Prompted by a Facebook post from a new seller asking how to inspect every single unit before shipping, Steve explains why that instinct, while understandable, is the wrong fix. Inspections only report what already went wrong; the real work is getting the factory's production process to stop the defect at the source.
He walks through how randomized sampling actually works, why inspectors shouldn't announce visit dates, and how to negotiate with a factory once a defect rate turns up.
A practical, no-nonsense guide for sellers worried about quality control on Chinese-made products.
