I normally say I am the buying manager for XYZ company. We are looking to add some additional products to our product line and we are interested in X(whatever specific product you are looking to purchase). Before I am authorized to do a regular order I need do a test order of 25 pieces. After we test the quality of your X we will be ordering in quantities of (100, 1,000 etc). What would be the cost including shipment to our warehouse for the sample order of 25 pieces? Also what would be the cost for future orders of Y pieces including shipping costs as well. Thanks for your time. We are looking forward to adding your product to our other successful lines.

I would recommend tweaking this to what makes you feel comfortable in regards to sample size, future order size etc.
Hey Ecom,
I've been a fan of your thread since your first post.. Thank you for all the information! No interest in joining on the Inside?
With reading this post above, I wondered... Have you ever had someone say "hey that adress is residence-based, not a warehouse? Assuming they checked google-streetview to see if you are/were lying about your company". This scenario popped up in my head, as soon as I thought about it.. I've started shipping myself and I always ship to my father-in-law's shop/warehouse.. He's always there and packages get dropped off there every week anyway..
