What you would receive on a live order
- This note, plus a folder of inspection stills and a short walk-through video of the packed lot.
- A copy of the packing list as counted, not as the factory claimed.
- The same files kept against your reference so a reorder two years later has something other than a memory to match.
Inspection is included on every order we handle — see Inspection & QC. This page is the format. Put a date on an order and this is what goes out before the vessel.
