Before shipment of bulk arcade machine orders, overseas distributors should complete factory inspection to reduce quality risks. This standard checklist helps arcade importers verify performance, build quality and export compliance before container loading.
Test every coin operated game for full cycles: coin input, game start, button and joystick response, sound output, screen display and ticket dispensing for redemption machines. Enter the service menu to verify win rate, difficulty and firmware version.
Physically inspect cabinet frames, glass panels, wiring harnesses and power connections. Check paint quality for scratches and confirm all safety covers are properly fitted. Confirm voltage configuration matches your local market requirements.
Review export documents: commercial invoice, packing list, CE certificates and test reports. Record serial numbers of each machine for warranty tracking. Buyers can attend onsite inspection or hire a third-party QC agent at the factory.
