The General QC Inspection Framework

  • Check that the correct item, color, and size were purchased
  • Inspect the overall shape and silhouette against reference photos
  • Look for visible defects, stains, or damage on the item
  • Compare logo placement and embroidery to retail reference photos
  • Verify tags, labels, and packaging match the description
  • Check the item from multiple angles — do not rely on a single photo

Shoe QC: What to Check

  • Toe box shape and symmetry — both shoes should match
  • Heel tab alignment and stitching density
  • Swoosh or logo placement and curvature
  • Midsole paint lines and color accuracy
  • Tongue thickness and label placement
  • Insole print quality and alignment
  • Outsole pattern and tread depth
  • Lace quality and lace lock details

Clothing QC: What to Check

  • Fabric weight and thickness compared to the description
  • Stitch density and alignment on seams
  • Print quality and alignment on graphic pieces
  • Embroidery accuracy and thread density
  • Tag placement, font, and accuracy
  • Wash label accuracy and material composition
  • Sizing measurements — measure against the chart

Accessory QC: What to Check

  • Hardware quality and markings on bags, belts, and wallets
  • Stitching consistency on leather goods
  • Material texture and feel compared to description
  • Lens clarity and frame alignment on sunglasses
  • Clasp function and weight on jewelry
  • Zipper smoothness and pull-tab accuracy on bags

When to Request a Return vs. Accept

Return Immediately

Accept Minor Flaws

  • Slight color variation due to warehouse lighting
