Customer testimonials and broad praise should be traceable to genuine reviews and used with permission. This guide instead explains the process buyers can verify for themselves.

Define the requirement

Document the users, tasks, environment, presentation, care, quantities, approvals and repeat-order needs before selecting a product or supplier.

Practical checks

• exact product specifications and size chart
• sample options and exchange conditions
• branding proof and production approval
• complete quote, freight and timing
• contact and problem-resolution process

Verify the claim

Review the current product page, policies and written quote for the exact order. Do not treat general marketing language as a guarantee.

Use samples and written approval

Where practical, review the exact product and keep a record of style codes, colours, sizes, artwork, quotation and approvals. Recheck information that may change before reordering.
