Wholesale wig samples and trial orders: how the process works

Wholesale wig samples are the cheapest way to test a supplier before a production order. You order one piece, quoted at the lowest listed price for its model — there is no sample surcharge — and you cover the freight. Our wholesale minimum is 3 pieces per model, so the sample is a one-piece decision you make ahead of any commitment. This page sets out the whole process for wholesale wig samples: what to order, what the piece has to prove, what it costs, and how a sample turns into a production order.

What a sample order is for

A sample answers three questions in one piece: does the colour repeat, does the texture match the specification, and is the construction built the way it was described. Because the sheet, not the label, is what a supplier can be held to, the sample is the reference you hold against the first bulk delivery. Order the length and colour you plan to lead with, so the piece you approve is the piece you reorder.

Ordering wholesale wig samples

The mechanics are simple. Pick a model, tell us the length, colour code and construction, and we quote one piece at the lowest listed price for that model. There is no sample surcharge and no minimum on a sample — the only extra is the freight, which you pay. We confirm the hair type, lace size, length, colour code and construction in writing before the piece is made, and we can share reference photos of current production so you can check the specification against what is on the line.

What the piece has to prove

Check the sample against the sheet, not against a photograph. Measure the strand — human hair runs roughly 0.017–0.18 mm across, and a European strand should sit at the fine end of that. Read the weight for its length against the published figures, inspect the cap and the knotting, then hold the strand beside hair you already stock. If the piece matches the specification you have bought information; if it does not, you have spent the freight and learned it before committing a quantity.

What it costs, and the wholesale minimum

A single piece is quoted at the lowest listed price for its model; the freight is yours. Wholesale then starts at 3 pieces per model, so the jump from trial to production is small and predictable. Because a real-hair wig is a multi-year product — the NHS puts real-hair wigs at 3 to 4 years against 6 to 9 months for synthetic — the sample is where a buyer decides whether that lifespan is real. All other terms, payment included, are confirmed with the quotation.

From sample to production order

Once you approve a piece, the order is written from the same specification: model, length, colour code, construction, quantity and packing. Keep the approved piece. When the bulk delivery arrives, compare it to the sample and to the sheet; that comparison is the whole point of ordering wholesale wig samples in the first place, and it is the fastest quality check a buyer has.

Published reference	Lace line: 14–22 in, 155–235 g; medical caps: 12–18 in, 125–170 g hand-tied / 115–165 g machine-back
What the sample must match	Colour code, diameter, weight and construction on the specification sheet

Questions buyers ask

Is there a minimum for a sample?

No. A sample is one piece, quoted at the lowest listed price for its model, with the freight at your cost. The wholesale minimum — 3 pieces per model — applies only once you move to production.

How long does a sample take?

Timing is confirmed with the quotation, because it depends on the model, the colour code and the current line. We can share reference photos of current production while you wait, so the specification can be checked before the piece ships.

Can I order samples of more than one code?

Yes. Each piece is quoted separately at the lowest listed price for its model. When a shade is the deciding factor, sample the lightest one you plan to sell — it is the hardest to hit and the quickest to expose a colour that will not repeat.
