Quality-check (QC) photos are the safety net that turns a Usfans spreadsheet row into a confident order. This walkthrough shows exactly what to look for in a real QC gallery.

What a QC gallery contains

A typical QC gallery includes 6 to 12 photos: front, back, tag, stitching close-ups, sole (for shoes), zipper close-ups (for jackets), and one wide shot for scale. The best sellers add a note listing measurements.

Checklist for reviewing photos

  • Colour: compare to the seller render under similar lighting. Small shift is fine; a completely different tone is a red flag.
  • Stitching: even spacing, no loose threads, tight seams at stress points.
  • Print: sharp edges, no ink bleeding, correct placement relative to the logo.
  • Tags: care label and size tag both present and readable.
  • Hardware: zippers, buttons and metal snaps should look and feel solid.

What to say if something looks off

Send the seller a short, polite note pointing at the exact issue and photo number. Most disputes are resolved quickly when the buyer describes the problem precisely instead of vaguely rejecting the item.

Great QC reading habits pair nicely with the shoes deep dive and the jackets guide. Come back to the Usfans Spreadsheet homepage for more.

Frequently asked questions

What is in a typical QC gallery?

Six to twelve photos: front, back, tag, stitching close-ups, sole or zipper details, and a wide shot for scale. Better sellers add measurements too.

What should I check first?

Colour and stitching. Anything else can be lived with; those two decide whether the item is worth the shipping cost.

How do I request more photos?

A short polite note asking for the specific angle you need. Most sellers oblige when the request is specific.

What if something looks off?

Point at the exact issue and photo number in a short message. Precise complaints resolve faster than vague ones.
