What QC Photos Show

  • Stitching quality — even stitches, no loose threads
  • Material texture — leather quality, fabric feel, color accuracy
  • Logo placement — correct position, sizing, and embroidery quality
  • Shape and structure — proper form, no deformities
  • Color accuracy — matching expected color, no fading
  • Details and hardware — zippers, buttons, laces, tags

What to Do If QC Fails

  • Request a replacement from the seller before shipping
  • Return the item and order from a different batch
  • RL (Red Light) — reject items with unacceptable flaws
  • GL (Green Light) — approve if item meets your standards
  • Use trusted sellers for better replacement policies

What does GL and RL mean?

GL = Green Light (approve), RL = Red Light (reject).

Can I request more QC photos?

Yes, most agents can take additional photos for a small fee.

What if the seller refuses replacement?

Use trusted sellers with good return policies.
