Sneakers
Check toe box height, heel tab symmetry, side panels, outsole alignment, midsole paint, glue marks, lace quality, box label, and insole length.
Replica QC guide
Replica QC guide for warehouse photos, apparel, sneakers, bags and parcel decisions.
Community spreadsheets often use the phrase replica QC, but the practical job is broader: inspect the warehouse photos before paying international shipping. This guide gives a clear pass, retake, or reject process for China shopping agent users reviewing sneakers, hoodies, tees, jackets, pants, bags, accessories, and mixed parcels.
Important: use QC to verify condition, sizing, completeness, and shipping readiness. Do not rely on seller images alone, and avoid buying items that create legal, customs, or platform-policy risk for your destination.
Minimum photo set
| Photo | What to inspect | Retake trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Front and back overview | Shape, color, symmetry, visible stains, print placement, and packaging condition. | Dark lighting, cropped edges, folded item, or missing back view. |
| Size and label close-up | Marked size, care tag, box label, SKU, color code, and whether the variant matches the order. | Blurred text, hidden label, wrong size, or conflicting product information. |
| Measurement photo | Chest, body length, sleeve, waist, inseam, outsole length, or insole length depending on category. | No tape measure, tilted tape, or measurements that conflict with the size chart. |
| Detail close-ups | Stitching, glue, embroidery, zipper, hardware, print edge, sole alignment, strap, and seam quality. | Any defect that affects fit, durability, appearance, or normal use. |
Category QC checklist
Hoodies and tees
Check blank weight, collar shape, cuffs, chest width, body length, print centering, embroidery density, cracking, stains, and wash fade.
Jackets and pants
Check zipper movement, sleeve length, waist, inseam, lining, snap buttons, pockets, hem shape, fabric shine, and loose threads.
Bags and accessories
Check strap stitching, zipper path, hardware finish, lining, dimensions, shape retention, included accessories, and protective packing.
Pass, retake, reject
| Decision | Use when | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Pass | Photos are clear, sizing matches, defects are minor, and route restrictions are understood. | Add to parcel and choose packaging based on weight, volume, and damage risk. |
| Retake | The item might be fine, but the photos do not show the angle, measurement, label, or detail needed. | Ask for a brighter close-up or measurement photo before shipping. |
| Reject | Wrong size, wrong color, stains, broken hardware, bad stitching, severe shape issue, or unusable packaging. | Request return, exchange, or replacement before international parcel submission. |
