Most common causes of disputes and our resolutions

Specifications don't match

When the delivered product doesn't match the agreed specifications, we initiate a review process. This includes comparing the product to the original specifications and engaging with the manufacturer to address discrepancies. Our goal is to negotiate corrections, adjustments, or compensations that align with the client's interests and contractual terms.

Factory failed to deliver on time

Timely delivery is critical for e-commerce success. If a factory fails to meet the deadline, we assess the terms of the contract and the impact of the delay on our client's business. We then work towards a resolution that may include expedited shipping, penalty enforcement, or order prioritization to mitigate the delay's effects.

Goods have defects or quality issues

Should goods arrive with defects or fail to meet quality expectations, we facilitate a rigorous quality assessment. Based on this, we negotiate for remanufacturing, replacements, or refunds. We ensure that all quality issues are rectified in accordance with the initial agreement and to our client's satisfaction.

Factory didn't provide requested certifications post-purchase

We insist on compliance, leveraging local contacts and legal action to acquire necessary certifications.

Enforcing international trade rules

Detailed audit and compliance verification

In-depth audit and compliance verification against international trade standards.

Leveraging trade associations

Escalation through legal pressure
