How should buyers use a QC photo checklist?
Buyers should use a QC photo checklist after an item reaches the warehouse and before approving international shipment. Start by matching the warehouse photos to the seller listing, selected size, color and batch notes. Then inspect category-specific details: shoe shape, stitching, logos, tags, measurements, fabric, hardware, stains, symmetry, packaging and obvious defects. Request extra photos when labels, soles, zippers, measurements or high-risk details are not visible. The checklist does not authenticate products or guarantee retail accuracy, but it helps buyers make a consistent approve, exchange or return decision before shipping costs become harder to recover.
