Why QC Photos Matter on Kakobuy Spreadsheet

The kakobuy spreadsheet includes QC photo links for many items, but when you order through an agent, you will receive your own set of QC photos before shipping. These photos are your only chance to verify the actual product quality before it leaves China. Once you approve the QC photos, the agent ships the item. If you reject them, you can request a return or exchange, though this may involve fees depending on the seller's policy.

Understanding QC photos saves money and frustration. The kakobuy spreadsheet community has processed thousands of QC submissions, creating a knowledge base of common flaws for each product category. New QC photos added to the database this week show significant improvements in batch quality for several popular items. By learning what to look for, you can make confident approve-or-reject decisions without relying solely on community opinions.

How to QC Shoes from Kakobuy Spreadsheet

Shoe QC is the most detailed category on the kakobuy spreadsheet. Start with overall shape - the silhouette should match retail reference photos closely. Check the toe box shape and height, as this is where many batches differ. The stitching should be consistent and tight, with no loose threads. Logo placement on the heel, tongue, and insole must be centered and properly sized. For Jordans, check the cage pattern on 4s and the hourglass shape on 1s.

Material quality is harder to judge from photos but possible with practice. Leather should look textured, not overly smooth or plastic-like. Suede should have movement when brushed - look for photos where the agent tests this. The boost sole on Yeezys should have a distinct bubbly texture visible in QC photos. Sole paint and stitching on the bottom should be clean. The kakobuy spreadsheet shoe section includes specific flaw notes for each model to help your QC process.

QC Checklist for Clothing Items

Clothing QC on the kakobuy spreadsheet focuses on different elements than shoes. Start with the wash tag and neck tag - font, spacing, and material should match retail. Embroidery should be dense and clean without loose threads. Print quality on graphic tees should be sharp with no pixelation or cracking. Check the stitching around collars, cuffs, and hems for consistency. Sizing measurements provided by the agent should match the kakobuy spreadsheet listing.

For hoodies, check the drawstring material and aglet quality. The hood shape and stitching where it meets the body are common flaw areas. For jackets, verify zipper branding, pocket placement, and interior lining patterns. Canada Goose replicas should show proper badge embroidery and fur trim quality. The kakobuy spreadsheet clothing entries often include measurement charts - compare these against the QC photos your agent provides to catch sizing discrepancies before shipping.

When to RL vs GL Your QC Photos

RL (Red Light) means reject the item and request a return. GL (Green Light) means approve the item for shipping. The kakobuy spreadsheet community has developed standards for what deserves an RL. For shoes, obvious shape differences, major logo misplacement, and material downgrades warrant an RL. For clothing, incorrect tags, significant print errors, and sizing more than 3cm off deserve rejection.

However, not every minor flaw requires an RL. Slight stitching inconsistencies, minor color variations that are batch-wide, and acceptable material differences are often GL-worthy. The key question is whether the flaw is calloutable - would someone notice it on foot or while wearing? The kakobuy spreadsheet discussion threads help calibrate your RL standards by showing what other buyers accepted or rejected for the same item.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How many QC photos should my kakobuy agent provide?

Most agents provide 5-8 photos per item, showing different angles. For shoes, request photos of both shoes, sole bottom, insole, and any specific areas you are concerned about. Some agents charge extra for additional photos.

Q2: Can I return items after GL on kakobuy?

No. Once you GL an item, the agent ships it and returns are generally not possible. This is why careful QC review is critical before approving. Always compare against retail reference photos and kakobuy spreadsheet community submissions.

Q3: What if my item arrives different from the QC photos?

This is rare but happens if the agent accidentally ships the wrong item. Document everything with photos and contact your agent immediately. Most agents will investigate and offer compensation or reshipment if the error is confirmed.
