What Are QC Photos?
QC stands for Quality Control. When you order through Kalobuy.com using a Kakobuy spreadsheet link, the agent receives your item from the seller and photographs it from multiple angles before shipping to you.
These photos are your only chance to catch flaws, incorrect sizes, or wrong colors before the item leaves China. Never skip this step.
Essential Angles to Request
For sneakers: top-down toe box, lateral side profile, medial side profile, back heel tab, insole text, and sole tread. For apparel: front flat lay, back flat lay, tag close-up, stitching detail, and print alignment.
Most agents provide 3-5 free photos. Request additional angles for $0.50-1.00 each. The small fee is worth avoiding a disappointing delivery.
Spotting Common Flaws
Sneakers: toe box too thick, heel tab misaligned, swoosh too curved or too flat, color shade off by more than one Pantone step. Apparel: crooked print, loose threads, wrong tag font, sizing off by more than 2cm.
Our advanced QC guide has batch-specific flaw checklists for popular items.
Approval vs Exchange
If the QC photos look good, click "Approve" and the item ships to you. If you spot a flaw, click "Exchange" and describe the issue with a red circle on the photo. Most sellers allow one free exchange.

Pro Tip for Kakobuy Spreadsheet Users
Always cross-reference prices across multiple tabs in the spreadsheet. Hidden deals often appear in older rows that sellers have not updated. Bookmark your favorite categories for quick access.
