Protect Your Orders with Formalized Final Inspection Protocols
Prevent post-payment nightmares by formalizing final inspections.
It’s common to release the remaining 70% payment after final QC, but what if the factory rushes that inspection or pressures your team to skip details?
One workaround is to include a clear inspection protocol in the purchase order.
State who conducts it, how many samples are checked, and the acceptable defect rate.
Then, schedule the inspection at least one business day before the shipment date, giving you time to validate the results.
By having a set protocol, you reduce the chance of last-minute chaos and avoid paying for goods that don’t meet required specifications.
