I can't answer your EXACT question, but I do know SEVERAL companies that
send mouthpieces, barrels and even clarinets, 3 or more at a time, having
obtained a credit card number and a verbal promise that the customer will
actually purchase one (or more) of the 3 (or more) sent out and return the
remainder within 10 days. The largest company that does this is Woodwind
Brasswind (formerly Woodwind World).

I personally find this policy VERY helpful to my students.
