Desperately seeking Start up advice...

Hi Everyone,
I created a new brand of cosmetic, I found a manufacturer that will do a 1000 unit run but wants to charge me $4. per unit, the shelf cost is $4. It is a small pocket size 20ml cosmetic spray, boxed.
I am worried about the quality of the sample run, how do I address this considering manufacturer costs of $4000 it would be a costly mistake if the quality was not up to scratch, what is the normal procedure for a sample run, I have zero experience..
My thinking is I need the sample run to approach the buyers to get the orders, is this the correct procedure?
As you can see any advice appreciated...
I would also consider a business partner that has experience in this field, but do not know where to start in looking?

Personally, I wouldn't take that sort of risk unless that business had a strong internet presence with lots of positive reviews.
But if they don't. Ask them for a sample before committing to the order. If they aren't willing to do that and they don't have any reviews/references, I wouldn't take the risk.
