Claim and evidence boundary
AQL selects how many units to inspect. It does not define the product specification, defect classes or acceptable workmanship.
Any public claim should identify the represented product, material or facility, its scope, the evidence holder and the applicable date.
Buyer questions
Does AQL 2.5 define garment quality?
No. The sampling plan must be paired with the approved specification and clear critical, major and minor defect definitions.
What should be ready before inspection?
Provide the current specification, approved sample identity, quantity breakdown, measurement tolerances and workmanship criteria.
What happens if an order has a quality issue?
Contact MOTIONFORM with the order reference and clear photos. We review the reported issue against the approved sample and specification, then agree the corrective action in writing.
The useful starting point is not simply “the quality is wrong.” Identify the style, color, size, affected lot and the condition that differs from the approved reference. State how many units were checked and how many showed the issue; keep observed findings separate from an estimate for the whole order. Retain representative pieces so both sides can review the same evidence.
From the first report to a recorded resolution
| Stage | What the buyer provides | What the review should establish |
|---|---|---|
| Report | Order and lot references; checked and affected quantities; photographs and measurements. | Which shipped goods are affected, what was observed and which approved requirement is involved. |
| Review | Approved sample identity, specification revision, measurement method and delivery condition. | Whether the issue is workmanship, specification mismatch, an unapproved change, transit damage or a separate safety concern. |
| Agree the action | Requested outcome and any local sorting or handling proposal. | The agreed remedy, quantities, responsibility for costs and freight, handling instructions and next update. |
| Close the issue | Confirmation of the agreed disposition and any remaining affected pieces. | Correction evidence, acceptance of the action and a recorded change to the next production or inspection plan. |
Possible actions include sorting, rework, replacement, credit or refund, depending on the verified issue and the order agreement. Confirm the applicable option, amount or quantity, and cost responsibility before acting. Do not discard, alter or return all affected goods before agreeing the review and handling instructions.
A suspected safety or regulatory problem needs a separate escalation with the responsible compliance team; do not treat it as an ordinary appearance complaint. Preserve the product and shipment records needed for that review.
How is the same issue prevented on a repeat order?
Close the loop in the product records. An agreed correction may change a measurement tolerance, workmanship reference, component, packing instruction or inspection checkpoint. Record the approved revision and connect it to the next pre-production review, rather than relying on a message from the previous shipment.
For an issue-report checklist, read the after-delivery section of our AQL guide. For changes to the next lot, use the reorder and change-control service. Send the order reference through the contact form to start a quality review.
Further buyer answers
What should I do if bulk garments differ from the approved sample?
Send MOTIONFORM the order reference, sample identity and a clear record of the difference. Include photos, measurements, checked and affected quantities, and the lot or carton references. Keep representative garments for review. We compare the finding with the approved specification and discuss the corrective action in writing, rather than deciding responsibility from an isolated photograph.
Should I return faulty garments before the quality review?
No; first agree the review and handling instructions with MOTIONFORM. Retain representative pieces, packaging and lot references, and avoid altering or disposing of all affected units. A return may not be the appropriate first action. Record any agreed sorting, return, rework or replacement route and the responsibility for handling and freight before goods move.
Must a quality claim wait for my next order to be resolved?
No single remedy is assumed in advance; the verified issue and order agreement determine the resolution. Review sorting, rework, replacement, credit or refund as applicable, and record the chosen action, scope and cost responsibility. If a credit is proposed, clarify how and when it is applied instead of assuming that a future order is required.
