Money-Saving Tips
- Combine valerian with other oils you are evaluating into one parcel to share freight
- Use a comparison kit (steam vs CO₂, or officinalis vs jatamansi) to evaluate in one shipment
- For regular projects, we can include samples in the next production shipment at no extra freight
- Freight paid on samples is credited against your first production order
Notes
- Samples are shipped as non-dangerous goods (valerian oil is not Class 3 flammable)
- Customs duties on samples vary by country; we mark parcels accurately to minimise issues
- If you need the sample urgently, choose the priority express option and confirm by email
Ask your sales contact for a freight quote to your destination before ordering samples.
