The Most Common Complaint In Wholesale Buying
The sample looks soft and neat. The bulk arrives with thinner fabric, uneven stitching or different colour. If this has happened to you, you are not alone. The good news is that you can reduce the risk with a few checks.
Why It Happens
- Sample is made by the best tailor, bulk by the whole line.
- Fabric lot changes between sample and production.
- No written quality standard was agreed.
Before You Confirm The Order
- Get fabric composition and weight in writing.
- Keep the sample with you as the reference piece.
- Ask for the size chart in cm and compare it with the sample.
- Agree what happens if bulk does not match the sample.
When The Goods Arrive
| Check | How |
|---|---|
| Quantity and size mix | Count against the order sheet |
| Fabric and colour | Compare with the kept sample in daylight |
| Stitching | Check seams, hems and elastic on random pieces |
| Measurements | Measure 5 to 10 pieces per size |
Take photos and report issues quickly, within the time agreed in your order terms.
Start Small, Then Scale
Place a trial order, check consistency, and then place a bigger order. A supplier who delivers the same quality twice is worth more than one with the lowest rate.
