How to QC on Loongbuy
Master quality control on Loongbuy. Learn what to check in QC photos before approving shipping for shoes, clothing, and accessories.
Quality Control (QC) is the most critical step in the Loongbuy buying process. These photos show your actual item before it ships from China. Learning to read them properly can save you from receiving flawed products and the hassle of returns or reshipping.
The Golden Rule of QC
Never approve shipping until you have examined every photo. A 2-minute QC check can prevent weeks of disappointment. If something looks off, request additional photos of specific areas. The $0.50 photo fee is always worth it.
