samples are available, but need to confirm with customers firstly about the sample fees.

1. If factories, they dont require the sample fees. clients should pay for the freight

2. samples is charged, the freight can consider if buyer or seller afford it.

only take it as a fair, you can have a good situation to push forward.

some customers they would not pay for the sample fees even the freight, for such kind, it must better considering your company finaces. it's not a small charges.

mutual benefit is the best to continue the business.

Most of their views are satisfying. We do send samples free but we ask for our clients any of these,FEDEX,DHL,AIR21 account no.. If the client is really in need of the samples along side with the great price offer then there should be no means that the client will leave you during transaction.

We would like to ask the client  whether they can afford the courier fee before we send the sample.So  that's mutual benefit brings harmony  business relations!

Of course ,there is an exception.We are willing to send free sample and pay for the shipping cost  for some potential clients. That means : you pain , and you gain.

We are the Children furniture manufactory, mainly for kids car bed, bunk bed and bedroom set.

Some time, the customer asked the sample to test the quality.

As usual, we will ask the customer to pay the sample fee + shipping cost.

I think, all is depends, for the small and less value proucts, the seller can pay the sample fee and shipping cost, but for the big and expensive products, the buyer have to ask the customer to pay the cost.

For example, regarding to one of our car bed sample, it cost: sample fee (product cost) 95 EUR + shipping cost (about) 300 EUR.

So, here, that is why we need ask the customer pay all the charges for the sample.

I think regarding to this question, all depends.

We always appreciate the methods of "free sample + buyer pays shipping freight" in the first transaction,  anyway sometimes we pay the shipping freight when we had established stable relationships with the clients. But actually many clients support us very much, they always pay the shipping freight even when we are familiar with each other well.
