just wanting to know what samples are, i think they are just the same product as a minumum order, is this just so you can test the product so you dont have to buy a minumum order?

not really because the prices for a sample are usually more expensive because they are not bought in bulk

Sometimes the supplier charges more for a supplier because you are buying 1. They try

to deter you from putting in small orders. However, instead of being penny wise pound

foolish, it is better to pay a little more, buy the sample to check out first before

committing to a big order
