LitBuy QC Gallery Guide

The LitBuy QC Gallery contains over 300,000 verification photographs that separate confident purchases from expensive disappointments. Learning to read these quality check photos effectively protects your investment and ensures every order meets your expectations.

What QC Photos Reveal

Quality Check photos capture products at the warehouse before international shipping begins. Standard QC sets include overhead shots showing overall appearance, close-ups of logos and branding, side profiles displaying shape and silhouette, sole or bottom views for footwear, and interior shots revealing materials and tags.

Each photo angle serves a specific verification purpose. Overhead shots reveal overall construction quality and symmetry. Logo close-ups expose print accuracy, embroidery density, and placement precision. Side profiles confirm shape authenticity — a critical factor for sneakers and bags where silhouette defines recognition.

Reading Shoe QC Photos

Sneaker QC requires attention to specific details. Examine toe box shape and perforation pattern consistency. Verify swoosh or logo curvature matches retail reference images. Check heel cup depth and ankle collar padding thickness. Inspect sole texture and color accuracy. Count stitch lines per inch along panels — higher counts indicate better construction.

Evaluating Clothing QC

Hoodies and t-shirts require different evaluation criteria. Check graphic print texture — screen prints feel slightly raised, DTG prints sit flat with ink soaking into fabric. Verify stitching density at stress points like shoulders and hems. Examine drawstring quality and aglet finishing on hoodies. For embroidered pieces, check thread count and fill density.

When to Reject QC

Several red flags justify immediate exchange requests. Misplaced logos, incorrect colors, visible glue stains, crooked stitching, incorrect tags, and damaged packaging all represent unacceptable quality. Trust your instincts — if something looks wrong in QC photos, it will look worse in person.
