Space Samples
Space Samples was born from a company with more than 10 years of experience in the area of logistics.
All this time, we imported and marketed parts and equipment of the segment and realized the difficulty in attesting the quality of products and deciding to purchase only for photos.
We realized the high cost of maintaining a showroom in the national territory and the difficulty in managing it from another country and how this could help.
To facilitate and assist international trade, we have created in Brazil the first company in the world to offer a shared storage service for demonstration and submission of samples. We are a showcase of the industry that wants to develop the Brazilian market and besides the showroom, we can take care of all your promotion.
Our goal is to find the right local partner to develop the Brazilian market for its products. Perfect for industries and trades that are starting activities in Latin America.

FAQ
HOW THE MONTHLY COST FOR STORAGE IS CALCULATED?
As a general rule, we charge USD 100.00 per cubic meter (approximately) of space occupied in the warehouse. Depending on the material and how it is packaged, your samples may occupy more or less space. If your products are mobile phones, 1 cubic meter is enough space to store quite a large number of units. If your product is a surfboard, 1 cubic meter may be insufficient, and, in that case, you will be charged for the amount of space required to accommodate the desired number of samples. The amount of space is calculated in multiples of 1 cubic meter. Special requirements for the maintenance of samples will be charged and billed separately. For example, if you would like to make sure that the cellphones stored in our space always have the battery charged for presentation, there will be an extra cost to manage this requirement. We will always seek to accommodate the samples into the smallest possible space.
HOW THE SHIPPING OF PRODUCTS IS CHARGED?
Some of our plans include a minimum charge which includes shipping costs. In the Basic Plan up to 3 shipments per month are covered under the minimum. What is included: transfer of the samples or merchandise to the post office or carrier, packaging, billing and payments to third parties, among other logistics-related tasks. Postage costs or costs billed to us by the carrier shall ALWAYS be charged to the customer. Billing month is based on a calendar month (from the first to the last day of a given month), and not any other unit of 30 consecutive days. Customers cannot roll over non-used shipment costs from one calendar month to the next.
HOW THE INITIAL USD 100.00 REGISTRATION FEE IS APPLIED?
This amount is charged to cover initial research and consultations with the customer concerning any Brazilian legislation and/or taxation in connection with the importing of the product, tariff classification, calculation of freight costs and insurance as well as the handling of all paperwork involved in the importation of the samples, sizing of the storage area, initial setup of the storage site, among other relevant tasks. In summary, the cost for all the work needed for the preparation of an accurate proposal for the provision of services.
WHAT IF I WANT TO CANCEL THE SERVICE?
If you no longer want to keep the samples with us, the samples shall be sent back to the place of origin and the actual shipping costs involved shall be charged, including freight, taxes, insurance and handling as well as any other out-of-pocket costs. In some cases, samples may be sold at auction and the collected funds shall be returned to the customer, minus the costs involved, including, if they occur, auctioneer’s commission, bank fees and any other charges.
Why Campinas?
Campinas is one of the leading companies in Brazil, while our location, just 15 minutes from Viracopos Airport, the main airport in Brazil, assures easy access to the whole of the country. We are a one-hour drive by car from São Paulo, the main business center in Brazil. If your sample is of a size that allows for easy transport, we can arrange for presentation in São Paulo. However, for larger products such as machines, the cost of storage in São Paulo itself would be prohibitive.
CAN SPACE SAMPLES PROVIDE SERVICES TO BRAZILIAN COMPANIES?
Yes. Brazil is a huge country and companies located in other states seeking a marketing presence in the state of São Paulo can benefit from our services.
Can i deliver my samples personally?
Yes, and, in that case, there will be no import costs, only the monthly fees for the services that you contract for will be charged after we receive the samples. Let us say you brought some samples to Brazil for a fair, when the fair ends you can leave the samples with us.
