WAREHOUSE EVIDENCE
SpanBuy QC Guide
A practical method for reading warehouse photographs, comparing visible details and separating supported observations from unsupported conclusions.
QUICK ANSWER
Use QC photos to check visible evidence
Warehouse QC photographs help compare the received item with the selected product and variant. They can reveal visible color, labels, seams, alignment, marks, measurements and packaging condition. They cannot prove hidden materials, performance, long-term durability or authenticity by themselves.
Scenario: Reviewing a Pair of Sneakers
A user ordered a low-top sneaker in a specific size and color. The first task is not deciding whether the shoe is “good”; it is confirming whether the visible item matches the selected version. Check the size label, overall silhouette, left-to-right symmetry, upper-to-sole join, color under several images and any obvious marks.
Visible Evidence vs Information Requiring Confirmation
QC photos can support
- Visible color and shape comparison
- Labels shown in the image
- Obvious marks or packaging damage
- Measurements with clear ruler placement
- Left-to-right symmetry from matching angles
QC photos cannot confirm alone
- Hidden materials or internal construction
- Personal comfort or long-term durability
- Performance during real use
- Authenticity or seller claims
- Details outside the photographed area
QC Evidence Table
| Check | Useful evidence | What it cannot prove |
|---|---|---|
| Variant | Size label, color and visible model details | Internal construction |
| Condition | Marks, dents, loose threads and packaging damage | Future durability |
| Alignment | Side-by-side and straight-on views | Comfort in use |
| Measurements | Clear ruler placement and endpoints | Fit without comparing personal measurements |
A Repeatable Review Method
- Confirm the order and selected variant.
- Review the full item before zooming into details.
- Compare left, right, front, back and label views where available.
- Record specific concerns rather than saying only “looks wrong.”
- Use the platform’s current support options before parcel submission.
Common QC Mistakes
- Judging color from one image under warehouse lighting.
- Ignoring the selected size or variant while checking appearance.
- Calling an item authentic or fake from limited photographs alone.
- Requesting help without identifying the exact photo and visible concern.
