Frequently asked questions

How much does CloudSpects inspection cost? +

From $169 USD per man-day for PSI, DPI, factory audits, container loading, and Amazon FBA checks in most major hubs. Travel in covered cities is included. Remote or multi-factory scopes are quoted before you confirm. See pricing.

What is PSI (pre-shipment inspection)? +

PSI is the final check on finished goods before shipment. An independent inspector samples by AQL, checks workmanship, quantity, packaging, and labels, then sends an English report so you can approve or hold before final payment.

What is the difference between PSI and DPI? +

PSI runs after production is complete. DPI runs mid-production (often ~20 - 0% complete) to catch issues earlier. Both are from $169/man-day. Many sellers use DPI on new factories/SKUs and PSI before shipment.

How long does inspection take, and when is the report ready? +

Most bookings are one man-day on site. English reports are typically within about 24 hours of the visit—not a hard guarantee when scope expands (extra SKUs, special tests, or remote sites).

Do you inspect for Amazon FBA specifically? +

Yes. We can include FNSKU scans, carton marks, poly-bag / suffocation warnings, quantity, and workmanship on your checklist. We also support non-Amazon importers. Start with Amazon FBA inspection.

What is AQL, and which plan do you use by default? +

AQL sets how many defects are allowed in a sample. Default is ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 General Level II, often AQL 2.5 for major defects, unless your PO says otherwise. Try the free AQL calculator.

Where do you inspect? How do US / EU / Australia buyers coordinate? +

On-site work is in mainland China (38+ cities, 280+ inspectors). Clients book in English from anywhere. Our Santa Monica office helps North American hours; reports support remote pass/fail decisions.

Are inspectors independent of the factory? +

Yes. Inspectors are third-party—not employed by your supplier and not paid based on pass/fail.

What languages are reports in? +

Standard delivery is English. Chinese support is available for supplier-side communication when needed.

Is CloudSpects only for Amazon sellers? +

No. We work with importers, brands, and ecommerce teams who need QC at China factories—FBA is one channel among many (3PL, retail, DTC).

How do I book an inspection? +

Use the contact form, email [email protected], or WhatsApp. Share factory city, product/SKU, quantity, and target date—we typically reply within two hours on business days. New buyers: register & order guide.
