The sample costs at 2x production price, the 50\/50 payment terms, and Ex-Works shipping are all acceptable to us.Before giving our final confirmation, we would kindly ask you to clarify two points:1. Development Fees:Could you please provide the development fee for the two pilot styles (High-Waist Leggings and Sports Bra), so we can plan our budget accordingly? Please also let us know whether any development and sampling costs will be credited towards the bulk production order.2. Adjustments:Could you please clarify what is meant by \"adjustments can only be made after placing the final order\"? It is important for us that we can review the samples, provide feedback, and request any necessary adjustments before bulk production begins.In addition, we would like to order one sample of our Oversized T-Shirt (tech pack attached). Although the T-shirt is not part of this initial production run, we would like to evaluate the quality, fit, and workmanship for a future collection.
