Kakobuy QC photos explained
QC means quality control. Before your item leaves the Kakobuy warehouse, staff photograph your actual unit and send you the pictures. You look them over and either approve the item for shipping, or request a replacement or refund. It is the single most useful protection an agent gives you — you are never paying to ship something you haven't seen.
Why QC photos matter
Catalog images are stock. QC photos are the real thing in someone's hands at the warehouse. They catch the problems that stock photos hide: a crooked print, a wrong badge, a colour that's off, a defect in the fabric. Two minutes of checking here saves a return that would cost you international postage both ways.
What to look for
- Stitching & edges — even, tight, no loose threads or crooked seams.
- Badges, logos & prints — correct, centred and cleanly applied. For jerseys, check the crest and sponsor.
- Colour — matches what you expected (screens vary, but obvious mismatches show).
- Tags & sizing — the size label matches what you ordered.
- Shape & symmetry — for shoes especially, check the silhouette and that left/right match.
The habit that prevents most problems: don't rush the approval. Zoom in, compare against the product page, and only release for shipping when it matches. If in doubt, ask for extra photos — it's free.
If something's wrong
Request a replacement or a refund at the QC stage, before you pay for shipping. This is exactly why buying from a curated spreadsheet helps — the listings have already been vetted, so QC surprises are rarer to begin with.
