Warehouse tool
OOPBuy QC request builder
Prepare the question before warehouse photos arrive so each requested image has a clear decision purpose.
Use this request formula
Item + exact option + visible question + angle or measurement method + reference point.
Example structure: “For order [record], option [color/size], please photograph [visible area] straight-on in neutral light, with [edge/ruler/reference] fully visible.”
Request matrix
| Decision | Useful visible evidence | Common limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Variant match | Label, color, model mark and included parts in one sequence | A label itself may be wrong or incomplete. |
| Size check | Ruler or tape aligned from named endpoints | Perspective and loose tape can distort a reading. |
| Surface condition | Close, evenly lit image of the exact area | Lighting can hide texture or color differences. |
| Shape / symmetry | Centered front, rear, side and top views | Camera angle can create apparent asymmetry. |
| Hardware / closures | Close views plus opened and closed positions | A still image cannot prove long-term durability. |
What QC cannot establish
QC photos show visible information from a particular photographed item. They cannot prove authenticity, internal composition, odor, comfort, durability, seller reliability or the outcome of international shipping. A clear image is evidence of appearance, not a general quality certificate.
Approval note
Record each issue as accepted, unresolved or blocking. If a required angle or measurement is absent, keep it unresolved instead of interpreting silence as a pass.
QC questions
How many extra photos should I request?
Request only the minimum views needed to answer the unresolved decision. The count depends on the item and missing evidence.
Can QC photos prove authenticity?
No. They can document visible features of the photographed item but cannot establish authenticity or hidden construction.
Sources and limits
A public OOPBuy product page states that QC photos follow warehouse arrival and also presents an authenticity limitation. The request framework is independent editorial guidance.
