Short answer
Record the issue, mark the exact photo or detail, separate must-fix points from preferences, ask the supplier what is feasible, then decide whether to revise, compare another supplier, or stop.
Guide

Revision structure
- Give the sample a clear ID.
- List visible issues with photos.
- Separate critical issues from nice-to-have changes.
- Confirm whether the supplier can revise the sample.
- Ask for cost, lead time, and any production impact.
