Goods inspection & photos
We check goods on receipt and send photos or videos according to the agreed inspection level.
About this service
Inspection reduces surprises after arrival. Depending on the agreed service, it can include counting cartons and pieces, matching colours and sizes to the order, noting visible defects, and photographing goods and packaging.
We agree in advance exactly what will be checked, because checking every piece differs from checking a random sample.

What does the quote include?

Every written quote states exactly what is included and who pays customs duties and taxes in the destination country.
FAQ
Do you check every piece?
It depends on the agreement and quantity. We set the level before starting.
Does inspection guarantee no defects?
Inspection reveals what can be observed within the agreed scope; it is not a manufacturer's quality guarantee.
