LitBuy QC Workflow — Spreadsheet References vs Warehouse Photos

QC (Quality Control) on the Litbuy Spreadsheet means two different things: historical buyer albums in the row (spreadsheet QC) and fresh photos LitBuy takes when your item lands in warehouse (agent QC). You need both — spreadsheet QC to choose the row, LitBuy QC to approve international shipping.

Spreadsheet QC shows what other buyers received from a seller/batch combination — often Imgur albums linked in the row. It ages quickly; a March album does not guarantee July stock.

LitBuy warehouse QC is your order's ground truth: 3–6 standard photos per item (five included in 2026 policy). Zoom these before GL — green light to ship internationally. RL means return/exchange inside the seller window before you pay freight.

Batch remarks that prevent swaps

The #1 RL reason on r/Repsneakers is batch substitution — you ordered LJR, warehouse shows budget foam. Paste into LitBuy remarks exactly what the spreadsheet Notes column says: `Please send LJR batch only`, `Please send GX batch only`, `Please send M Batch only` for Dunks.

If the row links a QC album, add: `Please match QC from [Imgur URL]`. Agents forward remarks; sellers read them when picking stock.

Request extra angles in remarks for callout colorways: heel embroidery close-up, inner size tag, wings logo height on Jordan 1, compass badge stitch on Stone Island.

Jordan 1 / Dunk / AF1: wings or swoosh placement, toe-box shape, heel suede movement, outsole stars, inner size tag font.

Jordan 4 / Yeezy: mesh window alignment, midsole glue lines, heel tab shape, reflective stripe on TNs.

Compare left vs right shoe — budget batches often show symmetrical flaws on both sides.

Tech Fleece / hoodies: measure flat lay chest and length against listing size chart; check zipper pull branding and cuff ribbing.

Stone Island / badges: compass rose stitch density, button engraving, badge attachment angle.

Gucci wallets: GG canvas grain at fold crease, interior heat-stamp font, tiger embroidery eye spacing.

Upload LitBuy photos to Imgur. Title: `[QC] [Item] [Batch] from LitBuy`. Comment the spreadsheet W2C link. r/Repsneakers for shoes, r/FashionReps for apparel, r/DesignerReps for luxury accessories.

Community GL/RL is advice — you decide tolerance. Minor stitching on a daily beater may GL; resale-focused buyers RL small logo flaws.

QC focus by spreadsheet category

Category	Spreadsheet QC use	LitBuy warehouse zoom
Sneakers	Batch + silhouette reference	Logo, toe-box, heel, sole
Hoodies / fleece	GSM, zipper brand	Measurements, cuffs, tags
Wallets / bags	Canvas grain, stamp font	Interior stamp, stitching
Caps / tees	Embroidery density	Logo alignment, wash tag

GL vs RL decision

Signal	Typical action
Wrong batch shipped	RL — exchange before intl ship
Major logo / shape error	RL
Minor glue / stitch (daily wear)	Personal GL tolerance
Size tag mismatch listing	RL if seller sent wrong SKU

LitBuy includes standard QC photos — ask for video walk-through in remarks on $200+ sneaker rows.

Spreadsheet QC dated over 90 days ago + no recent Reddit W2C = higher batch-swap risk.

How many QC photos does LitBuy include?

Five standard warehouse photos per order in 2026 — request heel/tag close-ups in remarks for Jordan and Dunk rows.

Can I RL after international shipping?

No — RL/exchange must happen before you approve international freight. After ship, options are limited to disputes and local returns.

Spreadsheet QC looks perfect but warehouse RL?

Factories rotate tiers. That is why batch remarks and current-month albums matter — not just the spreadsheet thumbnail.

What if QC photos are blurry?

Request retake in LitBuy support chat before GL. Agents can re-shoot within the warehouse window.
