Hi, I recently ordered Caesarstone samples and they sent me a mockup of the countertop on a 7"x2.5"x1/8" rigid card, and a 18"x24" printed sheet that is a larger representation of the countertop. I think this is a neat idea and would have been quite helpful, but the colors on the card and the sheet aren't same (and we all know how important the undertones are!) It also costs $30 for shipping which I think is absolutely ridiculous - it probably weighs around 1lbs and can go in a medium envelope.

The Black Tempal was greenish on the printer paper, Cloudburst Concrete purplish, Airy Concrete greenish and the Empire was the closest of them all, with a little purple (the veins on Empire White is gorgeous, btw).

Anybody have a better experience with the samples?
