Task
An online store of components for robotics and DIY electronics contacted us with a request: to deliver a batch of fragile components (circuit boards, sensors, microcontrollers) weighing 350 kg from Shenzhen to Moscow.
Challenge
The client found a new supplier but doubted the assembly quality of the boards and the reliability of the packaging. Sending funds blindly was risky, as this was not a test batch, but a full-scale order worth almost 4 million rubles. In addition, bare microcircuits are easily damaged in transit if the factory packs them in thin cardboard boxes, which often happens when shipping LCL cargo.
TransGID Solution
We contacted the manufacturer and, before the invoice was paid, sent our inspector to the factory. Our specialist inspected the batch for compliance with declared specifications, prepared a detailed photo and video report for each board type, and verified the supplier's documents.
Our agents and surveyors inspect supplier factories and product quality in China, India, and other Southeast Asian countries
After confirming the quality, we transported the goods to a consolidation warehouse. The factory packaging was indeed fragile. Our warehouse personnel completely repacked the electronics: added shock-absorbing material and placed the boxes into rigid wooden crating. The batch was dispatched to Russia via fast road transit through Kazakhstan.
Result
The client received the goods intact and free of defects in 18 days. Thanks to the pre-shipment inspection, the online store avoided purchasing defective inventory and secured a reliable partner in China, with whom they now cooperate on an ongoing basis.
