Request a Sample – Frequently Asked Questions
1. What’s the difference between stock samples and custom samples?
Stock samples are pre-made pieces showcasing our standard materials, finishes, and adhesives. They help you evaluate our craftsmanship but don’t include your logo or custom design.
Custom samples are made specifically for you based on your artwork and specifications, giving you an accurate preview of the final product.
2. Is there a fee for custom sample production?
Yes, there is a $100 fee to cover the setup costs such as material preparation, printing, engraving, and quality control. This fee is fully refundable when you place a bulk order.
3. Can I get stock samples for free?
Absolutely. Stock samples are free, and you only pay for shipping. This is a risk-free way to check our quality before ordering custom parts.
4. How long will it take to receive my sample?
Stock samples: Shipped within 1–2 business days after shipping payment.
Custom samples: Typically ready in 5–7 business days, plus delivery time depending on your location.
5. How do I request a sample?
Contact us via our form or email. Please specify whether you want a stock or custom sample. We will guide you through payment and shipping details.
6. Can I request multiple sample types?
Yes, you can request different finishes, materials, or adhesives for comparison. Additional fees may apply for multiple custom sample variations.
7. Is the $100 sample fee charged per unit or per order?
The $100 fee is per custom sample order, covering one design proof. For multiple design variations, we will provide a customized quote.
8. What if I decide not to place a bulk order after receiving the sample?
If you don’t proceed with a bulk order, the $100 custom sample fee is non-refundable, as it covers actual production costs. We believe this investment helps you evaluate quality and build trust.
