    Default Ordering Fabric or Leather Sample Swatches

    You can get fabric or leather samples at no charge from most furniture makers, simply order them through your selling dealer. They usually come quickly, in just a few days. Email is the best way (or via the Forum "Quotes and Orders" page if going through my store)

    Tips for ordering:

    1) Include your Name and Address in the request.

    I know, you're laughing, right? But out of every ten requests I get, seven will NOT have a name and address in the request. If you don't include it, then there is nowhere to mail them to. Don't assume I have your address from the forty-seven emails you sent me over the past 6 months, either. Make it easy - then I can order them!

    2) Limit yourself to 12 to 14 samples per request

    3) Keep the request short. I order them via email to the supplier as well, so I cut and paste from your request. Avoid comments in with the list, as I have to trim them out. The easier you make it, the faster I can order them for you.

    4) Include the maker/supplier name. I don't have all 10,000 available covers memorized to know which one belongs to which supplier.

    Ideally, this is what a correct request would look like, short and succinct:

    *****

    Please send samples of the following:

    Hancock & Moore

    Tiburon Saddle
    Weston Cane Burnished
    Capri Tobacco
    Atticus Sable
    Kip Wheat
    Document Latte
    Tuscany Harness
