The window before truck or container booking is your clearest opportunity to verify accessible goods while pallets can still be adjusted at the plant. Missing trims, wrong board lengths, unlabelled bundles or fragile export crating are far easier to address before dispatch.

Evidence standard: Every report distinguishes Observed on Site, Document-Supported and Supplier-Stated items. Field checks are visual/dimensional observations—not accredited ISO/IEC 17025 lab testing or statutory CE certification.

Pre-shipment Check (SS-PRE, €490 in our core area) covers 1 site, 1 order, up to 4 on-site hours and up to 5 SKUs within an agreed checklist and sampling scope. Checks typically review accessible bundle/pallet counts, SKU and batch labels, selected dimensional measurements (length, width, thickness, diagonal or hole pitch), visible surface/coating condition, edge protection and available order documents.
Before attendance, we confirm goods readiness percentage and whether pallets are open or already strapped/shrink-wrapped, because opening and repacking sealed pallets requires the supplier’s prior consent and handling crew.
Our report states the exact units and packages examined so your team knows the factual basis for releasing final payment or booking collection. A visual and dimensional field check cannot establish internal chemical, fire, thermal or mechanical strength properties—where formal AQL statistical inspection or accredited lab testing is needed, we coordinate a suitable specialist provider separately.
On-site loading observation for 1 truck or container (up to 4 hours)—recording package counts, visible packing, vehicle/container IDs, sequence and seal.
Structured 30-day remote tracking for 1 supplier and 1 purchase order—with 4 scheduled written status updates, open-items register and 1 review call.
Remote coordination of up to 3 sample SKUs from 1 Turkish supplier within a 30-day window—keeping sample labels, revisions and approvals traceable.
Inspect the structure of a SerSourcing report—including the editable template and three fictional training examples separating observations from statements.
Standard SS-PRE (€490) covers up to 4 on-site hours and up to 5 SKUs using an agreed count and sampling checklist. Piece-by-piece 100% inspection or formal statistical AQL programmes require larger time scopes or specialist inspection bodies quoted separately.
Yes, for external counts, dimensions and labels. Checking individual sheets or profiles inside sealed pallets requires the supplier’s prior agreement to open and re-strap selected packages during the visit.
We confirm readiness statements before travelling, and if the actual lot on site differs from what was stated, we document what is physically present, contact you regarding remaining on-site time and record any unready balance as an open item.
Yes. Any material discrepancy affecting an immediate payment or truck-booking decision is flagged directly as soon as identified, followed by the full structured PDF report.
No. SerSourcing reports factual observations against your checklist; formal shipment release and final payment remain exclusively your decision.
Only if minor spot checks fit before loading; otherwise, checking goods on the day the truck is already waiting leaves no time for rework. For planned coverage, combine separate attendances via Order to Shipment (PK-SHIP, €1,290).
