How to Request Alibaba Samples?

Have you got low-quality products? If yes, there might be many reasons. For example, you haven’t asked for an Alibaba samples inspection.

Based on our many years of experience, we have dealt with numerous suppliers and helped customers request product samples. Requesting a product sample requires some communication skills and knowledge to approach the supplier.

Sometimes, the supplier refuses. At that time, you need to change the way for request or contact other suppliers.

Today, we will have a comprehensive guide highlighting the exact procedure to request a sample from Alibaba suppliers.

Importance of Ordering Production Samples 

Physical or virtual samples of complex products are an excellent approach to high-quality products. You can know the excellence of your chosen supplier. Product samples are essential to our company’s decision-making process when selecting our potential supplier. Here are other goals you can achieve:

  • It determines whether the supplier is authentic or not.
  • What is the existing product quality control?
  • Is the product made of original materials?
  • You can get an idea of custom products from this also.

There can be other advantages of using mass production for bulk orders. It all depends on the goals you need to achieve.

Types of Alibaba Samples

There are four types of paid or free product samples in Chinese manufacturing on Alibaba. I recommend you utilize more than 1 sample type to assess the product quality thoroughly. This way, you’ll know whether your supplier can meet your strict requirements. 

Here are the sample types:

  • Factory Samples— Factory samples are ready-to-ship product samples enabling quick delivery to the customers. Factory samples are not custom, and you can’t propose customized features. You can grab a factory sample from your supplier.
  • Custom Samples— The customer specifies the features. The Chinese manufacturers apply those features and send the product custom samples.
  • Batch Samples— These are counter samples of buying products being produced in massive amounts. You can get batch samples from many suppliers.
  • Virtual Samples— These are 3D-designed models to get the idea of the product.

How To Request Samples On Alibaba?

How To Request Samples On Alibaba

Alibaba product samples are pretty essential to order. Nowadays, Alibaba has introduced a free ordered samples center to help potential buyers get free product samples. This is very convenient and cost-effective for my clients with a minimal budget. Those that can’t afford paid samples. 

So, here are two steps to get your sample ready:

Step 1: Since our goal is to request product samples from Chinese suppliers, you must check the following details about the supplier before doing it.

  • Suppliers’ Profile: Check the details about the suppliers, whether they are verified or not. Moreover, you can check their gold supplier membership.
  • Buyers Reviews: Determine how the supplier is performing. What other buyers are talking about the suppliers? It is pretty crucial to know.
  • Shipping Fee: Shipping fees determine how much expenses you can spend on the product samples.

Do you know why do we check all this? It guarantees whether the supplier will offer the samples or not. 

Step 2: After checking all this, you can contact the supplier and write a brief message asking for the price and samples shipping. If the supplier agrees, that would be great!

You can assess the quality of product samples and demonstrate whether you should order that particular Alibaba supplier or not.
