Samples Request
At theplasticshop.co.uk we know that it's nice to get touchy-feely with materials before you're sure it's what you want.
That's why we'd be pleased to send a sample pack of materials for you to evaluate before you place an order.We can send a maximum of 3 samples per pack for which we make a small administration charge of £5.00
This charge is fully refundable if you subsequently place an order for one of the sampled materials. We will send a voucher code with your samples, which can be used when you checkout on your next visit*
Sample packs normally take a couple of days to be prepare, we send them via Royal Mail 1st Class post, so you should expect to receive them within 3/5 working days - if you need them urgently, please call us and let us know.
