What QC photos are—and are not
QC (quality check) photos usually show the unit that arrived at a warehouse before international shipping. They help you catch mismatches early. They do not warranty long-term wear, authenticity, or every hidden defect.
Warehouse lighting can shift color. Compare against the listing, but panic only on clear mismatches.
Identity first
Do the photos show the same silhouette, colorway, and major logos as the Lovegobuy spreadsheet row and live title?
- Wrong model or colorway → stop
- Size tag should match what you ordered
- Ask for extra angles if identity is unclear
Construction next
Zoom for seams, hardware, print edges, sole profile, zipper alignment—whatever that category actually fails on.
- Shoes: toe box, sole, logo placement
- Hoodies: print edges, cuff rib, fabric look
- Bags: stitching, hardware, strap attachment
Scale last
Lifestyle crops hide size. Prefer photos that reveal garment width clues, bag volume, watch case size, or hat crown height.
If scale is invisible and fit matters, do not shortlist yet.
When to reject or request more photos
Reject when identity fails or defects are obvious. Request more photos when the critical angle for your category is missing. Approve only when the remaining risk is acceptable to you—not because a sheet said “good QC.”
FAQ
Do Lovegobuy QC photos prove a find is high quality?
No. They are evidence for one unit at one moment. Use them to check identity, construction, and scale.
Should I skip QC on cheap items?
No. Cheap items still cost international shipping. Two minutes of QC review often beats a regret parcel.
