Wigs Quality Control: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why do I need product inspections for wigs?
If you are worried about or have experienced problems such as poor quality, incorrect shipments, or wrong packaging for goods imported from Asia, product inspection services are your solution. V-Trust product inspection service can help you have an accurate understanding of the quality of the goods without going to the factory by yourself.
Do I need to send you an approved sample for wigs?
It would be great if you could send the approved sample to V-Trust before the inspection for reference. Compared with product photos or specification documents, a real product sample allows V-Trust engineers to do a more thorough comparison check.
How many days in advance should I book the inspection?
Though sometimes it's possible to book next-day inspections for many manufacturing clusters where V-Trust has a large team of full-time inspectors, we recommend booking with us at least three days in advance. Early booking is important for appropriate scheduling and good preparation before the inspection.
Who will I be in contact with throughout the whole process?
There will be one dedicated account manager who will be assigned as your main contact point at V-Trust. You will receive prompt responses whenever you have any questions regarding the inspection arrangement.
How long does it take to know the inspection result?
The official report, reviewed and signed by an authorized V-Trust technical manager, will be available within 24 hours after each inspection. Same day report is available if you would like to know about the inspection findings on the same day. V-Trust has the highest same day report rate in the inspection industry.
