BEFORE YOUR COLLECTION BEGINS
Sample Policy
From Sample to Order
When your confirmed order reaches 3,000 pieces or more, the sampling fee is fully credited against your order payment. Your early development investment becomes part of the collection you bring to market.
Sampling Fee Waivers
Choose an existing brush design for private labelling and place an order of more than 5,000 pieces to apply for a sampling fee waiver. Our team will review eligibility with your selected designs and order requirements.
Sample Delivery
Samples are normally dispatched by DHL or FedEx using your freight-collect account. Provide your courier account, delivery address and contact details so we can arrange shipment and share the tracking information.
Room to Refine
Your sampling plan includes three complimentary revision rounds. Brush shape, colour, logo position or size, and packaging copy adjustments all count towards these rounds. Combine your feedback for a clear next step.
Additional Revisions
Further revisions are charged at RMB 300 per round and extend sampling by seven working days. Structural changes to an existing mould require a fresh quotation and an updated schedule before work proceeds.
Your Samples, Your Next Step
Completed samples belong to you. If no order or feedback is received within 30 working days, we reserve the right to dispose of samples remaining with us. Share your evaluation so we can agree on the next step together.
About Sampling Fees
Sampling fees cover the actual plate-making costs, material wastage, and labour incurred during sampling. They are not an advance payment.
Fee credits are linked to order quantity to help customers with genuine purchasing needs reduce the upfront cost of testing and refining their products.
