1. Sample Request Process – 4 Steps to Get the Right Exhaust Fan Sample

1. Submit Your Requirements
   Clearly specify the application scenario: is it for a ceiling exhaust fan, bathroom light exhaust fan, kitchen exhaust fan, attic exhaust fan, garage exhaust fan, window exhaust fan, toilet exhaust fan, ventilation exhaust fan, wall mounted exhaust fan, or bathroom exhaust fan? Provide key parameters: airflow (CFM/m³/h), noise level (dB), power supply (AC/DC), size, and any certifications required (CE, UKCA, RoHS). Send your inquiry to Aosun via email (alan.h@elmakelectrical.com) or WhatsApp (+8618606589361).
2. Confirm Sample Parameters
   A qualified supplier like Aosun will review your specs and recommend the most suitable model from their 100+ product portfolio. They will provide a product data sheet, CAD drawing, and a quotation for the sample. Expect a detailed discussion on motor type (shaded pole or AC), blade material (aluminum or plastic), and mounting dimensions.
3. Pay Sample Fees
   Sample fees are typically invoiced separately. Aosun offers flexible policies: for standard models, a modest sample fee is charged (often refundable upon bulk order). Customized samples may require a one-time tooling fee. Payment via T/T or PayPal is accepted.
4. Receive and Inspect the Sample
   Once payment is confirmed, Aosun dispatches the sample within 3–7 working days via international courier (DHL/FedEx). After receipt, proceed with a thorough inspection as outlined in the next section.

🔍 Pro tip: Request a video of the sample being tested in Aosun’s air volume detection room (view facility) for transparent verification.

3. Understanding Sample Policies – What Every Buyer Should Know

• Free Samples vs. Paid Samples
  Most serious manufacturers, including Aosun, offer free samples for standard models only if the buyer covers shipping. Customized samples (e.g., wall mounted exhaust fan with special voltage) require a sample fee which is fully deductible from the first mass-production order.
• Sample Fee Deduction
  Aosun provides a clear policy: sample fees for standard models (non-custom) can be refunded when the buyer places an initial bulk order of 500+ units. Tooling costs for custom molds are negotiated separately but often amortized over the first order.
• Sample Delivery Lead Time
  For in-stock models (such as popular toilet exhaust fan or ventilation exhaust fan), samples are dispatched within 2–3 working days. For bespoke attic exhaust fan or garage exhaust fan configurations, allow 10–15 working days for production. Aosun’s 8 production lines ensure rapid turnaround.

4. Transition Strategy – From Sample to Bulk Order with Confidence

Once the sample passes your verification, the next step is scaling. Aosun emphasizes two critical factors for successful conversion:

• Sample vs. Mass Production Consistency
  Unlike some suppliers who produce “golden samples” and cut corners in volume, Aosun guarantees identical quality by using the same molds, raw materials, and automated assembly lines for both samples and bulk batches. Each unit goes through the same performance tests (airflow, noise, endurance) with documented traceability. This is validated by their CE (LVD/EMC) certifications — see certificates EMC and VOC.
• Rapid Bulk Delivery
  With a production capacity of over 1 million units annually and 8 automated lines, Aosun can fulfill orders of 5,000–50,000 units within 25–40 days. Their flexible scheduling accommodates OEM/ODM requirements for bathroom light exhaust fan or kitchen exhaust fan with minimal lead time.
