Quality control that catches what machines miss

Cloud9 is a UK third-party fulfilment company based in Sheffield. Rework and QC is where our hands-on approach earns its keep. When a delivery arrives mislabelled, mixed, damaged in transit or simply not built the way it needs to be, we inspect it, sort it and put it right, so it goes back into sellable stock rather than out to a customer as a complaint. Because we do this by hand rather than push everything through a machine, we can take on the awkward jobs the big warehouses turn away.

  • Inspection and quality checks on incoming stock, so problems are found on arrival, not by your customers.
  • Sorting and grading, good stock separated from faulty.
  • Relabelling and repackaging to your spec.
  • Correction of mislabelled, mixed or wrongly built stock, put back to sellable.
  • Handled in-house at our Sheffield warehouse alongside your fulfilment, so stock does not travel to a third party.
  • Quoted as its own line, so you see exactly what the rework costs.
  • A named account contact plus tracked tickets, so you know what was found and what was done.
  • Custom goods-in and goods-out workflows built to your requirements, plus batch and expiry management where needed.
WHAT WE HANDLE

The stock problems we sort out

Damaged or short deliveries

Stock that arrives damaged, mixed or not matching the count. We check it in, flag the shortfall early and set aside what cannot be sold.

Mislabelled or wrongly barcoded stock

Wrong labels, missing barcodes or out-of-date information, relabelled to your spec so the product is sellable again rather than written off.

Returns that need checking

Returned items inspected, graded and either put back into sellable stock or set aside, so a return never goes straight back out with a fault.

Stock that needs re-sorting or re-packing

Product re-sorted, re-kitted or repackaged for a new channel, a retailer's requirements or a fresh promotion.

HOW IT WORKS

How our rework process works

01

We receive and assess the stock

The delivery or batch comes in and we check it against what it should be, so we understand the scale of the job before we start rather than finding out halfway through.

02

We agree the rework with you

We confirm what needs doing, how, and what it will cost before we run the full quantity, so the approach is one you have signed off, not a surprise.

03

We work through it by hand, and check each unit

Sorting, relabelling, repackaging or correcting, unit by unit, with a checking stage so nothing faulty slips back into your sellable stock.

04

Back to sellable stock, or straight out

Corrected stock goes back into your inventory ready to ship, or straight out on the next order, with what we found and did recorded for you.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING

Product rework and QC questions, answered

What kinds of rework can you do?
Inspection, sorting and grading, relabelling, repackaging, and correcting mislabelled or wrongly built stock, all by hand. We can also build custom goods-in and goods-out workflows to your requirements. If your job is not on this list, tell us what came in and what it needs and we will say whether we can take it on.
Can you inspect stock when it arrives?
Yes. We check incoming stock against what it should be, so damage, shortfalls or faults are found on arrival and flagged to you early, rather than turning up as customer complaints later.
Can you relabel or repackage to our spec?
Yes. We relabel and repackage to your spec, so stock that is fine underneath a wrong label or a damaged outer is put right and kept sellable instead of written off.
Do you charge separately for rework?
Yes. Rework is quoted as its own line, so you can see exactly what the work costs rather than it being buried in a flat rate. What it comes to depends on the job, which a short call sorts out.
What happens to faulty stock you find?
We separate it out, hold it and tell you what we found, so you decide what happens next, whether that is correcting it, returning it to a supplier or disposing of it. Nothing faulty goes back into your sellable stock without your say-so.
