SuperBuy QC Checklist — What to Look For Before Shipping
Why QC Inspection Is Critical
QC photos are your last chance to catch problems before an item ships internationally. Once a package leaves China, returning it becomes impractical and expensive. The SuperBuy warehouse takes standard QC photos for every item, but knowing what to look for — and what to request additional photos of — makes the difference between a successful haul and disappointing surprises.
The Complete QC Checklist
Use this checklist for every item in your SuperBuy warehouse. Add a "QC Pass" column to your spreadsheet and check each point before approving shipping:
Logo/Branding — Is the logo correct, properly placed, and properly sized? Compare against retail reference photos if available.
Stitching Quality — Check seams, hems, and stress points for loose threads, skipped stitches, or uneven stitching.
Color Accuracy — Compare QC photo colors against the listing photos. Note that warehouse lighting can slightly alter color perception.
Size Tag — Verify the size tag matches what you ordered. Request a measurement photo with a ruler/tape measure for critical dimensions.
Material/Texture — Does the fabric look consistent with expectations? Look for obvious flaws like stains, pulls, or inconsistent texture.
Shape/Silhouette — Does the item hold the expected shape? Lay-flat photos help verify cut and pattern accuracy.
Hardware/Accessories — Check zippers, buttons, buckles, and any attached accessories for proper function and finish.
Symmetry — Verify that left and right sides are symmetrical. Uneven pocket placement or collar asymmetry are common issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many QC photos does SuperBuy provide?
SuperBuy provides standard QC photos for free, typically 3-5 images per item showing front, back, tags, and any notable details. You can request additional photos for specific concerns, usually at a small additional cost.
What if QC photos show defects?
If QC reveals defects, you can request a return or exchange through SuperBuy. Domestic return shipping within China is typically at your expense, but it is far cheaper than dealing with a defective item after international delivery.
