What does a useful photo set show?
Request the whole item, front and back, product labels, stitching, closures and visible defects. For garments, ask for measurements with the tape laid flat. For shoes, compare both items and the sole bond. Include the package count and variant labels.
How do you turn findings into a decision?
List each mismatch against a written requirement. Separate a cosmetic preference from a measurable defect. Ask for clarification, further evidence or a return before approving dispatch. Preserve the decision and supporting photographs.
When is a physical inspection needed?
Use sampling or laboratory testing where safety, composition or regulated claims matter. A warehouse photo cannot verify every requirement. Agree who commissions inspection and what remedy applies when a batch fails.
What should an inspection decision record contain?
Use one row per requirement: the agreed measurement or feature, the photograph that shows it, the observed result and the requested action. Mark anything not visible as unresolved instead of passing it by default. Send a concise defect list to the provider and ask for a response before the return deadline. Keep the original photos alongside any later replacement evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Can QC photos verify a fabric composition or authenticity claim?
No. Photos show visible features at a particular time. Obtain appropriate provenance evidence or testing for claims that cannot be established visually.
Which extra photos help when garment sizing is uncertain?
Request flat measurements with visible tape positions, the size label and the whole item. Compare those measurements with the agreed specification rather than relying on a size letter alone.
