Wizards of Ecom #071-Best Practices for Scheduling a Pre-Shipment Inspection and What to do if it Fails
Quality defines the product of your business, but what makes a product of good quality? What if your products are manufactured on different country? This is where inspection agencies like V Trust comes to rescue.
Because quality inspections adds value to your product, you would not want your product to suffer poor-quality for not being inspected. Learn from my favorite inspection agency the importance of inspections, when to schedule inspections and what to do when a product fails after inspection.
