How long does a high-speed turbo fan sample take and what does it cost?

Direct answer: Stock samples ship in 3 to 5 business days and customised samples in 8 to 12 business days after artwork approval. The sample charge is deducted from the bulk order value once production is confirmed.

What a sample proves, and what it does not

A sample proves the build quality, the finish, the noise level and the actual mist or airflow figure. It does not prove the certification position of your production build, it does not prove the packing will survive a container, and it does not prove the firmware version you will receive. Treat the sample as a build reference and ask separately for the test report and the carton drop test.

For high-speed turbo fans the sample is worth grading against the specific complaint your market reports — in our experience heat build-up on a long maximum-speed run, a battery that loses capacity in a hot car, and a nozzle that clogs with fine dust — rather than against a generic checklist.

Timeline from enquiry to sample in hand

Enquiry to quotation is one working day once the model, quantity and destination market are stated. Stock samples ship in 3 to 5 business days. Customised samples — your logo, colour or retail packaging — take 8 to 12 business days after artwork approval, because the housing colour is a paint or moulding change and the carton needs a proof.

Sample cost and how the charge is cleared

The sample charge covers the unit plus express freight, and is quoted as two separate lines so you can see what the unit costs and what the courier costs. The unit charge — not the freight — is deducted from the bulk order value once production is confirmed. Where a sample needs a custom colour, the paint or moulding setup is quoted separately and is also credited against the first bulk order.

How to inspect the sample when it arrives

Run the unit for a full fill cycle before you judge it, not for five minutes. Grade noise at one metre with the room quiet, because a showroom reading flatters every model. Check the tank seal on a tilted surface. Check that the plug or adapter matches your market, and that the marking on the rating label matches the report you were sent. Photograph anything you intend to raise, because a photograph taken on arrival is the document that settles a production dispute later.

Related questions

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for high-speed turbo fans?

The MOQ is 300 pieces per model. Combined orders can start at 500 pieces across two airflow ratings that share one housing, and a 100-piece trial on current in-stock models. MOQ is set by the packaging run and the first-article inspection batch, not by a sales target.

Do you offer OEM and ODM services for high-speed turbo fans?

Yes. OEM covers housing colour, logo and retail packaging. ODM works from nozzle geometry, motor speed rating, battery capacity and control logic, with tooling already amortised so no mould cost is passed to a first order.

What is the production lead time for bulk high-speed turbo fan orders?

500 pieces are completed in 15 to 20 days after deposit and artwork confirmation. 3,000 pieces take 25 to 30 days. Both figures start at deposit, not at enquiry.
