First confirm that the photographed item matches your order. Then check visible condition and request a missing view only when it would change your decision.
Understand what the QC number on a card means
A badge such as “6 QC photos” means the catalog associates six photos with that product. It does not mean that six useful angles are available for your exact colour and size. This site has the count, but not the underlying QC image files; open the relevant order or warehouse view to inspect the real images.
Do not compare two products by photo count alone. Three clear views of the correct item can answer more than ten near-duplicate images that omit a size label or damaged area. A catalog photo count is also separate from the inspection of the item in your own order; it does not say that a warehouse has checked your purchase.

Distinguish a live listing from an inspected order
A “verified link” label on a third-party spreadsheet may mean its source listing was reachable at the time of a check. It is not the same as photos of the item you ordered. Likewise, an associated QC count on this site tells you how many images the catalog records for a product, not whether they show the exact colour, size or unit that will arrive for you.
For an order decision, use the current listing to confirm the option and price. For a warehouse decision, open the photos attached to your own order, check when they were taken and match the item to the order record. If the images cannot be tied to the item you paid for, ask support to clarify before submitting the parcel.
Match the photographed item to your order
Place your order details beside the photos. Compare model, colour, selected size or volume, quantity and any obvious design difference. Check that a close-up belongs to the same item as the wider photo.
A mismatch is a concrete question for support: “I ordered the blue option in size 42, but the warehouse photo shows a black pair or an unreadable size label.” Include the order number and the image that shows the difference.
- Shoes: compare both sides, toe and heel, outsole, size label and visible damage.
- Clothing: compare front and back, tag, print or embroidery placement, seams and any provided measurements.
- Bags: compare hardware, strap attachment, closure, interior and dimensions when available.
- Perfume: inspect the visible bottle, cap, seal and selected volume, while remembering that photos cannot verify the contents or authenticity.
Separate visible defects from unanswered questions
A tear, stain, wrong colour or missing part may be visible. Fabric feel, exact fit, function, scent, hidden construction and authenticity generally cannot be established from a photo. Lighting may also make colours look different.
Mark each concern as “visible issue”, “not shown” or “cannot be established by photos”. This prevents a missing angle from being mistaken for a defect, and prevents a clean-looking image from being treated as proof of everything else.
Example: a shoe photo shows the front and both sides, but no size label. You can compare shape and visible condition; you cannot confirm the ordered size from those images. Ask for a readable label photo before deciding.
Turn each concern into a clear next action
Read the full set in order: start with a wide view to identify the item, then use detail views to inspect the concern. A cropped label or zipper close-up is more useful when you can connect it to the same item shown in the wider image. Keep the ordered option visible beside the photo set.
| What the images show | What you can conclude | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong colour beside the order option | A visible mismatch needs review | Save both images and contact support promptly |
| No readable size label | The ordered size is still unconfirmed | Request a clear label photo |
| Clean-looking front and back | No obvious issue in those views | Check missing details; do not infer fit or authenticity |
This distinction is especially useful when a card advertises several QC photos. The useful question is not “how many?” but “which decision can these particular images support?”
Ask for one useful extra view or measurement
Name the exact detail and why it matters. “Please photograph the size label clearly” is more actionable than “send more QC”. For a hoodie, ask for chest width laid flat if fit depends on that measurement; for a bag, ask for the interior or strap connection.
Keep the request and response attached to the order. Extra images may depend on the service and its current rules, so check what is available in the order interface before assuming a request is free or guaranteed.
For a measurement, describe the two endpoints and the unit you need. “Chest width, laid flat from underarm to underarm, in centimetres” is easier to act on than “does it fit true to size?” Compare that number with a garment you already own, allowing for the cut and fabric.
Decide before combining the item into a parcel
If the item matches and the remaining uncertainty is acceptable to you, you can move to the parcel stage. If it appears incorrect or damaged, save the ordered option and QC evidence, then raise the issue promptly while the item is still at the warehouse.
Returns depend on the seller, product condition and time window. Once an item has left the warehouse, the same remedy may no longer be available. Use the return guide for the next check rather than treating QC approval as a formality.
