QC photos are your one chance to inspect an item before it leaves China — so it pays to know exactly what to look at. Use this interactive checklist while you review your photos. Pick your category, tick each point, and only approve when everything's clear.

Interactive QC checklist — pick your category, then tick each point as you review your QC photos. Your progress shows below. (Nothing is saved or sent — it's just a checklist for you.)

What "QC" actually means

QC stands for quality check. When your agent receives your item at the warehouse, they photograph it in detail and send those photos to you for approval before shipping. This is the single most important protection in the whole process: nothing ships until you've seen the actual item you'll receive and said yes. A batch swap, a wrong size, a defect, a misspelled jersey name — all of these are catchable at QC and fixable before your money leaves China. Skipping a careful QC review is the most common avoidable mistake buyers make.

How to review QC photos properly

Don't just glance and approve. Open each photo full-size and compare against an official retail reference — not another seller's render, an actual retail product photo. Check the details specific to your category using the checklist above. If a photo is blurry or doesn't show an angle you need, ask for more; a good agent expects this and will get extra shots. Take your time on high-value items like bags and watches, where the details matter most and are hardest to fix after shipping.

What to do if something's wrong

If you spot an issue at QC, don't approve — tell us what's wrong. Depending on the problem, we go back to the seller for a replacement, request a correction (like a re-print on a jersey), or arrange a refund if the item can't be made right. This is exactly why the QC step exists and why you should use it fully. Once you approve, the item ships, so the QC review is the moment to be thorough. There's no rush from our side — we'd rather you take an extra day and be happy than approve quickly and be disappointed.

Category-specific QC, in short

Each category has its own priorities. For shoes, the logo shape and tooling are the giveaways. For clothing, fabric weight matters more than anything visible. For jerseys, double-check the name spelling and number above all. For bags, go deep on leather and hardware. For watches, the movement and dial details count most. The checklist above adapts to each, so switch the category selector to match what you're inspecting.

Why this protects you

The reason buying through an agent is safe comes down to this step. You're never sending money to an anonymous seller and hoping for the best — the agent holds the item, photographs it, and only ships after you've inspected and approved. That structure, combined with a careful QC review on your end, removes nearly all the risk from the process. Use this checklist on every order and you'll rarely be surprised by what arrives.

Frequently asked questions

What does QC mean when buying from Yupoo?
QC means quality check — your agent photographs the actual item before shipping and sends the photos for your approval. Nothing ships until you've inspected it and said yes, which lets you catch defects, wrong sizes or batch swaps before they leave China.
What should I look at in QC photos?
It depends on the category, but generally: logo and shape accuracy, stitching, colour against a retail reference, tags, and finishing. Use the interactive checklist above and switch it to your category. Ask for extra angles if a photo is unclear.
What if I find a problem at QC?
Don't approve — tell your agent. Depending on the issue we get a replacement, request a correction, or arrange a refund. The QC step exists precisely so problems are fixed before shipping rather than after.
Is QC really necessary?
Yes — it's the single most important protection in the process and the most commonly skipped. A careful QC review is what stands between you and an item you're unhappy with, so always do it properly.
