Quality Control
Once an order has been placed with a supplier, we take the following steps to see that only correct merchandise is shipped: We draw samples of fabric to be used and check its quality, weight, shrinkage, color fastness, etc. We call for lab-dips and obtain buyers’ approval of shades before bulk fabric is dyed. Before production is started, we obtain approval for sample and check it minutely in all respects such as size specification, workmanship, cleanliness and proper fit of the garment. We also suggest from time to time, possible improvements in production process to improve workmanship and get perfect merchandise. Our quality controllers visit factories at regular intervals, making surprise checks, to see that only the correct quality is produced and reject sub-standard and defective pieces in the production pipeline itself. When the consignment is ready, we carry out systematic inspection as suggested by our buyers. If the merchandise is found satisfactory, we issue a certificate of inspection.
Follow Up
We follow up each order in precise details from fabric to garment, to shipment stage. At each stage, progress is intimated to buyer and they are kept informed of the actual status of his orders throughout.
Shipping/Cargo Handling
Shipping documents are checked to verify their conformity to buyer’s instructions and sent well in advance to the buyer. As a policy, we insist that all our cargo must be handled only by a reputed Forwarder, so that, we get correct information well in time about exact sailing details, ETD / ETA of vessels and may also try for priority in booking and loading wherever possible. In suitable circumstances, we may arrange grouping of cargo arriving from different suppliers. This system enables the buyer to import several consignments as one lot and reduces his import cost on freight, clearing, forwarding and cargo handling. We can assist if required in negotiating and obtain special freight rates on the basis of regular turnover. This too results in reducing buyer’s cost of import.
Post Shipment Services
To avoid demurrage at destination, we collect copies of shipping documents such as B/L, AWB, Invoice, Packing list, original G.S.P., Certificate of Origin, Export Certificate etc. from all suppliers immediately after shipment and forward it to respective buyers. Should there still arise any misunderstanding or dissatisfaction in respect of any order, we actively help in finding a mutually acceptable solution to the problem.
