Product samples before you order

Frequently asked questions
Are car accessories samples free?
Samples are charged at cost: the product plus express shipping. The amount is credited against your order of that product.
Can I get a sample of a jack or a lift?
Jacks, axle stands and smaller compressors can be sent, but heavy items cost much more by express, so we show the cost first. Lifts and large workshop compressors are usually judged from the manufacturer's documents, photos and videos rather than a sample.
Can cordless inflators, dash cams and power tools be sampled?
Yes, but lithium batteries travel under dangerous-goods rules with the manufacturer's UN38.3 test summary, so these samples cost more and can take longer than the usual 7–14 days.
Will the bulk order be identical to the sample?
The approved sample is the reference for production and inspection. Normal manufacturing tolerances apply, and we inspect the goods against the sample before shipment.
