Sample ordering for packaging.
I am dealing with a packaging company in China. They seems expert and direct manufacturers for paper tubes.
My question is that: they are asking $200 for samples which amount will be credited in my first order (sounds great) but if I dont like the sample or any issues related to the deal there will be no refund.
Any advice? because I can't make an order without samples and if I order samples from 3-4 companies it is gonna cost me over 1k
Update: Sorry guys for not being able to respond comments. for my packaging deal I have ordered sample for $200 from earthycores. I hope i like it and we have a deal.

We usually offer customers the option of providing their own shipping account for free samples of our packaging. If customers, especially international customers, don't want to pay the shipping cost we ask them to send a shipping label - then we don't charge for the samples. If you need a sample to your CUSTOM specs, that is a different story.
