Quality agreed before production

Pin the quality down before the line starts.

We turn "make it like the sample" into a signed, bilingual quality and sales agreement: every critical part specified, every tolerance negotiated with the factory, and an agreed reject rate both sides can actually live with. $549 flat.

Quality & Sales Agreement

Flat$549one product, one factory

Most disputes with Chinese factories are not fraud. They are two sides holding a different picture of what "good" means. The buyer says the finish should be smooth; the factory says it is smooth. Nobody wrote down the tolerance, the material grade, the coating thickness, or how many defective units in a thousand are acceptable — so at inspection there is nothing objective to point at.

We sit between you and the factory before production. We break your product down into its quality-critical parts, ask the factory what it can genuinely hold in production, and negotiate a middle ground that is manufacturable rather than aspirational. Then we write it into a bilingual quality and sales agreement both sides sign — with AQL levels, tolerances, materials, packaging and the consequences if a batch fails.

Typically 7–10 business days, depending on how quickly the factory responds. Additional SKUs $199 each.

What you get

A document your inspector can actually test against.

  • Product broken down into quality-critical parts and features
  • Materials, finishes and components named to grade, not description
  • Tolerances checked against what the factory can hold in real production
  • Agreed AQL levels and reject rates (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4) per defect class
  • Golden-sample and approval-sample procedure written in
  • Packaging, labelling, carton and drop-test requirements
  • Inspection rights, rework, replacement and hold-payment terms
  • Bilingual EN / 简体 document, Chinese version controlling
  • Mandarin negotiation with the factory, plus one round of revisions
How it works

Four steps, before a single unit is made.

1 · We take your product apart on paper

Drawings, samples, photos, your past complaints. We list every feature that can go wrong and rank it critical, major or minor.

2 · We ask the factory what it can really hold

In Mandarin, engineer to engineer. Which tolerances are routine, which need tooling changes, which they are quietly guessing at.

3 · We negotiate a manufacturable middle ground

A spec no factory can hit is worse than no spec — it gets ignored. We land on numbers both sides will still respect at month three.

4 · We draft and both sides sign

Bilingual agreement, chopped by the factory, attached to your purchase order. Your inspector then has something objective to test against.

Questions

Quality agreement FAQ

How is this different from your Chinese-law contract?

The contract governs the commercial deal — entity, payment, jurisdiction, IP. The quality agreement governs the product — materials, tolerances, AQL, packaging, what happens when a batch fails. Most buyers eventually want both, and they attach to each other cleanly. Ordered together we take $150 off the pair.

Do I need drawings or a technical file?

Helpful, not required. A physical sample, clear photos and a list of what has gone wrong before is usually enough for us to build the first draft. If you have CAD or a spec sheet, we work from that instead.

What if the factory refuses to sign?

That is useful information, and it is better learned now than after a deposit. In practice most factories sign once the numbers are realistic — the resistance is nearly always to specs that were never achievable. If they still refuse, you have a clear reason to look elsewhere.

Can you do this for a product already in production?

Yes, and it is common after a bad batch. We use your rejected units as the evidence base and rebuild the spec around what actually failed.

Does it include an inspection?

No — the agreement is the standard, the inspection is the test. Book a pre-shipment or during-production inspection at $268 per man-day and we check the goods against the agreement we wrote.

How many SKUs does $549 cover?

One product with one factory. Additional SKUs from the same factory are $199 each, since much of the negotiation carries over.
