How to Order
To obtain a product sample, please discuss your request with your Account Manager. Note that adequate time is necessary (1-3 days) to receive and review the product sample as it can add up to a week or more to the overall ordering process.
The following information is required for a sample order:
1. Product name(s) or number
2. Company name, shipping address, telephone number
3. Shipping account number (if necessary)
Pre-Production Samples
- An exact copy of the final product in producing your order, only rather than shipping the entire order to you, you are receiving 1 unit only
- Highly recommended as they ultimately ensure you are 100% satisfied with the end result: changes can still be made before the entire production process is started
- Recommended however not required
Cost
The cost of a pre-production sample can vary depending on the product ordered. A pre-production sample may seem costly, but this is mainly due to the setup and preparation involved in producing a single customized item. Think of it as an investment: when ordering $5,000 worth of customized products, is it not worth it to spend $75-200 to ensure that the final product fully meets your expectations?
Please do not hesitate to inquire with your account manage for further information on pre-production samples.
Shipping
Shipping charges for pre-production samples are the responsibility of the client. We can use our shipping account and then bill the charges to you in the case that you do not have a shipping account (i.e. UPS, FedEx, DHL or Purolator).
How to Order
To obtain a pre-production sample, please contact your request with our Sales Department.
Payment
All pre-production samples must be paid for at the time of request. Pre-production sample orders will not be processed until written authorization with payment is received.
