Should I visit the factory myself or send someone?

It depends. If you are already coming to China, go and see it. But is it worth a flight only for this? Back and forth is already more than a thousand dollars. That is what I do for clients. I go to the factory, I film it, I call you on video and show you the floor live. And because they know I have a company here in Shanghai, they know I can show up any day. That keeps them careful.

If this is where you are right now, Factory Verification — I go look myself is the deeper version of this same check.
