How to review Kakobuy QC photos

QC photos are most helpful when they answer practical questions before shipping: does the item match the listing, are the colors close, is the shape acceptable, and are visible details clean enough for your standards?

  1. Check the front, back, side, sole, tag, and close-up detail angles.
  2. Compare seller photos with warehouse photos instead of judging from one image.
  3. Look for obvious asymmetry, stains, missing parts, poor stitching, and wrong size tags.
  4. Use spreadsheet notes to mark items that need extra photos before approval.

QC checklist by product type

Sneakers need shape checks, sole checks, box label checks, and close-up stitching photos. Jackets need zipper, logo, pocket, fabric, and puffiness checks. Hoodies and T-shirts need print placement, collar shape, tag detail, and size chart confirmation. Bags need hardware, handle shape, lining, stitching, and overall proportions.

A spreadsheet cannot replace warehouse inspection, but it can help shoppers choose products that are worth inspecting. Items with clear listing photos and strong detail-page information usually create a smoother QC process after they arrive at the warehouse.

When to request extra photos

Ask for additional photos when the listing has only one angle, when a logo or hardware detail is hidden, when size tags are unclear, or when the item depends heavily on texture. Extra photos are especially useful for black clothing, leather bags, glossy puffers, and shoes where small shape differences are easier to miss.

FAQ

Kakobuy spreadsheet questions

How does the Kakobuy order flow work?

Use the spreadsheet to shortlist a product, open the source link in Kakobuy, choose size/color/version, pay for the item and domestic shipping, wait for warehouse arrival, review QC photos, then submit a parcel and pay international shipping.

What does Kakobuy QC normally check?

Kakobuy's standard inspection focuses on visible information such as style, quantity, color, size, model, obvious damage, stains, scratches, severe logo flaws, and whether the delivered item appears to match the order details.

What does QC not guarantee?

QC is not a professional authenticity or performance test. Kakobuy says it may not verify color difference, size error, electronics quality, accessories, phone-case models, glasses degree, sealed-package contents, or every print/detail issue.

How long can items stay in the Kakobuy warehouse?

Kakobuy states that normal purchasing and forwarding packages have 100 days of free warehouse storage from the in-storage status. Shoppers should consolidate and ship before the storage window ends.

When should I request a return or exchange?

If the warehouse item is wrong, visibly defective, damaged, or not acceptable after QC, request return or exchange while it is still in China. Kakobuy's help pages describe a 5-day return/exchange guarantee for eligible seller-supported items.

How are Kakobuy shipping costs calculated?

International shipping is based on estimated item weight, destination, selected route, and related service/customs fees. Kakobuy says shipping-fee differences are refunded to the Kakobuy account after shipment when applicable.

What customs or Europe shipping risks should I know?

Kakobuy warns that international parcels can face delay, tax duty, damage, seizure, loss, customs inspection, route restrictions, and declaration problems. EU shoppers should treat tax-free or low-tax routes as route-specific, not guaranteed.

Which items are risky or not suitable to ship?

Avoid counterfeit goods and restricted items. Kakobuy help pages mention customs/air risks for batteries, powders, liquids, precious metals, flammable or explosive products, fragile items, electronics, and other prohibited or sensitive goods.
