Quality Control (QC) is the most important step in the Kakobuy spreadsheet shopping experience. Before your items ship from the warehouse, your agent photographs every product so you can verify quality, accuracy, and condition. This beginner-friendly QC guide walks you through exactly what to look for, common red flags, and how to approve or reject items with confidence.
