Questions we get asked

When should the pre-shipment inspection happen?
When at least 80% of the order is produced and packed. Earlier and you cannot sample the finished goods; later and the factory will push to ship before fixes.
What happens if the inspection fails?
We send the defect list to the factory, agree on rework or replacement, and re-inspect. You hold the balance payment until it passes.
Do you inspect outside Guangdong and Zhejiang?
Yes, we inspect anywhere in China: Jiangsu, Fujian, Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Sichuan and every other province. Inspection is also available as a standalone service for orders you placed without us.
