In B2B procurement decisions, we understand that images and specification sheets alone cannot fully convey the true texture, craftsmanship, and build quality of a product. A sample is not just a adjustable dumbbells product; it is the "touchstone" for validating your supply chain capabilities and mitigating mass production risks.
To support this, we offer a transparent, flexible, and highly sincere sample service system. This allows you to comprehensively verify performance stability, design compatibility, and manufacturing quality before committing to a bulk order.
Q: Can you provide samples? How are sample fees calculated?
A: Absolutely. Samples are the most effective way to verify product quality and fit.
1. Sample Types & Application Scenarios
We offer three tiers of samples tailored to your specific validation needs:
|
Sample Type |
Core Purpose |
Configuration |
Ideal For |
|
Functional Prototype |
Performance Testing |
Standard color, no logo, complete internal mechanical structure. |
Initial product selection, engineering tests, competitive benchmarking. |
|
Appearance Mock-up |
Craftsmanship Verification |
Custom Pantone colors and basic logo silk-screening/laser engraving available. |
Market research, photography/marketing materials, trade show displays. |
|
Teardown Unit |
Structural Analysis |
Typically non-final assembly or specially marked versions for easy disassembly. |
Deep competitor analysis, supply chain audits, internal QC standard setting. |
2. Efficient Sample Delivery Lead Time
We are committed to responding to your sample requests as quickly as possible while ensuring quality:
Standard Samples (No Customization): Ship within 7-10 working days after order confirmation and payment.
Basic Custom Samples (e.g., Laser engraving, single color change): Requires an additional 3-5 working days for processing. Total lead time approx. 10-15 working days.
Deep Development Samples (Involving structural changes or new molds): Lead time depends on specific development hours. We will provide a detailed timeline.
3. Sample Fees & Rebate Policy
We implement a "Full Sample Fee Deduction" policy to minimize your procurement risk and demonstrate our commitment to long-term partnership.
A. Standard Samples
Fee Structure: Ex-works Product Cost + Actual Shipping Freight
Rebate Policy: Upon placing a formal bulk order (meeting MOQ), the sample fee is 100% fully deducted from the bulk order invoice.
Shipping: Sample freight is typically borne by the customer (collect or prepaid). If the subsequent bulk order value exceeds a specified threshold, freight costs may also be negotiable for reimbursement.
B. Deep Customization/Development Samples
Fee Structure: Material Cost + R&D Labor Hours + Mold/Fixture Amortization + Shipping Freight
Rebate Policy: Fees associated with extra R&D resources are also eligible for partial or full deduction against future bulk orders. Specific deduction ratios will be clearly stated in the "Sample Confirmation Agreement."
4. Simple Application Process (5 Steps)
Requirement Discussion : Contact our sales team to specify sample type, weight specs, colors, and logo requirements.
Quotation & Confirmation: Receive a detailed quote including fee breakdown, lead time, and rebate terms.
Fast Scheduling : Confirm and pay the sample fee to immediately lock in production slots.
Production & Shipping : Upon completion, we provide HD verification photos/videos for your approval before shipping with a tracking number.
Acceptance & Bulk Order: After successful testing, initiate bulk production. The sample fee deduction is automatically triggered.
