Inspection Standards Explanation

Types of Inspection Services

A. Sampling Inspection

(Opening Only 1 Item)

This inspection consists of opening only one item from the delivered goods to perform a simple check for any misdelivery.

(A) Basic Inspection Items

  • 1. Design & Specification Check: Verify consistency with the product page description (check for any mixed or incorrect items).
  • 2. Color Check: Verify any differences from the color specified in the order.
  • 3. Size Check: Compare the actual size labeling with the order sheet.
  • 4. Quantity Check: Verify that the delivered quantities match by color and size.

* Disclaimer

  • Quality Inspection of Unopened Products: Checks for dirt, damage, or sewing defects cannot be performed.
  • Color Difference Tolerance: Minor color variations caused by lighting conditions or display differences are not subject to liability.
  • Handling of Minor Differences: Small variations in inconspicuous buttons, text, or accessories are considered acceptable products.
  • Quantity discrepancies in bulk packaged items
    • ▲ OPP bag (100 sheets/roll)
    • ▲ DIY items (1000 pcs/bag)
    • ▲ Envelope (100 sheets/roll)
  • * For products sold by bag, check by number of bags
  • * A few percent error due to weight measurement is exempt
  • Restriction on sealed products: items with opening seals, etc. are only inspected by outer packaging
  • Handling of large items: assembly checks for furniture, etc. require additional time and cost (time-based inspection)

  • 2. Color difference judgment
    • Obvious color difference → Return
    • Slight differences due to lighting/photography → Acceptable
