I joined Niceques last quarter of 2017. After a few months of taking survey I was able to claim one free item and shipping is free.
With regards to earning survey point, it will take some time to accumulate high points but the good thing is that Nicequest have a variety of items that you can claim with the amount of points you got in your account.
Nicequest is a good survey site to get free items in exchange of your time in completing their partner surveys.
