QC photos are your only chance to catch problems. Here is what Reddit users flag most often and how to inspect your own photos.
Universal QC Checklist
Category-Specific Red Flags
Shoes
Check midsole density, heel stitching, toe box symmetry, and insole print clarity.
Hoodies
Verify fabric GSM, embroidery thread density, drawstring tips, and cuff elasticity.
T-Shirts
Inspect collar ribbing, print alignment, hem straightness, and blank color accuracy.
Jackets
Confirm zipper branding, lining attachment, seam taping, and hardware weight.
Accessories
Examine stitch density on small panels, edge finishing, and logo engraving depth.
Agent Shortcuts to Spot
Request retakes if you notice any of these shortcuts in your QC photo set.
- •Angled shots that hide heel cup alignment or collar construction
- •Overexposed lighting that blows out color differences
- •Cropped photos that cut off stitching or edge details
- •Compressed images that lose resolution when zoomed
- •Missing measurement photos for size-critical items
Requesting Additional Photos
Identify Gaps
Note exactly which angles or details are missing from the base set
Be Specific
Request exact shots: 'close-up of heel stitching from 6 inches' not 'more shoe photos'
Offer to Pay
Mention you will cover additional photo fees. Agents prioritize paid requests.
Set Deadline
Ask for a turnaround time. 24-48 hours is standard for additional photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
Base packages include 3-5 photos. For shoes, expect 5-8. For clothing, 4-6 is typical. Always confirm with your agent before ordering.
