What details do we need to provide to DocShipper ?
We will need several details to be able to determine how much will cost your inspection :
- Characteristics of the product(s)
- Purchase invoice
- Amount
- Product specification
- Supplier details
- Supplier's address
- Desired inspection date
Important note : Control 100% of your production is not mandatory (it is not even recommended). Indeed, it will be much more economic, quick and (almost) just as reliable to control just a part of the cargo, for example 10% of the units.
How to book an inspection?
In order not to be caught off guard (which can also cause delays and / or storage costs), it is important to anticipate the future inspection. It is recommended that you request an inspection quote at least 14 days before your products leave the factory.
Quality Control – How long do it take to inspect?
It is possible that you need several quality controls in order to certify if your products are not defective. This is for example the case for luxury goods with high value added. But keep in mind that only one inspection is normally sufficient.
To go further, inspection times vary according to 2 factors:
- The quality of the inspection: naturally, certain products (for example electronic) require much more attention to control the quality.
- The number of units to be checked: finally, the number of products is also a determining factor in processing times.
Important note : Anyway, except large orders (more than 10,000 units), we control your products in less than 2 days (sometimes 3 days if the product is complex).
When do I need to pay the inspection?
The inspection is payable before the visit of our inspection team.
