FAQ
Questions people ask first.
What does an inspection cover?
It depends on the type, but a product inspection typically checks quantity, workmanship and visible defects, your specification (size, colour, materials), and packaging and labelling. Units are sampled to AQL standards unless you book a full inspection. Tell us anything specific you want checked and we will add it to the brief.
How fast can it happen?
Inspections can usually be arranged within about 3 working days. If your shipping date is close, say so in your enquiry.
What does the report look like?
A detailed report in English with photos of what the inspector found, the checks carried out and a clear overall result.
Who pays, and who does the inspector work for?
You pay WUXI the fixed price in pounds. The inspector is an independent third party, not connected to the factory, and the report is written for you.
What happens if the goods fail?
You find out before the goods leave the factory, with photos as evidence. You can ask the supplier to rework or replace, renegotiate, or hold the shipment. A re-inspection can be booked once the issues are fixed.
Do I have to source through WUXI to book an inspection?
No. You can book an inspection for your own supplier anywhere in mainland China.
