Hi Anna!

If you're looking for pre-shipment inspections, I've worked with some of the big firms (Bureau Veritas, SGS, Intertek) but have had the best results with Qima. They offer an easy online form for creating inspection specs and provide very detailed reports.

Good luck!

Hi Anna,

We’ve been enjoying working with Asia Quality Focus. They used to be called In Touch Quality. They can do all manner of inspections and audits – including routine production spot checks or in-line. They have a specialization in softgoods, but really only do hardgoods for us at the moment so they are versatile.

You can contact the CEO directly, Oliver Knack. Please use my name and 3^rd Stone Design. He’s visited our offices in person and we likewise have been to his numerous times now. Hard working team with the right attitude and great systems.

oliver.knack@asiaqualityfocus.com

best!

Robert

I would also recommend QIMA: https://www.qima.com.  I used them for a textile inspection on mainland China.  They were on the ground in less than 48 hours.  The vendor set up was easy and all can be done on-line.
