Quick Answer

How to Check Clothing Quality Before Shipping (Before You Pay the Balance)

September 07, 2026 · DONGFAN Editorial Team

Check the three things that decide 90% of quality disputes before you release the balance: measurement against the approved spec, shade against the signed band, and construction against the PP sample — in writing, not in a chat.

What to do next

  • Always inspect against a written standard, never against memory.
  • Pull a spread across sizes and colors, not just the top of the carton.
  • Photograph every finding and date it before you open the balance discussion.
