What are QC photos?
QC photos are inspection images normally taken after an ordered product reaches a warehouse. They provide a practical visual record of the received item, its selected version and visible condition before parcel submission.
Product images vs QC photos
Product images appear before purchase and help identify the style, color and basic product type. QC photos are created later and show the individual item received. Lighting, distance and camera angle can differ, so compare structure and details rather than expecting identical color reproduction.
Shoe QC checklist
- Confirm the pair, selected size and color.
- Compare left and right shoe shape and alignment.
- Review side profiles, heel shape, sole edges and visible stitching.
- Check size labels and any measurement photo provided.
Browse the Sugargoo shoes spreadsheet when you want to compare footwear before ordering.
Clothing QC checklist
- Confirm the garment type, color and selected size.
- Review front and back alignment, collar or hood shape and sleeve length.
- Check seams, closures, print placement and visible marks.
- Compare measurement photos with an item that already fits.
Use the hoodies, T-shirts and jackets categories for focused comparisons.
Bag and accessory QC checklist
- Confirm dimensions, color and included parts.
- Review straps, handles, closures and adjustment points.
- Inspect edges, seams, hardware and interior layout.
- Check compatibility or sizing for accessories that must fit another item.

When to re-check details before shipping
Re-check whenever the selected size, color, measurements, included parts or visible condition are uncertain. Compare the QC photos with the order record and current product details before submitting the parcel.
