It is good to order for a sample before you purchase some product but here it more of a a choice when purchasing product online. So yes I always want to do this

It is only applicable in an offline business where we can visibly see the products or items being displayed especially the ready-to-consume foods. It is a risk if buy something unusual online needing a sample.

It only happens in small food stores. But it is only the soup that will be tasted to know if the customer likes free soup after tasting. There s free soup in small food stores.
That is a good one but this kind of busienss will be finding it hard to succeed in Nigeria. It is because a lot of people may not want to buy food. They will only want to taste it

Asking for free samples before placing an order is good for further satisfaction, as we need to satisfy ourselves for our deal. So whenever I see the deal is going to big I demand for free sample.

It sounds weird, they should not do that because the owner capitalized her business. It will be a shame if the reason to taste is to satisfy their sudden hunger. They can buy a little food.

There are times when you cannot get the free samples because some sellers may not agree with it and it made it very stressful for you to get the samples too. That's how it is

It depends on the kind of product and the location of the seller. You can't expect a free sample to be sent from a location that is interstate. Except the customer is buying in very large quantities.

Yes, I think it is good to ask for a sample before ordering something. You wouldn't want to regret your purchase later on. Companies should be aware of this need and have some products set aside for customers to sample.

Yes, I do ask for free sample before placing my orders. And while placing my order I made it known that my new order must comply with the free sample given. The order must not in anyway different from the free sample given. This is to guard my interest that another format is not supplied to me.

For some organizations that have limited stock, it might be increasingly impossible for a customer to be given free samples. That is why I don't always expect free samples. I just buy based on credibility.

I rarely ask for free samples before placing an order, because rarely do they provide free samples. Except for offline food sellers, we may taste a little before deciding to buy it.

I think we all should and it's suited for manufacturing companies and they even call the other party to witness the process so everything stays transparent and if the sample works as per expectation then we can go ahead for a big order.
If ordering for large number of product. I will always make sure I taste a sample especially when their return policy is strict to avoid problems in the long run and also to satisfy customers need.

Its a good practice if you ask me and seller should themselves provide free samples as that will only gonna make them more popular in the eyes of buyers so it will also help in making their business profitable

When we need raw materials for the production process, if we ask our suppliers for samples, we will only be given a small sample, especially if the price of the raw materials we order is very high, we will only be shown quality goods according to your request and you may not be given a sample. large quantities of raw materials.

Not all products you can request for free samples before making purchases. Like electronic gadgets, will you ask of free samples?. Nevertheless, there are some goods giving samples are just necessary in order to win the heart of vthe customers.

That's one of the edge of offline business especially when buying edible products, there isn't much problem with electronics products since in most cases the features possessed by these items must have been given .

Yes, you're so right, plus there is no sample tasting of foods in online. It's not good to buy food online unless you know the seller. They might sell us perished food. My co worker was a victim of this food delivered contained worms.
