How to Read QC Photos Like a Pro
QC photos are your best tool for ensuring quality before shipping. Here's how to evaluate them from the hipobuy spreadsheet.
Check the Overall Shape
Compare the silhouette to retail reference photos. Major shape differences are a red flag.
Zoom Into Logos
Logo font, size, and placement should match retail exactly. Blurry or off-center logos indicate poor quality.
Inspect Stitching
Look for even, tight stitching. Loose threads or uneven seams suggest low quality.
Check Hardware
Zippers, buttons, and clasps should look solid and match the retail version.
Verify Colors
Colors can look different under warehouse lighting. Ask for additional photos if unsure.
FAQ \u2013 Reading QC Photos
What should I look for first in QC photos?

How many QC photos should I request?
Request at least 10-15 photos covering all angles: front, back, sides, top, bottom, and close-ups of logos and stitching.
