PACTEC is asking for my credit card info

This is kind of a late reply but that is probably to cover shipping costs. It would seem all of the companies are beginning to notice the abuse of the free sample system. I requested the two case deal a while back and they didn't request my info back then. I actually still have one of the cases today. The other one I stepped on at night, cracked in half, and sliced my foot with.

So is pactect really free, or do they charge for shipping? Because I put the samples I wanted into the cart, and then they sent me to a payment page for the samples. I was wondering what other people's experiences were with them. Thanks.

Pactec only offers certain items for sample. If you haven't found it yet (I know it's kinda tricky) - here's the link! www.pactecenclosures.com/New-Enclosure-Products.html

I am waiting for their nice new waterproof cases to come off the production line so I can hopefully sample one (I think they only offer the new product lines for sample)

So I sent in my request to OKW, and two days later I had the enclosures I requested. Great company, good speed. I might just have to buy from them if I do anything big that I plan to sell.
