How many times have you received a sample that was nothing like the photo?

• Save the unnecessary sample charges and courier expenses by using our local offices to qualify the sample first.
• Typically we negotiate with the supplier to send us the sample free of charge for 24 hours. 
• After you review our feedback and pictures you can purchase the ones you really require.

Sourcing from a sample can be difficult if you don’t have a physical office in China and especially if you have only one original sample. By using Launchpad as your office, you can:

• Receive all counter samples to your Launchpad office for an in house quality check.
• Choose final counter samples to be sent to you in one courier.

Benefit from our better prices due to our combined volume. Most inspection companies offer a fixed man day charge. Ours is flexible because we understand the skill set required for a pre shipment inspection significantly varies from a supervised loading inspection. Pay less for supervised loading and more for a pre shipment inspection.

If in the unfortunate event a defect or critical problem is identified, our team mediate directly with your suppliers to understand the problem thoroughly, to assess and quantify the damage and to provide workable solutions. In the case there is no solution, our team negotiate discounts on your behalf. Typically, we have achieved 10 – 30% discounts for our customers.

Receive a compliance report within 24 – 48 hours. Through our network of agents in SGS, Intertek, etc we get you the latest and most updated regulation regarding the article of import. We recommend this information to be gathered before sourcing to better target and qualify suppliers. 

The expenses of testing can be higher than your total purchase amount. If you are testing your business idea and want to be frugal then source suppliers who already have standard test reports in place. If you pick up the essentials package from Launchpad then you benefit from our sourcing and compliance to shipment services which ensure your inventory arrives as expected.
