Require standard quality inspection.

Find a very experienced supplier who can do the quality inspection, or find a third-party quality inspection company.

The very helpless phenomenon, even you go to a third-party inspection agency, there are many tricks. Some factories will bribe third-party inspection agencies even if the goods are not qualified, then third-party inspection agencies make a beautiful report for factories.

Therefore, it is best to find a supplier that has its own quality inspection team, they will pay more attention to quality. Ask them if they can provide their own inspection reports! If yes, it must be one of your qualified suppliers.

Standard aftersales claim policy.

Ask them if they have an after-sales claims policy, how do they compensate for quality problems.
