Does the bulk match the sample? Model and quantity correct? Any issues with labels, appearance or packaging? We verify before shipment — video inspection or on-site — so you don't find out only after the goods land.
When sourcing from China, many problems are only discovered after the goods arrive — wrong model, short quantity, scuffed surfaces, wrong labels, packaging that won't survive shipping. By then, freight cost and time are already gone. Pre-shipment inspection means checking each item before the goods leave the Chinese factory — catching problems before shipment. Video inspection or on-site, your call on the depth.
Inspection isn't "take a photo and call it done." Every item below has a defined scope — what we check, how we check it, what problems we look for.
| Item | What we check |
|---|---|
| Model & specifications | Item by item, we verify the actual model, spec and parameters against the order / contract — paying special attention to similar models that are easy to confuse. |
| Quantity | Count the actual quantity and check that accessories are complete — flagging shortages, over-shipments and wrong items. |
| Appearance & workmanship | Check for dents, scratches, deformation and dirt; assess solder joints, wiring and assembly workmanship. |
| Labels & markings | Verify nameplate, brand mark, rating label and serial number — correct, legible and matching the actual unit (catching refurbished and counterfeit-labeled goods). |
| Basic function | Where feasible, run basic power-on / actuation tests to confirm core functions work (depending on the product type). |
| Certification markings | Verify the on-product certification markings (CE/UL/CCC etc.) are complete and consistent with the documentation. |
| Packaging & protection | Check that packaging is sturdy, moisture- and shock-resistant, and suitable for long-distance sea freight; shipping marks and labels correct — preventing in-transit damage. |
Video inspection: we or the supplier are on site, and walk you through each item over live video — low cost, fast, suitable for routine orders. On-site inspection: we send someone to the factory for a more thorough and rigorous check and test — suitable for large, critical or higher-risk orders. We'll recommend which mode fits your situation.
Send us the order / contract, model list and supplier info — and tell us what you want to focus on (what you're most worried about).
Before shipment, we arrange video or on-site inspection and work through model, quantity, appearance, labels, function and packaging item by item.
An inspection report with photos / video. If issues are found, we coordinate rework or correction with the supplier — and only release shipment once it's confirmed clean.
