<1. Is it common for manufacturers to charge for samples?

***Sometime yes, sometime no... the question is, do you have usa custoemrs
who have already affirmed this is a good idea and does not exist... if so, then
this cost is a small thing overall... more important, what is the
relationship with the supplier... from the suppliers point of view, the question
is, "how
well are YOU tied in with customers in USA?."***

2. I don't have a shipper account. Do I need to setup a shipper account
with a freight company?

***well, all depends...that would be simpler, and probabaly better if you
have custoemrs who say this is a good idea...etc...
if not, and nobody you know awaits these things, cheapest best may be just to
air parcel post the tiems to your house... the seller wants your freight
company number so he does not have to front the cost of freight.***

3. What freight company do most people use for cost and reliability? UPS?

***all depends, but that is proabably good enough...get three bids type thing
if you start looking at a lot of these transactions.***

Thanks in advance,
