Match the photos to your current warehouse item, verify size, color and quantity, then inspect important details. Resolve a wrong option or visible defect before packing. A catalog QC count indicates recorded photos; it does not mean the item passed inspection or that those photos show your own order.
Find the photos that belong to your item
For a stored Hoobuy order, open User Center, Warehouse and the relevant item record. Match the item ID and ordered variant before reviewing photos. If inspection is incomplete, ask about that item record rather than assuming a domestic delivered scan means the photos are ready.
Photos found while browsing a spreadsheet may belong to another buyer, unit or batch. Use them to identify questions about a listing. Use your own order evidence to decide whether the item that reached the warehouse matches what you purchased.
Check identity and visible condition first
Compare the ordered model, size label, color and quantity before studying small cosmetic details. A sharp image of the wrong size still shows the wrong option. Examine a pair of shoes together and check included accessories against the selected listing.
Lighting, camera tilt and compression can change apparent color or shape. If a difference could be photographic, ask for a clearer angle rather than presenting an uncertain impression as a confirmed defect.
| Product | Useful views | Question to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Sneakers | Both sides, both heels, soles and size labels. | Do the pair, labels and visible construction match the ordered option? |
| Hoodies and T-shirts | Front/back, size tag, seams and flat measurements. | Are the print, selected size and measured fit consistent with the listing? |
| Bags and hats | Fastenings, strap anchors, lining and adjustment area. | Are parts present and attachment points visibly intact? |
| Electronics | Model label, ports, included parts and any functional evidence. | Is the selected version present, and which functions were actually checked? |
Compare measurements using the same method
Lay a garment flat without stretching it. Compare a straight chest-width measurement with the same measurement on a garment that fits. Measure length from the reference point used in the listing; shoulder-to-hem and collar-to-hem are not interchangeable.
If a listing shows 58 cm straight across the chest, comparing it with your 58 cm body circumference would be a mistake. Doubling flat width gives only an approximate circumference comparison and says little about shoulder shape, stretch or preferred fit. The illustration shows measurement directions, not a tested garment.
Decide whether to keep, clarify or raise a problem
Make the next action depend on evidence. A wrong size tag and a missing view call for different messages. Keep the current photos and order selection together so the reviewer can see the issue without reconstructing the order.
| Finding | Next action |
|---|---|
| Ordered labels, quantity and visible details match | Finish fit/condition checks, then consider packing. |
| Unreadable label or missing angle | Ask for that label, view or measurement; check any extra-service charge first. |
| Visible tear, wrong variant or missing included part | Save evidence and open an item-specific after-sales request before shipping. |
| Color or shape differs only in one uncertain image | Compare another angle and lighting; clarify before calling it a defect. |
Request one missing detail clearly
Identify the needed view and explain the question it should settle. Ask which extra photo or measurement services are available before agreeing to a charge. Do not request unsealing or a destructive test without understanding the effect on return eligibility.
Warehouse item ID: [ID] Ordered option: [size / color / version] Unclear detail: [specific area] Please provide [a readable size-label photo / a straight flat chest measurement / a view of the missing part]. Please confirm any extra charge before providing the service.
Recognize what photographs cannot establish
Photos do not authenticate a brand, measure scent, establish internal component quality or demonstrate long-term comfort. A device casing photograph does not prove battery capacity or reliable performance. Identify the evidence a specific function needs and ask whether that inspection is available.
When evidence shows a mismatch, use the return and exchange guide. When checks are complete, continue with the warehouse-to-parcel process. To compare another candidate, browse sneakers or T-shirts using the same checks.
Common questions
Are more QC photos always better?
No. Relevant angles, readable labels and the correct item match matter more than the raw count.
Can QC photos prove authenticity?
No. Visible photos and a catalog count are not an authentication service or certificate.
Should I submit a parcel while a return question is open?
Resolve item-specific handling before requesting packing or international shipment.
