If we get a sample request in by 3pm it will be sent out the same day on a next day service. More often than not we are let down by her majesties royal mail service.
7 days is far too long to wait for samples. I wouldnt use them on prinicpal, just for that

I have a sample box from you that I'm showing our French client at the moment. But I'm fighting my father who thinks £16/m injun is good enough for a 2m house having a 240k extension.....

i reckon our 3 dads may be conjoined triplets 
my auld fellas first question is always " how much?"
followed by "you are joking"
doing a 200k extension last year and he goes and buys 6 internal doors from howdens on special offer @£8 each with a £ 4 lock set on each one
when i said to him that really we ought to be buying £100 internal doors and putting decent butts and £20 lock sets on he boasted that i will never make a penny in business :;):
different world i suppose
anything,no matter what it is his first thought is the cost
not quality or service just cost

haha so true, fighting the same battle all the time, was arguing with my dad about reusing some crappy sand/clay/outcoming for under the concrete floors he said to be cant always do it by the book.... i said i can lol
steve gave my sister your sample box and catalogue shes projecting managing a big rebuild in essex for some rich guy who bought it off liam from the prodigy merks hall or something, so hopefully you'll be getting a call from her.
