Why do you charge for plain samples?
We make all UK samples to order and on average we send out around 20 samples per day, as manufacturers with competitive margins we simple can’t afford not to charge for samples, sorry. Samples are not returnable.

Can a have a pre-production sample on my order?
Yes you can, we charge pre-production sample at the normal unit cost from the main order, the only extra cost is to send the sample out and if the order is changed once your client has seen the sample a charge may be incurred for screens etc. Also, please bear in mind that your lead time will be from approval of the pre production sample so allow more time.
