Product samples before you order
Run the trimmer, open the sprinkler, drive a few screws, light the grill. Before you order in volume we send garden products samples from the catalogue and branded pre-production samples of your private label tool or garden product to your address in the EU. Autumn and winter is the best time to sample next spring’s range.

Frequently asked questions
Are samples free?
Samples are charged at cost: the product plus express shipping. The amount is credited against your order of that product.
Can a greenhouse, grill or furniture set be sent as a sample?
Yes, but bulky items cost much more to send by express. We show the cost first, so you can decide which items are worth testing, for example one chair instead of a full set.
Can I get samples of cordless tools?
Yes, but lithium batteries travel under dangerous goods rules, so these samples cost more and can take longer than the usual 7–14 days. A bare tool without battery is faster where you only need to check build and handling.
When should we order samples for the spring season?
Between September and November. Samples, approval and branding then fit before the October–November deadline for own-brand spring programmes and the factory holidays in late January–February.
Will the bulk order be identical to the sample?
The approved sample is the reference for production and inspection. Normal manufacturing tolerances apply, and any change in specification is agreed in writing.
