Vetting a supplier and receiving a batch

FREE

What to ask before paying and what to check once the boxes arrive.

Works best in Claude / ChatGPTsuppliersreceivingquality

The prompt

You buy goods. Build a supplier check and a receiving procedure.

Product: {what it is}
Supplier: {where from, how found}
Batch size: {units and value}
What you already know: {correspondence, samples}

Deliver:
1. Ten questions before paying. Production, lead times, defects, packaging, documents, what happens if they are late.
2. What to check in the sample and how: what to measure, what to pull, what to wash, what to leave for a week.
3. How to agree on defects in advance: what rate counts as normal, who pays for returns, how it is recorded.
4. Receiving: how many units to open from a batch of 100, 500, 1,000. Checking everything is impossible; checking three is pointless.
5. What to inspect, in order: contents, dimensions, function, packaging, labelling.
6. What to photograph immediately. A claim without photos taken at opening is refused almost everywhere.
7. Red flags in correspondence: dodging defect questions, rushing payment, refusing a sample, changing price after agreement.

A sample from the batch and a sample "to look at" are different things. Ask for one from the batch being shipped to you.

Anything in curly braces is yours to replace.

Example output

Before paying: "What defect rate do you consider normal, and what happens above it?" Dodging is itself an answer. Sample: fill with boiling water, leave 24 hours, then check the smell and the gasket. Receiving 500 units: open 20, from different cartons, not off the top. Photograph: carton labels, the packing layer, and every defect with a ruler in frame.
