Reading product and QC images

"QC" stands for quality check. It is worth understanding what a QC photo actually shows, because it is easy to read more into one than it can support.

Two different kinds of photo

The image on every listing on this sheet is a seller listing photo — the marketing image from the source page. It shows the product the seller advertises, not the specific unit you would receive.

A QC photo is different: it is taken by an agent's warehouse staff after your order arrives from the seller, before it is shipped on to you. It shows the actual item bought for your order.

This sheet has no QC galleries

None of the items here come with QC photos, so we do not show a QC gallery and we do not display a "0 photos" counter to imply we counted anything. If you want QC images for an item, you get them by ordering it through an agent and asking for QC before the parcel ships. Kakobuy handles the inspection step on its own platform.

What a QC photo can tell you

• Obvious workmanship problems: loose stitching, glue marks, uneven seams.
• Colour and print against the listing photo.
• Whether the size, variant or quantity matches what you ordered.
• Visible damage, stains or a clearly wrong item.

What a QC photo cannot tell you

A QC photo is not an authentication. It cannot prove a brand is genuine, cannot certify materials, electrical safety or durability, and cannot guarantee fit or that the parcel will arrive. Do not read a batch code, a factory name or a "grade" into a photo that does not clearly show one. If you are unsure about something, treat it as unknown rather than reading it into the image.

Asking for QC

1. Order the item through an agent such as Kakobuy.
2. When it reaches the warehouse, request QC photos before you pay for shipping.
3. Check colour, size, quantity and workmanship against the listing.
4. If something is wrong, raise it with the agent while the parcel is still in the warehouse — their own after-sales rules decide what happens next.
