Cat Toy Climbing Frame

An overseas customer (Customer No.: ******) purchased a batch of pet leashes, totaling 50,000 pieces. After the goods were delivered to the destination port, during warehouse spot checks and end-consumer retail feedback, the customer found that approximately 12,000 leashes had metal hooks with varying degrees of rust corrosion, and some hooks broke during tensile strength tests, posing serious quality and safety hazards. The customer requires a full return and replacement, and claims compensation for inspection fees and the price difference for air freight replenishment; otherwise, they will cancel subsequent annual orders.

Our company immediately arranged for quality inspectors to conduct remote video inspection, confirming that the issue was caused by substandard electroplating during production. After consultation with the customer, we agreed to accept full return of all products that had arrived at port, with return freight and import customs clearance costs borne by our company. At the same time, we allocated inventory and arranged expedited production, using more corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel to re-manufacture 20,000 pieces to be sent by air, with the remaining 30,000 pieces shipped by sea, all with completely new packaging. Before shipment of the replacement goods, third-party SGS inspection must pass before dispatch, and we will compensate the customer for testing fees and part of the air freight price difference.

Customer *** is a large overseas pet supplies chain retail enterprise. It purchased pet combs, pet leashes, pet water dispensers, cat trees, pet feeders and other products in multiple categories, totaling tens of thousands of items, through a one-time B2B procurement. Due to the complex product categories and the relatively complicated operation and installation methods of some products (such as smart water dispensers, multifunctional leashes, and assembled cat trees), the customer's warehouse and store staff lacked systematic training, resulting in a large number of customer inquiries being unanswered, and a surge in returns and after-sales complaints. The customer urgently requested a batch after-sales training from us, aiming to quickly reduce the after-sales rate caused by improper use.

We immediately established a dedicated after-sales training team and customized a complete training program for the client***, comprising 'online live training + offline hands-on guidance + multilingual resource packages'. The training covered the client's warehouse management staff, store sales personnel, and customer service teams, with a total of 6 online live sessions addressing high-frequency issues such as leash adjustment and safety buckle usage, water dispenser disassembly/cleaning and installation, cat tree assembly and reinforcement, and feeder mode settings. We also recorded operation videos with Chinese-English subtitles, illustrated SOPs, and a common fault troubleshooting manual, all uploaded to the client's shared platform for employees to review at any time. For key stores, we dispatched 2 trainers to the client's location for on-site demonstrations and hands-on instruction. After the training, a dedicated Q&A channel was set up, with our after-sales engineers providing follow-up support for one week to ensure all issues were fully resolved.

Feedback from a major B2B customer in Europe (Order No.: ***) indicates that out of 10,000 pet leashes purchased, approximately 3,200 have issues with the buckle failing to lock or popping open during assembly. The customer has suspended the entire batch's quality inspection process and urgently requires our technical assessment and remote solution, otherwise it will affect their downstream channel deliveries and may lead to a batch claim.

Our after-sales technical team remotely connected with the customer's quality inspection and warehouse managers via video conference, and required 20 faulty units to be randomly selected and high-definition videos of buckle pressing, pulling, and locking states to be recorded. After comparative analysis, it was determined that the internal spring plate of the buckle had insufficient return stroke due to hardness deviation in the batch of raw materials. We immediately provided two solutions: 1) Guided the customer to use spare replacement buckles (the 5% spare parts included with the shipment) to replace the already assembled parts on site; 2) For the remaining unassembled products, remotely issued a buckle pre-compression adjustment SOP, guiding the customer to press the spring plate with a special tool to increase the locking stroke. At the same time, we urgently arranged for 12,000 sets of new batch buckles of the same specification to be shipped by air, and covered the costs of remote training and repair labor subsidies.
