When to Request an Exchange

Acceptable Minor Flaws

Slightly off-center interior tag, small loose thread, minor color variation under artificial light. These do not affect the worn appearance.

Unacceptable Major Flaws

Wrong logo placement, incorrect color, poor stitching, wrong shape, missing accessories. These affect the item's appearance and value.

Pro Tips for QC Review

Save Retail References Before Ordering

Collect official retail photos from multiple angles before you place your order. This makes QC comparison faster and more accurate.

Ask for Natural Light Retakes

If colors look suspicious, request retakes in natural light. Most warehouses do this for free or a small fee.

Check Community QC Photos First

Browse recent QC photos from other buyers for the same batch. This gives you a baseline for what to expect.
