Shoes
Check toe shape, sole color, stitching, glue marks, heel tabs, size tags, and whether the left and right shoes look balanced.
QC checklist
Photo checklist before you ship anything
Warehouse photos are not decoration. They are the last practical checkpoint before the item becomes expensive to fix. Use them to verify the product, confirm sizing, and decide whether to ship, exchange, return, or ask for more photos.
Best habit:
Compare the warehouse photos against the listing and your original reason for choosing the link. If the item no longer matches that reason, pause before shipping.
Start with the basic photo set
A useful QC set should show the whole item, not only the most flattering angle. If an important detail is hidden, ask for one extra photo before approving international shipping.
- Front, back, side, and top or bottom views are visible where relevant.
- Close-ups show logos, labels, stitching, print placement, hardware, and texture.
- The selected color, size, and variation match the option you submitted.
- The product shape matches the listing and does not look distorted or uneven.
- Packaging does not hide the only detail you need to verify.
Check measurements before checking details
A beautiful item is still a bad order if it does not fit. For clothing and shoes, compare measurements against something you already own. Label size alone is not enough, especially when the listing uses regional sizing, oversized fits, or vague size charts.
ShoesInsole length, outsole length, heel height, toe shape, and size tag.
TopsChest width, shoulder width, body length, sleeve length, and collar details.
PantsWaist, rise, thigh, inseam, outseam, and leg opening.
BagsWidth, height, depth, strap length, and interior layout.
Category-specific QC checks
Different items fail in different ways. Use the category to decide what deserves attention first.
Bags
Inspect logo placement, zipper quality, strap alignment, interior lining, corners, handle shape, and hardware color.
Jackets
Look at sleeve length, zipper pulls, patch placement, fabric texture, filling balance, collar shape, and overall weight.
Accessories
Check engraving, clasp quality, chain length, lenses, stitching, packaging claims, and whether close-up photos show clean finishing.
Red flags that deserve a pause
Not every flaw matters equally. A small loose thread may be acceptable on a low-cost item, while the wrong size, wrong color, missing part, or visibly damaged product should stop the shipment.
- The item is a different color, version, or size than the option you selected.
- The photos show stains, dents, scratches, glue marks, broken hardware, or missing parts.
- The left and right sides do not match on shoes, sleeves, panels, or straps.
- The measurement photo conflicts with the seller size chart in a meaningful way.
- The product page, seller image, and QC photos appear to describe different items.
What to ask Kakobuy before approving
Keep requests specific. Instead of asking for "more pictures," ask for the exact angle or measurement you need. That makes it easier for warehouse staff to help and easier for you to make a decision.
For sizingPlease add a measurement photo for the insole, chest, waist, or strap length.
For defectsPlease add a close-up photo of the mark, stitch line, zipper, logo, or damaged area.
For colorPlease photograph the item in normal lighting next to the size tag or package label.
For missing detailsPlease confirm whether the accessory, dust bag, box, extra laces, or strap is included.
Ship, exchange, or skip?
Approve shipping only when the item matches your order and the visible risks are acceptable. Ask for an exchange when the seller sent the wrong item or a fixable defect is obvious. Return or abandon the link when the risk is bigger than the savings.
