The Complete QC Checklist for Litbuy Spreadsheet Buyers
Quality control is the most critical step in the Litbuy buying process. This comprehensive checklist covers every element you should inspect before approving shipment. Mastering QC will save you from disappointment and returns.
Why QC Matters
The Litbuy spreadsheet connects you to thousands of batches across multiple sellers. Not every batch is equal. QC photos are your only way to verify the actual product before it leaves the warehouse. Skipping QC is the number one reason buyers regret their purchases.
General QC Checklist (All Categories)
1. Overall Shape and Silhouette
- Does the item match the shape shown in the reference photos?
- Are the proportions correct (length, width, fit)?
- Does the item look the same from the front and back?
2. Stitching Quality
- Are stitches even and consistent?
- Any loose threads, skipped stitches, or fraying?
- Is the stitch density appropriate for the material?
3. Logo and Branding
- Is the logo placement correct (position, size, angle)?
- Does the font match the authentic version?
- Is the embossing, embroidery, or print depth correct?
4. Color Accuracy
- Compare colors to the batch listing and reference photos.
- Check under different lighting if possible.
- Note any color shifts or washed-out areas.
5. Material Texture
- Does the fabric look like the described material?
- Check for unexpected shininess, stiffness, or thinness.
- Compare texture to the batch description.
