Product Samples
You can view a list of all Green Building Supply products that have samples available on the Green Building Supply main website by clicking here.
We carry liquid samples of paints, stains, and sealers and flooring samples of carpet, hardwood, bamboo, underlayment, and all of our other flooring.
- If samples are available for the product you are interested in, there will be a green "Order a Sample" button on the right side of the product page, below the "Add to Cart" button.
- For select lines we do also offer a Green Building Supply Sustainable Sample Box RENTAL that contains multiple samples for one low price and FREE return shipping.
- If you need help ordering samples, feel free to give us a call at 800-405-0222 during normal business hours.
- Our products are safe, but with all samples, you should always test for chemical sensitivities. Click here to learn how to test a non-toxic product for tolerance.
- We provide fast 2-3 day priority mail, and free shipping on all in stock samples.
- Interested in Overnight Shipping? We now offer that for an additional fee. Otherwise samples will ship priority mail for free.
-
Don't see all the samples you ordered?
- Don't worry. Samples that are not on hand at our warehouse will be sent to you in a separate shipment directly from the manufacturer. These may take a little longer to receive.
A sample is the only way to know what your floor is really going to look and feel like.
Flooring Sample Return and Refund Policy
- Please return all samples for a full refund of purchased samples because we need the samples for other customers- even if you don't purchase your floor from us.
Please Note: due to changing dye lots, we will only accept returns ordered up to 6 months previously.
- Unfortunately, unless it's a Sustainable Sample Box (which does include free return shipping), we do not cover the cost of shipping samples back to Green Building Supply.
- Please CALL US at 800-405-0222 during normal business hours or email customerservice@greenbuildingsupply.com to begin the return or refund process.
You can only be certain what a color or sheen will look like when you see it applied to your surface in the environment where it will be used.
- We recommend ordering samples of most products before purchasing.
Please note: not all products are available for sampling.
Also note: small sample sizes are difficult to match in lighter colors due to the tiny amounts of pigment used. - When sampling for odors, remember to conduct your test on a non-reactive material like glass or metal, and allow the product to fully dry or cure before testing. This can take up to 72 hours in some cases.
- Liquid samples are not eligible for a refund unless they are damaged or defective.
If you like your sample(s) and wish to place an order or receive an estimate including shipping, please call us at 800-405-0222 during normal business hours and speak with a trained eco advisor, or email customerservice@greenbuildingsupply.com. We can also help you with additional samples if you need them.
