How to Order Samples?

Sample ordering guide

Use this page to choose cork flooring samples before buying full boxes from Cancork. Samples help compare color, finish, texture, and room lighting before the final order.

  • Start with small samples: compare color, texture, finish, and lighting before buying full boxes.
  • Use a Large Sample for finalists: confirm the best choices when a small swatch is not enough.
  • Check shipping and credit: If a larger sample order has a sample or shipping fee, contact Cancork before your full flooring order so the team can confirm any available sample credit.

How sample ordering works

  1. Choose Small Sample or Large Sample here, or open a product page for its available sample options.
  2. Small samples are free of charge, while Large Sample pieces are $20 each.
  3. Cancork offers free shipping for up to 2 samples by letter mail.
  4. Orders over 2 samples, Large Sample pieces, or heavier sample sets ship by UPS or Canada Post with shipping shown at checkout.
  5. Contact Cancork before your full flooring order so the team can confirm any available sample credit.

UPS or Canada Post is used when the sample order is too large for letter mail or needs parcel tracking.

Why Order a Sample First?

Cork flooring changes with lighting, nearby cabinets, wall color, furniture, and the size of the area being covered. Samples let you compare the real surface before ordering full cartons.

  • View each sample in daylight and evening light.
  • Compare the sample beside cabinets, trim, furniture, tile, and wall color.
  • Check whether floating cork, glue-down cork, or underlayment fits the room.

Tips for Choosing the Right Sample

Pick a focused shortlist instead of ordering every color. Include one lighter option, one warmer or darker option, and the design you expect to buy. Then use Cancork support if the project needs a larger comparison set.

Order the right sample set before choosing full boxes

Start narrow, compare in the real room, then move from samples to a product shortlist with shipping, installation type, and square footage confirmed.

Choose small samples first Cancork offers free shipping for up to 2 samples by letter mail. Orders over 2 samples, Large Sample pieces, or heavier sample sets ship by UPS or Canada Post with shipping shown at checkout. Add a Large Sample for finalists Use a larger piece when color variation, printed texture, or room lighting needs a better real-world check. Move from samples to full boxes Compare the approved sample with room size, waste, underlayment, adhesive, trims, and delivery timing. Contact Cancork If a larger sample order has a sample or shipping fee, contact Cancork before your full flooring order so the team can confirm any available sample credit.
