Getting samples is an important step before bulk orders. At AUTOCNEX, we aim to provide samples quickly so you can evaluate quality.
Sample Production Time
- Standard samples: 7-10 business days
- Customized samples (with your logo): 10-15 business days
Shipping Time
- Express (DHL, FedEx): 3-5 business days
- Air freight: 5-7 business days
- Sea freight (for bulk): 20-30 days
For example, if you request a sample of the 3D Digital Floral Rhinestone Long Sleeve Shirt (AC-RS-003), production takes about 7 days, and express shipping to the US takes 3-5 days.
Sample Costs
Sample cost is usually the unit price plus shipping. For AC-RS-003 at $38.87/pc, the sample cost would be $38.87 + shipping. The sample cost is often deducted from your bulk order.
We recommend ordering samples to verify quality and fit before committing to a large order.
