Flexible quality inspection support for overseas buyers sourcing furniture, FF&E, lighting, building materials, custom products and project supplies from China. E-REACHING offers one-time inspection, loading supervision, factory audit and project-based QC management.
For single inspection requests, standalone inspection is normally charged by man-day. One man-day means one inspector working on site for up to 8 hours.
Suitable for checking finished furniture, FF&E, lighting, building materials and custom project products before shipment.
Suitable for checking packaging condition and loading process before the goods leave the supplier or warehouse.
Suitable for checking production progress, materials, workmanship and visible risks before final completion.
Suitable when every unit needs to be checked, especially for high-value, small-batch, high-risk or customized products.
Suitable for a basic supplier visit, factory environment check, showroom review and simple production capability observation.
Suitable for deeper supplier evaluation, production capability review, management checking and risk assessment.
For projects involving multiple suppliers, several production stages, repeated inspections or multiple shipment batches, charging every inspection separately may not be the most cost-effective option.
E-REACHING can provide a project-based QC management plan. The fee is usually calculated as a percentage of the inspected product value, with an agreed inspection plan and clear service scope.
The final quotation depends on product type, order value, supplier locations, inspection frequency, reporting requirements and project complexity.
E-REACHING’s quality control service helps buyers identify visible quality risks before shipment, including obvious defects, quantity problems, packaging issues, color differences, material inconsistencies, workmanship problems and loading risks.
However, our inspection service does not replace supplier warranty, supplier legal responsibility, after-sales obligation, third-party laboratory testing, product certification or official compliance testing. The supplier remains responsible for product quality, product warranty and contractual obligations.
For one-time inspection, the minimum charge is one man-day. Even if the inspection takes less than a full day, the minimum inspection fee still applies.
For standalone QC inspection service, the inspection fee should be paid before the inspection date. Long-term clients may discuss monthly settlement separately.
Inspection arrangement starts after the inspection scope, factory location and payment are confirmed.
Standard inspection focuses on visible product condition, order details, packaging, quantity and agreed key checkpoints. The exact inspection scope depends on product type and buyer requirements.
Some costs depend on factory location, timing, product complexity and inspection requirements. We will confirm these costs before arranging the inspection.
For inspections outside Foshan or selected Guangzhou areas, transportation, accommodation, cross-city travel or other actual travel costs may be charged separately.
One man-day includes up to 8 hours on site. Overtime caused by factory delay, late loading or extended checking will be charged at RMB 200 / hour.
For inspection requests within 24–48 hours, an urgent arrangement surcharge of 20%–30% may apply depending on inspector availability and factory location.
If the inspection is cancelled less than 24 hours before the scheduled time, 50% of the inspection fee may be charged. If the inspector has already arrived at the factory, the full inspection fee will be charged.
A clear inspection arrangement helps avoid wasted time, unclear standards and factory-side misunderstanding.
