Hoobuy Spreadsheet: How to Track QC Results and Shipping Weight Together
Managing your group buys effectively requires meticulous organization of multiple data points. Two of the most critical elements are Quality Control (QC) results and item weight. By integrating these into a single, streamlined system, you can gain powerful insights and save significant time and money.
The Problem: Disconnected Data
Traditionally, buyers often handle QC and shipping data separately:
- QC photos are reviewed in one platform (e.g., an image album or chat).
- Item weights are recorded elsewhere, often only after everything is packed.
This disconnection makes it difficult to get a complete picture of your haul's status and potential cost until the last minute, often after
The Solution: The Hoobuy Tracking Spreadsheet
The Hoobuy Spreadsheet method solves this by combining both datasets into one master document. This creates a holistic view of each item from QC approval to final shipping calculation.
Key Columns for Your Integrated Spreadsheet
| Item Name / Link (Column A) | QC Status (Column B) | QC Notes (Column C) | Weight (g) (Column D) | Status (Shipped/Warehouse) (Column E) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example: Nike Dunk Low "Panda" | Approved | No flaws noticed, GL | 1250 | Warehouse |
| Example: Essentials Hoodie | Red Lighted (RL) | Logo stitching uneven, requested exchange | - | Pending Exchange |
Step-by-Step Workflow

The Major Benefit: Accurate Shipping Cost Prediction

- Sum the weights of all "Approved" items in your spreadsheet.
- Use your agent's shipping calculator with this total estimated weight.
- You now have a reliable cost projection, allowing you to budget correctly and avoid surprises.
