Or you are dealing with other trading company or buying agent, so they need more time to confirm with their clients?

What a silly question. Just because you send a sample means that the person will buy?

There are no guarantees don't send any samples that you can't afford to loose.

Keep in mind that starting a b usiness takes time, so the person might need to show the sample to a few people, possibly even borrow money, make a plan etc, sourcing is only the very start.

Keep it cool my man.

You should mak eteh customer pay a small fee before sending the sample, especially if it costs you to manufacture etc.

This is what i have done to my China supllier. This way you begin to build up trust.

yes Ropero770 is right. sending samples to other people not mean they will buy. there is long way to get a order. do not hurry ,just wait .

It's very normal to wait in this case.

We are in the industry of building materials and most of our clients won't buy within two weeks after they receive our samples. Some has to do the test, some has to show samples to their partners, some has to show the samples to their customers, and some is waiting samples from other suppliers for comparison. Be patient and good luck!
