Normally the customer would apply for Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) for the goods before any shipment. This takes place when the merchandise is 100% completed, packed and ready for shipment. Our inspectors draw a random sample of finished products.  The samples are drawn based on a statistical sampling method, most commonly known as ANSI/ASQCE1.4, MIL-STD-105E, BS6001 and etc. We check QUANTITY, MATERIAL, WORKMANSHIP, COLOR, SIZE SPECIFICATIONS, FUNCTION, SHIPPING MARK AND PACKING DETAILS, all with a concern to meet the contract, Purchase Order, confirmed samples or specifications.

After inspection, we will issue our formal inspection report to customer in the next working day together with some digital photos taken during on-site inspection. After reviewing our inspection reports, customer will make the decision whether the goods can be shipped or not.

AOD has three branch offices along China’s industrial coastline where most of the manufacturers are mainly located. We will use the services of the closet branch office to the factory to be inspected to save time and your money. Our offices are located in:

      Guangzhou in Guangdong Province
      Shanghai
      Hong Kong

We will need the following information:

    The product description in details
    The total quantity (including how many items)
    The location of the factory (which city is the closest?)

We may be able to quote the exact cost immediately for you since the number of man-days we need depends on the quantity we check.
