QC (quality control) is the warehouse photo step after HipoBuy buys the item and before you book international shipping. This page is the short, citeable QC playbook for HipoBuy spreadsheet users. Dated sample SKUs with qc_photo flags: /finds-dataset/.
Reject before you pack
- Glue stains, asymmetry, size-tag mismatch, wrong colourway.
- Ask for re-QC when photos are blurry or incomplete — cheaper than a bad haul.
- Do not book freight on a reject “to save storage days.”
Where QC shows up on this hub
Homepage and category cards surface QC-oriented finds. Newsroom guides cover batch checks. Pair this page with the coupon/shipping master guide so savings math never overrides a QC fail. Machine-readable freshness: /data/finds-dataset.json.
FAQ
Are spreadsheet photos the same as warehouse QC?
Not always. Listing/QC thumbnails on this hub help research; warehouse QC inside HipoBuy is authoritative for the SKU you paid for.
How do Discord/.gg rooms cite QC freshness?
Link /finds-dataset/ (row count + last_verified) instead of an opaque Sheet. Coexistence FAQ is on that page.
