Billions Of Dollars have been lost by Inferior Quality products or wrong product. The biggest culprit is Assumption while giving the product detailing to your supplier.

Travel expenses might also apply, on top of the cost of labor, if the factory is far away from the closest importer. Let’s take 3 typical examples:
(Exact costs are quoted on a case-by-case basis, depending on transportation options available. Contact us at Sofeast if you’d like to discuss quality inspections now.)
You Don’t need to worry our inspection officer would share as many pictures & videos as possible. We shall also make sure every detail is shared with you in case you still need further check you can raise an immediate request. We shall ask the officer to stay back for further clarifications.
There is a 0.0001% chance of such an event. However, in such an unlikely case, we shall help you negotiate or claim damages from the factory. Incase the Damages are occurred due to manufacturing defect then factory is liable to get the goods replaced, however, if the damage is due to transit or mishandling of goods by shipping company then the best suggestion is to take 100% Damage insurance before shipping the goods to safeguard such unlikely events.
Yes, this is a very common situation. When our officer inspects the goods and found that they are not as per your specification and there is a dispute with the supplier for such agreement. There is a scope of renegotiation with the supplier. Or you could hire a legal team to take this further.

Ask the supplier to send you a few samples taken from production.

2. A Detailed Product Description and Specification, with photos and maybe a short video.
3. Description of the packing & packaging specifications
4. Any Quality Standard Indicators – what you can/can’t accept must be specified
5. A sample in hand can help
