Sending Samples of tubular rivets to India

Last week, we received an email from a company in Mumbai. They were looking for hollow rivets, specifically in the size 4x17. They asked if we could send them some samples. This might seem like a small thing, but for us, it's always an important first step.

A sample order is more than just putting a few pieces in an envelope. It's often the start of a new business relationship. It's our first chance to show a potential customer what we can do. We take it very seriously.

The product they asked about is a hollow rivet, 4mm in diameter and 17mm in length. These are common fasteners used in many industries - from electronics to automotive parts. They're called "hollow" because they have a hole through the center. This makes them lighter and allows them to be used in different applications than solid rivets.

Preparing this sample order involved several steps. First, we had to make sure we had the exact product they needed. Then we had to prepare all the necessary documents for international shipping. Finally, we had to choose the right shipping method to make sure the samples would arrive safely and on time.

About Nuote Metals and Our Samples

I'm Wang from Nuote Metals. We've been making fasteners like these hollow rivets for over ten years. Our factory may not be huge, but we're known for paying attention to details.

When we prepare samples, we don't just pick random pieces from our inventory. We actually run a small production batch specifically for the sample order. This way, we can be sure the customer receives products that represent exactly what we can produce in larger quantities.

For this 4x17 tubular rivet order, I personally oversaw the production. I watched as the brass wire went through our machines, being cut and formed into the perfect little rivets. We checked the dimensions carefully , the 4mm diameter had to be precise, and the 17mm length had to be exact. Even the surface finish mattered - smooth and consistent, with no scratches or marks.

Then came the packaging. We placed the rivets in small plastic bags, sealed them properly to prevent moisture, and put them in a sturdy cardboard box.

Shipping to India requires some paperwork. We had to prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, and other customs documents. We made sure everything was filled out correctly to avoid any delays at customs.

Some people might think sending samples is just a cost. But we see it differently. It's an investment. It's our way of saying, "We value your potential business, and we want to show you what we can do."

The samples we sent to Mumbai left our factory yesterday. Now we wait, hoping the engineers there will like what they see. Maybe this small box of rivets will be the beginning of a long partnership. That's what we always hope for when we send samples abroad - that these small metal pieces will build bridges between us and customers across the world.
