Why is it difficult to make safe purchase from China ?
There are many ways to contact suppliers in China thanks to Internet and other Alibaba websites. But still, many buyers experience problems when they receive goods: wrong colours, paint spots, poor quality, etc.
It is so hard to find a good factory
And even if the factory is actually good and serious, employees can make mistakes.
What can I do ?
Well, everyone who knows China will suggest you to work with a third party agency for quality control. But big and well known agencies can’t really manage their inspectors. Many of them take money from factories in exchange of closed eyes. And even if they don’t, many inspectors actually do not really do their job properly.
Another way would be to go through trading companies. It might work if the company is specialised and can control its suppliers. We have dealt with some trading in the past. We had some good experiences and some bad. If the company is too big, we experienced the same problems of quality control. If the company is too small, they are not competitive in price and the follow-up can be messy.

Order Preparation
Did the supplier give you all the details of the products? Are their documents clear and complete? Can you get HD pictures? Are the purchasing conditions (incoterm, payment terms, etc.) clearly indicated on all the documents? Did you get technical details of the products? Is everything (all product details, production dates, quality level, etc.) clearly indicated on their PI ?
