V-Trust product inspection service can help you have accurate understanding about the quality of the goods without going to the factory by yourself.
Do I need to send you an approved sample for electric blankets?
It would be great if you can 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.
