How to Review OopBuy QC Photos Like a Pro
Quality Check (QC) photos are your most powerful tool as an OopBuy buyer. This is the moment where you see exactly what you're getting before it travels 7,000 miles to your door. Learning to review QC photos on OopBuy properly can save you from expensive mistakes and ensure you only ship items that meet your standards.
The QC Process at OopBuy
Here's what happens when your item arrives at OopBuy's warehouse:
- Warehouse staff unpackages and inspects the item
- Multiple photos are taken from standardized angles
- You receive a notification and 72 hours to review
- You approve (ship), reject (refund), or request additional photos
OopBuy's QC is included free with every order — a major advantage over some competitors who charge extra for this service.
What to Look For: By Category
Shoes
- Toe box shape — compare against retail reference images
- Sole color and texture — icy blue soles, gum soles, etc.
- Stitching lines — should be clean, evenly spaced, and straight
- Logo placement — Swoosh position, Jumpman angle, etc.
- Insole branding — request insole photo if not included
- Size tag accuracy — verify the size matches what you ordered
Clothing (Hoodies, T-Shirts, Jackets)
- Embroidery vs. screen print — some details should be embroidered, not printed
- Tag placement and font — incorrect fonts or misaligned tags are quality flags
- Color accuracy — fabric can look different under warehouse lighting; ask for daylight photos
- Seam straightness — crooked seams indicate poor construction
- Zip/button quality — should operate smoothly without gaps
Accessories
- Hardware finish — gold-tone hardware should be uniform, not patchy
- Serial numbers/authenticity marks — if the replica includes these, verify placement
- Stitching on leather goods — even, tight stitching is a sign of quality
