Put your order note beside the photos
Compare the received item with your saved colour, size and quantity. Read the label rather than guessing from the silhouette. For a set, count the pieces and look for accessories that were included in the listing.
Colour can shift under warehouse lighting. If a difference is significant, ask for another view rather than trying to settle it from one photograph.
Give each category its own checklist
| Item | Useful checks |
|---|---|
| Hoodie or shirt | Front and back, collar, cuffs, seam lines, label and requested measurements. |
| Trousers | Waist, rise, inseam, fastening and pocket stitching. |
| Shoes | Both shoes together, size labels, soles, heel shape and any visible damage. |
| Accessories | Piece count, dimensions, clasp or fastening and close-up surface condition. |
A useful request names the missing detail: “Please show the inside size label” is more actionable than “Please check quality.”
Know what a photo leaves unanswered
Photos cannot tell you how a fabric feels, how long a fastening will last or whether a material claim is accurate. A neat-looking item is not an authentication result. For forwarded goods, Pikobuy’s terms also distinguish visual inspection from specialist testing.
Our catalogue is a source list, so it does not attach QC approvals or product ratings to items we have not ordered.
When the spreadsheet source explicitly labels a photo as QC, the item can show a QC reference link. Open it to inspect the picture and its source. A reference may show another colour, size or batch; check your own warehouse photos before shipping.
Decide while action is still possible
Keep an item on hold if a missing measurement could change your decision. Where a problem may require a return, check the current policy promptly. Do not assume that waiting for another item in the haul extends a return window.
