Outsourcing the manufacturing of a product is a strategy that has always been used and will continue to be used because it translates into reduced costs, not having to make large investments in materials, or recruiting human resources.
However, these benefits are associated with risks and these risks are reflected in defective products that do not comply with the specifications.
To avoid being stuck with products you can't sell, use DocShipper's quality control service. We'll send experts on-site, no matter where the products are manufactured, to make sure your specifications are met. Contact us to receive a free quote in less than 24 hours.

What further details do I need to provide?
Once you fill out the form, we will contact you to obtain the following information:
- Characteristics of the product(s)
- Quantity
- Product Specifications
- The supplier's coordinates
- The supplier's address
- Inspection date preferred
Inspections are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. It is critical to anticipate future inspections in order to avoid being caught off guard (which could result in delays and/or storage costs).
It is recommended that you request an inspection plan at least 14 days prior to the shipment of your factory products.
Quality Control: how much time will it take?
It's possible that multiple quality controls are required to ensure that your products aren't defective. However, a single quality control check by a professional team like DocShipper is usually sufficient. Inspection times vary on two factors:
- The inspection of quality: Naturally, certain products (for example electronics) require a lot more attention when it comes to quality control. The number of units to be monitored is a factor that influences processing times (more units, more time needed).
- Suppliers are not always professional, therefore it is important to carry out quality control of the products to minimize their risks. A small mistake on your part can negatively impact the whole supply chain! If quality control is not carried out properly, it's possible that 30% of goods are defective. As you might expect, quality control prior to product distribution (i.e., just after manufacture) is critical. Naturally, the higher the value of your product, the more critical quality control will become.

FAQ | Quality control services when outsourcing your product
What is the product and service quality like?
The quality of a product or service refers to how well made the product or service meets the client's expectations. Quality refers to the commodities or overall service provided. DocShipper provides high quality service and can help you find suppliers that manufacture high quality products.
What exactly is the quality control services industry?
The definition of quality control is the measurement of actual quality and the identification of flaws in a given program. Our quality control service consists of four main steps: the request for service, the agreement for service, the provision of service, and the completion of the provision of service, all of which are followed by a test report.
How do you calculate the cost of a quality control?
There are 2 factors: Firstly, the number of pieces to inspect (or the percentage of stock). Secondly, the depth of the inspection (just aesthetically, functionality, etc.).
Why is it necessary to conduct quality control?
When you buy a shipment of a specific value (above $50.000 USD) and you don't have a long-term relationship with your supplier, it's a good idea to conduct a quality check. In addition to the assurance guarantee, it also allows for the certification of product conformity and quality assurance.
