Hey there! That's a really smart question - getting samples is absolutely crucial before committing to a large order of urban trash cans. Here's our typical process:
First, you'll want to visit our website and navigate to the specific product page for the trash can model you're interested in. You'll find a "Request Sample" button right next to the "Add to Cart" option. Clicking this will take you to a simple form where you can specify your requirements.
The form typically asks for:
- Which specific model(s) you'd like to sample
- Any color preferences (we have standard colors available for sampling)
- Whether you need any custom logos or branding
- Your intended use case (parks, streets, commercial areas, etc.)
Once you submit the request, our sales team usually responds within 24 hours to confirm availability and discuss any special requirements. For standard models, samples typically ship within 3-5 business days. Customized samples (with logos or special colors) might take 7-10 days.
Here's what's important to know about costs:
Standard samples are usually provided at a discounted rate that covers about 50% of the retail price, plus shipping. This discount is because we understand you're seriously evaluating for a larger order. If you proceed with a bulk order later, we often credit back the sample cost against your first large shipment.
During your evaluation, we recommend testing:
- Durability and material quality
- Capacity and functionality
- Weather resistance
- Ease of cleaning and maintenance
- Installation requirements
The whole process from request to delivery generally takes 1-2 weeks for standard samples, or 2-3 weeks for customized ones. We're always available to answer any specific questions about the samples once you receive them!
Hope this helps you move forward with your urban improvement project. Feel free to reach out if you need any clarification or have additional questions about the sampling process.
