Without knowing what product you want made, it's hard to give a specific answer. As a general rule I would say you need to keep looking until you have found an actual manufacturer, (not simply a business that claims to be a manufacturer), that does produce the quality you want.I have a somewhat complex question: the product I want to make is very simple, but quality is extremely important. I have found versions of it on Alibaba, but they're all lower quality than what I want to make. Given that I'd be significantly changing the product(different metal material, shape, better deburring/chamfering, different plastic/metal union), how do I go about quality testing the product I'm actually making, not the substandard version they've made in the past?
One of the products I used to import required the kind of treatment you refer to, and I found that even if you specify exactly what you require, it can take a lot of communication back and forth before the manufacturer manages to comply. When I found a couple of manufacturers whose quality standards were high to start with, I stuck with them for many years. Every order I placed was easy because they didn't need endless emails - their high quality was something I could just expect.
If you like to PM me with details, I'll be happy to suggest a course of action.
