Hi All,  I believe it is prudent to request a sample from a vendor
before making a purchase.  That way you can run all the tests you
like before making your purchase.  That's what I do.  And, if the
item you end up buying is different in any way from the sample, you
should demand a full refund, including the cost of shipping.  And,
if the vendor balks, remind them that you still have the sample that
they sent.

Musically,
