non-returnable, but we work with you to find the right product. If there&#8217;s a quality issue, we&#8217;ll replace at no cost.<\/p>\n<h4>Q: How long do I have to evaluate samples?<\/h4>\n<p>A: No time limit. We understand evaluation takes time. Most customers complete evaluation in 2-8 weeks.<\/p>\n<h4>Q: Can I get samples of custom configurations?<\/h4>\n<p>A: Yes, but custom samples have longer lead time (2-3 weeks) and may require NRE fee if truly custom.<\/p>\n<h4>Q: Is sample pricing negotiable?<\/h4>\n<p>A: For serious projects with clear volume potential, we can discuss sample pricing.
