How to QC Your Haul Like a Pro: MuleBuy Spreadsheet Standards
The 8-Point QC Checklist
Stitching: Even spacing, no loose threads, correct color
Logo: Placement, size, and font match retail reference
Material: Texture, thickness, and sheen consistent with retail
Shape: Overall silhouette matches retail proportions
Tags: Wash tags, size tags, and hang tags present and correct
Color: Matches retail under natural lighting
Hardware: Zippers, buttons, eyelets function and match
Smell: Chemical smell indicates poor materials—request exchange
Our community has standardized an 8-point checklist that catches 95% of common flaws. Use it every time you review QC photos before approving your items for shipment.
Using Reference Images
Always have retail reference images open in a second tab. The MuleBuy Spreadsheet includes reference galleries for most popular items. Side-by-side comparison is the only reliable way to spot subtle flaws.
When to RL (Red Light)
Red Lighting means rejecting an item. Do not feel guilty—sellers expect a 10-15% RL rate. Common RL reasons include crooked logos, wrong colors, bad stitching, and incorrect tags. Be specific in your RL reason so the agent can communicate with the seller.
Tools We Recommend
A few simple tools make QC dramatically easier. A phone screen with retail images, a ruler for sizing, and a color picker app for matching shades.
