How to avoid receiving products with the above defects?
A: Make sure you describe what you require clearly, with a drawing whenever possible. or prepare a detail inspection checklist, Don’t leave the choice to the factory.
B: Approve a pre-production sample as a Golden Sample, make it clear that you expect production to be up to that standard. Keep a sample for you, and send one to the factory.
C: Send quality inspector to the factory to check quality. Most buyers schedule quality control after production is finished. However, you may need to know the status of production, if they manufacture correct products, then send inspector during production too. This will allow you to catch the problems early and to push the manufacturer to take corrective actions.
