FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q:How long does it take to get product?
A:Once the viability of the project is established, the average production cycle is approximately 90 days. While every project is unique, the timeline breaks down as follows: 30 days sourcing, prototype, and contracting, 30 days manufacturing and quality control, and 30 days shipping (ocean freight).
Q:Is it safe to do business with China?
A:Over our 20 years of business, Asian ProSource has developed and built safeguards into every step of the sourcing, manufacturing, and logistics process. We minimize China risk through extensive due diligence with the factories, producing and establishing standard, enforceable contracts in the local jurisdictions, and working in tandem with you to establish that every piece of product meets the inspection standards you specify.
Q:How is quality control handled?
A:This process begins early on as we collect information for the RFQ, “Request for Quotation”. Asian ProSource works with you to develop a standards list comprising all critical areas to be inspected during the QC phase of our process. These standards are also built into the contract that the factory signs and agrees upon. During the production run, our QC team will check to see that these standards have been met and will return a pass/fail report with digital photos at each point of the inspection standard representing completion of that point.
Q:Do I need to send my samples to China?
A:It is not always necessary to send your samples to China. However, in some cases the factories will need a first hand, 3D view of your product that 2D photos or drawings do not depict. Our experienced project managers will determine the best course of action based on your product and customer expectations.
Q:How much will it cost to produce prototypes?
A:Prototype and sample costs are quoted during the sourcing phase of our process. The quote we provide contains not only the price per unit, but also sample or prototype costs and sample production time as well. These prices are determined on a case-by-case basis and each factory specifies the actual cost.
