Speaking from experience... I've contacted quite a few of these
places. Many of them will send you samples. Some are Free, some you
will be requested to pay for. Just make sure you state clearly that
you DO NOT expect to pay for Samples. Many places will just send them
to you.

The majority of samples I've received were of the lowest quality
flies, and would not sell them to anyone because I care about
potential customers. Once I find the right place to do business with,
I'll start selling, but when I do start selling, you can bet your ass
that my flies will be of Orvis / Umpaqua quality and not some crap.

Ohhh, and by the way. DO NOT SEND MONEY Until you get your
merchandise. I've heard that once some of these people receive your
money, they mysteriously get mugged while on their way to the post
office with your flies. I'm not saying that all of them are like
this, but I've heard many stories very similar to this. Guess who's
out of luck at this point!. Another thing... The flies are about
3.00 per dozen. (give take .75 cents) If you purchase 500 dozen or
so, the shipping will be another 300.00 bux. Then when the Uncle Sam
finds out that you've been doing business oversees, you'll be hit up
with an import tax.

Good luck to you, Randy. I hope I've helped at least with giving you
a few things to look out for.

Good advice, the other point to consider is not just the tying quality but
if you are paying $3.00 a dozen ask yourself what sort of hook they are tied
on.

It has often amazed me (I should note for the sake of honesty here I work
for Feather Merchants) that anglers will spend $500 on a rod, $300 on a reel
$50 on a fly rod and so on and then start to bitch and moan about a few
cents on the hook.

When you hook the fish of a lifetime on that 60 cent fly, don't let me be
the one to say "I told you so" when the cheap and nasty hook straightens!

I guess it comes down to how the written word is expressed and interpeted on
these types of forum... I'm sure you got the point :) (pardon the pun).

I don't know of anyone who complains about paying
a few cents per hook, given that in the US we are
approaching - admittedly for small quantities -
half a dollar to a dollar for many hooks, depending
on size, etc.

Nope, never meant that at all :)

The point being it is false economy to skimp on a hook given its comparative
investment to all of your other equipment and yet it is the thing that
contects you to the very thing you seek.

No, I don't understand your point, unless it's this
one (which I suspect it's not :-)

From what I have seen they all use the same poor quality hook no
matter what pattern they tye, dry, nymph, what ever. A size 18 spinner
is tyed on a cheap stout thick nymph hook.
a .28 cent fly is just that and nothing more. I tried them once and
then gave them away praying all the while that no one would remember
who they got them from :-)
