Are samples chargable?
Post 1 of 14
When we send out samples to potential customers, should we ask them to pay for the freight cost?

Sure, the courier cost is too much. We need to ask for freight cost.

Quoting from [grigo]:Replying To [OnTheGo]:This has been discussed thousands of times in this forum.
The simple answer is YES.
adding to grigo's answer (which is the best one).... If a customer is SERIOUS then they will be willing to pay sample freight charges........ Offer them a refund once they place an order... make sure you confirm this with your boss before offering though!
There are too many "sample hunters" out there these days for suppliers to have to take on the cost of freight charges for samples.

Replying to [Foow]: Thanks for all your input. I think it's a good suggestion that I should charge them and then reimburse them for their first order. But I believe it's also a case-by-case basis. There are some companies who "die die" also don't want to pay for ANYTHING! Of course, those are the "cheap-skates" ones. ![[em2]](http://img.alibaba.com/images/eng/style/icon/emoticons_laugh.gif)

YES if the buyer is new. NO if buyer and seller have a longterm cooperation with trust and credit.

Replying to [OnTheGo]: Sure. Most companies will offer their samples free, but not the shipping & freight charge.
