Understanding Quality Control (QC) Photos

Quality Control (QC) photos are the cornerstone of the superbuy spreadsheet experience. They are real photographs taken at the warehouse after your item arrives, showing you the actual product before it is shipped to you.

The superbuy spreadsheet QC guide helps you understand how to read these photos, identify potential issues, and make informed decisions about whether to approve your item for shipping.

What QC Photos Show

  • Full Product Views — Front, back, and side angles showing the entire item
  • Detail Close-ups — Logo, stitching, hardware, and print quality
  • Interior Shots — Inside of bags, shoes, and clothing labels
  • Measurement Photos — Ruler or tape measure showing actual dimensions
  • Packaging — How the item is wrapped and protected

Red Flags to Watch For

Not every QC photo will show a perfect product. Here are the most common red flags to watch for:

  • Asymmetry — Logos or patterns that are not centered
  • Stitching Gaps — Visible gaps or uneven thread spacing
  • Color Discrepancy — Item color that clearly differs from the listing
  • Size Errors — Measurements that do not match the size chart
  • Material Issues — Fabric that looks different from the description

Pro Tip

Always request measurement photos for items over $50. Having exact dimensions in the QC photo helps avoid sizing disputes and return hassles.
