What is 100% inspection, repacking, and shipping?
Your supplier delivers products (usually without final packing) to our facility, we check these products and sort out the ‘bad ones’, we pack them, and we ship them to you.
We can also kit or assemble several components together.
Some Chinese suppliers prove themselves incapable of presenting a good batch of product consistently and, in the event an inspection (performed in their factory) is failed, they never get their act together and fix the issue. Re-inspections are scheduled days (or weeks) later and fail again.
Unfortunately, you might not have the luxury of waiting that long. Many manufacturers know this and will outwait you until you can no longer wait and you instruct them to ship the goods.
We can check your products in our 100% owned subsidiary in South China, for greater control and speed. This subsidiary has a manufacturing scope, so it is able to modify products if needed.
This solution returns the most value if products are made in South China, where our facility is located, and if one of these statements are true:
- The cost of quality issues is high, and 2-5% of defective goods is not acceptable.
- The goods’ value is relatively high.
- You don’t want the supplier(s) to see the packing and/or the labeling, to hide the distribution channel, the brand, and/or the selling price. (Read more about this here).
- You want a service provider such as Sofeast to be the shipper of record in the Customs’ database.
This may take place either in our Dongguan or in our Shenzhen Free Trade Zone (FTZ) facility.
Doing this in the FTZ may make more sense in certain situations:
- You want your suppliers to be able to process the export documentation as soon as they deliver the goods to us (and claim their VAT rebate earlier).
- You want us to get parts from another country, kit them together with your China-made parts, and pack & ship it all to you.
We will advise which facility is the better option for you after you request a quotation using the button on this page.
We send you QC inspection reports, and a project manager sends you emails about progress and difficulties (if any).
Our 3PL provides you with a lot of piece of mind and can handle the fulfillment of your products from South China around the world. There are a number of benefits you can expect.
What does it cost?
The cost depends on the nature of the work. 100% inspection for simple products can be inexpensive, while complex products and time-consuming packing will raise our quotation.
