How to check QC photos

Confirm colorway, size label, and quantity match what you ordered. Check that the box or bag style matches the listing if that matters to you. Wrong item shipped is the fastest reason to stop before shipping.

For shoes, compare toe shape, midsole curve, heel tab, and stitching lines. For apparel, check print alignment, zipper pull, and wash tags. For bags, look at hardware engraving, strap attachments, and interior lining.

Compare QC to listing photos, community albums, or review posts if you have them. You are checking for obvious mismatches and defects — not hunting sub-millimeter differences unless you paid for that tier of product.

Minor glue or loose thread might be acceptable at budget price points. Wrong size, wrong model, heavy scuffs, or broken hardware usually are not. Ask for another photo angle if lighting hides something important. Open a ticket before you submit the haul.
