How to read shoe and apparel QC
For shoes, look at the shape, the logo placement, the stitching around the sole, and whether both shoes match. For clothing, check the print or embroidery, the colour under normal light (screens can shift colour), and the general finish. QC photos are about spotting obvious problems — a clearly wrong colour, a visible defect, a missing piece — not about grading tiny details under a microscope.
What to do if something is wrong
If the QC photos show a defect or the wrong variant, do not submit the parcel for international shipping yet. Contact Kakobuy support through your order and explain what you see, referring to the specific photo. Depending on the situation and the seller, options may include a replacement or return. Handling this before
The free QC covers the essentials — defects, size and colour — with a standard set of photos. If a particular detail matters to you, such as a specific stitching area or the sole of a shoe, it is worth asking support whether extra angles are possible; some agents offer additional or specialised photo services, sometimes as a paid add-on. Availability and any cost for this change over time, so check the current options on the official Kakobuy site rather than assuming. QC catches problems; it does not turn a budget item into a premium one, and it cannot verify authenticity for third-party sellers. Its job is to confirm you received what you ordered in acceptable condition. Treat the photos as a yes/no gate before shipping: if everything matches your order and looks sound, send it; if not, raise it while the parcel is still in China. Used that way, it is one of the most reassuring parts of the whole process, and a big reason Kakobuy suits beginners. Before you order, it helps to know what a good example looks like.
