure you’re taken off our database.

Currently Dig-In provides a box through Freshers period and one in April. Universities, Unions and Halls can all contact us to apply to receive the Dig-In box. Unfortunately we can’t currently provide them to members of the public, but we see the demand and aim to please, so watch this space.

The Dig In bag is a free box given out to Freshers students by your University or Accommodation Provider as part of their welcome to you. It’s a great way to start your new life at university and it’s completely free! There is no obligation to use any of the samples or offers inside the box (although why wouldn’t you!) and we will only add you to our mailing list for our regular prize draws, offers and samples if you give us permission to do so – it’s all up to you.
