Inspect visible workmanship

Look for loose threads, skipped stitches, stains, holes, broken zippers, twisted seams, uneven hems and incorrect labels.

Review packing details

Check size stickers, barcodes, hang tags, care labels, poly bags, carton marks and carton quantity before shipment.

Record issues clearly

When defects are found, take photos and note quantity, severity and repair options. Clear records help the factory correct problems quickly.
