01

Match the warehouse item to the order first

Open the stored item alongside the original order. Compare the colour, size label, quantity and selected option before judging small details. This prevents a clear photo of the wrong variant from being mistaken for a satisfactory order.

OOPBUY’s inspection information describes checks with limits. Visible inspection does not establish how an item performs in use, and specialist or sealed goods may receive only restricted checks. Decide which questions the available photographs can actually answer.

02

Inspect the details that matter for the product type

Work from an overall view to close-ups. Look for a missing piece, an obvious mismatch between a pair, a visible stain or damage before concentrating on minor finishing. Compare the same area from more than one angle when lighting or perspective could be misleading.

For garments, a label confirms the supplied size marking, while a measurement helps assess dimensions. For shoes, photographs can show construction and visible symmetry but cannot reproduce walking comfort. Keep those conclusions separate.

03

Request one clear photo or measurement for each uncertainty

If a detail could change your decision, identify the item and the exact view you need. A vague request to “check quality” gives the warehouse no clear task. Ask whether an additional photo or measurement service is available and check its charge before ordering it.

For measurements, specify the endpoints and units. Ask for a ruler to be visible and the item laid flat without stretching. For a suspected defect, request a close-up plus enough surrounding area to locate it on the product.

04

Choose between approval, another check and after-sales

When the order matches and the visible details are acceptable, record the review result and keep the item ready for your parcel. If one decisive detail is unclear, wait for that specific check before submitting it for shipment.

For a wrong option, missing component or visible defect, open an order inquiry or after-sales request with the relevant evidence. Check the deadline and eligibility while the goods are at the warehouse. Preserve the original photos rather than editing them in a way that obscures the issue.

05

Save the evidence and check the parcel contents

Keep the order number, relevant images, requested measurements and the result of any support discussion together. If several similar items are stored, attach each review to its own warehouse record so that an approved item is not confused with one awaiting action.

Before parcel submission, confirm that the selected items are the ones you approved and that no return or further check is pending. Once goods leave the warehouse, resolving a product issue may require a different and more costly process.

Questions about photo coverage and lighting

How many QC photos are enough?

There is no useful universal count. You need readable views of the identifiers and details that affect your decision; several nearly identical wide shots may leave the same question unanswered.

Can lighting explain a colour mismatch?

It can affect appearance, but that does not prove the item is correct. Compare the order’s colour option and ask for a clearer view if the difference matters.
