On-site services · China's toy clusters
Someone at the factory.
Before the container leaves.
Most importers do not have an office in China. We connect you with independent inspectors who live in the cluster where your factory sits — for an audit before you order, presence while it is being made, or a check before it ships.
No platform fee. You pay the inspector directly. We only match and stay in the loop.
Four things we get asked for
All four are done by people who live within driving distance of the factory — not flown in from another province.
Factory audit
Before you place the order. Real capacity, equipment, workforce, certificates, and whether the trading company you are talking to actually owns the workshop.
Production supervision
Days or weeks on site while your goods run. Daily photos, output count, and a call when something drifts from the agreed spec.
Pre-shipment inspection
AQL sampling, measurements, function test, carton and shipping marks, drop test where it applies. Done before the container is sealed.
Loading supervision
Count cartons, check marks against the packing list, photograph the container number and the seal. The cheapest insurance in the whole order.
How it works
- STEP 01
Tell us the factory and the dates
Factory name, city, what you want checked, and when. If you only have a city and a supplier's WeChat, that is enough to start.
- STEP 02
We match a local inspector
Someone based in that cluster, who has worked your category. You get their profile, day rate and availability — no name-dropping of companies they used to work for.
- STEP 03
You approve the quote
Fixed total, agreed scope. Travel is quoted separately and at cost. You pay the inspector directly; we do not add a commission.
- STEP 04
Report within 24 hours of the visit
Photos, findings, defect classification, and a clear pass / fail / re-inspect recommendation. In English, with the Chinese original where it matters.
What a report actually contains
The scope is agreed before anyone travels. These are the things buyers ask for most.
Sampling
AQL 2.5 / 4.0 by default, or your own plan. Sample size, accept / reject numbers, and every defect photographed and classified as critical, major or minor.
Measurements
Key dimensions against your spec sheet or the approved sample. Out-of-tolerance parts measured, not guessed.
Packaging & marks
Carton strength, inner packing, barcode scan, shipping marks against the packing list, and the container / seal number at loading.
Certificates, labelling and age-grading checks can be added — EN71, ASTM F963, CPSIA — but say so up front. An inspector cannot certify a lab test, and anyone who offers to is selling you paper.
Request an inspector
Tell us where and when. We reply with a matched inspector and a fixed quote, usually within one business day.
Your details are only shared with the inspector once they accept the job — and you get theirs at the same moment: name, email and phone, in writing. Confirm scope and dates by email, so there is one record of what was agreed.
Are you an inspector?
If you live near a toy cluster, know the categories made there, and have done factory audits or pre-shipment checks before, we are taking registrations. You set your own day rate; we bring the requests.
Registration is in Chinese — the people doing this work are based in China.
