Review the product before a larger stock decision.

Where sampling is practical for a garment opportunity, Hamida Traders can provide a standard quality-check sample so the buyer can physically review relevant product details before a larger commercial decision. The standard sample is provided free by Hamida Traders; courier or freight is arranged at the buyer's cost.

PRODUCT SAMPLING PROCEDURE

A practical sampling path
for garment buyers.

Sampling is handled against a specific stock opportunity or sourcing discussion. It is not an automatic free-sample service, and a sample request does not reserve the full stock unless that is separately confirmed in the commercial arrangement.

01
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION

Confirm the exact product you want to sample

The buyer should identify the relevant stock offer, product, style or requirement so Hamida Traders can determine what physical sample, if any, can represent the opportunity.

PRODUCT
02
SAMPLE AVAILABILITY

Check whether a representative sample can be provided

Sample availability depends on the actual stock location, quantity, assortment and whether removing or preparing a sample is practical. Warehouse-held and factory-held stock may require different coordination.

03
STANDARD FREE SAMPLE

Hamida Traders provides the standard quality-check sample free

Normally, one representative piece is sent for physical quality review. Where useful and practically available, one or two color samples may be provided. In some cases one garment is sufficient and additional color or fabric swatches may be included so the buyer can compare available fabric colors without requiring a complete garment in every color.

04
SAMPLE PREPARATION

Choose the most useful sample format for the product

The sample is connected to the relevant stock or offer. Depending on the garment and available assortment, Hamida Traders may send one representative garment, one or two garment colors, or one garment together with additional fabric/color swatches. Relevant size, color, label or packing details can be identified where applicable.

05
COURIER & DISPATCH

Buyer pays the courier or uses the buyer's courier account

The standard sample itself is free, but courier/freight is the buyer's responsibility. The buyer may provide an available courier account for shipment, or the applicable courier cost can be arranged with the buyer before dispatch. Delivery time depends on the courier service and destination.

BUYER REVIEW

Review the physical sample against the buying requirement

The buyer can assess relevant characteristics such as style, fabric feel, construction, workmanship, color, size, labels and packing details to the extent represented by the sample.

REVIEW
07
NEXT COMMERCIAL STEP

Confirm whether to continue with the stock discussion

After reviewing the sample, the buyer can continue the commercial discussion, request clarification where necessary, or decide not to proceed. A sample approval does not itself create a completed order.

DECISION
WHAT A SAMPLE CAN HELP REVIEW

Useful product details before
a larger buying decision.

01

Fabric & Construction

Review the fabric feel, garment construction, finishing and visible workmanship represented by the physical sample.

02

Size, Color & Style

Check the supplied sample's style, size and color details while remembering that full-stock assortment must be confirmed separately.

03

Labels & Packing

Where available and relevant, review main labels, care labels, hangtags, individual packing or other product presentation details represented by the sample.

IMPORTANT SAMPLE LIMITATIONS

A sample represents a product — not automatically the entire stock.

Stocklot and excess garments can contain assortments across sizes, colors, packing or other characteristics. Buyers should use the sample together with the stock information and any agreed inspection process when making the final decision.

BUYER CHECKPOINTS

Understand what is and is not confirmed by the sample

A physical sample is an important review tool, but full-stock quantity, assortment, condition and commercial availability remain subject to the information and confirmation for the actual stock lot.

SAMPLE REVIEW Helps the buyer assess the physical product characteristics represented by the sample.
FULL STOCK REVIEW Quantity, assortment, broader stock condition and packing should be confirmed through the applicable stock information and inspection process.
WAREHOUSE VS FACTORY STOCK

Sample coordination can differ
by stock location.

WH

Hamida Traders Warehouse

For selected warehouse-held garments, sample identification and preparation may be more direct because the stock is physically held by Hamida Traders.

FX

Factory-Held Stock

Where garments remain at a factory, sample availability and dispatch may require factory coordination and must follow the practical conditions of that stock opportunity.

SR

Sourced Opportunity

For newly sourced stock opportunities, the sample process depends on the supplier, stock location and what can reasonably be made available for buyer review.

HAMIDA TRADERS SAMPLE POLICY

Standard quality-check sample free. Buyer covers delivery.

Our aim is to give the buyer a practical physical reference without requiring unnecessary full garments in every available color. The exact sample format is selected according to the product, stock availability and what is useful for quality and color review.

STANDARD SAMPLE POLICY

Simple, practical and clear before dispatch

Hamida Traders confirms what can be supplied for the specific stock opportunity before the sample is prepared.

FREE STANDARD SAMPLE Hamida Traders provides the standard quality-check sample free of charge. Normally this is one representative garment; where useful and available, one or two garment colors may be supplied.
COLOR / FABRIC SWATCH OPTION When a full garment in every color is unnecessary, one representative garment may be sent together with swatches from other available fabric colors so the buyer can compare color options.
COURIER PAID BY BUYER The buyer pays courier/freight or provides an available courier account for dispatch. The sample being free does not include international or domestic delivery cost.
MORE SAMPLES If the buyer needs more garments, more colors, additional sizes or another expanded sample set, the buyer should contact Hamida Traders by email. We will confirm whether the additional samples are available and whether any sample/product charge applies.
NO AUTOMATIC STOCK RESERVATION A free sample request, dispatch or approval does not automatically reserve the remaining stock. Any stock reservation or purchase confirmation must be agreed separately.
