An inspection is only worth anything if it happens while you still have leverage. We inspect before the balance payment leaves your account, which is the last moment the factory has a reason to fix things.
The problem
Goods that fail after they land are your problem. Goods that fail before the balance is paid are the factory's problem. Everything about inspection timing follows from that single fact.
We agree the AQL levels, the checkpoints and what counts as a critical, major and minor defect, in writing, before production starts.
An early check catches a systemic problem while there is still time to correct the run rather than scrap it.
Random sampling against the AQL plan on finished, packed goods, with function and packaging checks.
Report with photographs within 24 hours. You decide: accept, rework, discount or reject, and we negotiate it.
Inspections are charged as a fixed fee per man-day on site, quoted before booking. Most single SKU pre-shipment inspections are a one day job. There is no percentage of order value on this service.
Batch level inspection with photo evidence is now standard on every order for clients where consistency is the brand promise rather than a nice to have.
