FishGoo Guide: How to Verify Product Authenticity Before Shipping

2026-01-05

A crucial step in the online purchasing process is verifying that the product you've paid for is exactly what the seller has procured. At FishGoo, we emphasize performing a Pre-Shipment Verification

The Core Principle: Compare & Confirm

The most effective method is a direct, meticulous comparison between the seller's original listingQC photos

Step-by-Step Verification Process

  1. Save Original Listing Details

    When you place an order, save clear screenshots or links of the seller's product page. Note key features: model numbers, brand logos, specific color codes, unique design patterns, and any included accessories.

  2. Request Comprehensive QC Photos

    Once your purchasing agent receives the item, request high-resolution QC photos from multiple angles. Essential shots include: front/back/sides, close-ups of logos/tags, serial numbers (if applicable), materials texture, and all included components.

  3. Perform the Side-by-Side Analysis

    Open both the original listing and the QC photos side by side. Systematically check the following:

    • Overall Appearance:
    • Colors & Materials:
    • Logos & Branding:
    • Packaging & Accessories:

Key Red Flags to Identify

❌ Inconsistent Branding

Misspelled brand names, crooked logos, or low-quality label stitching.

❌ Poor Quality Materials

Plastic that looks cheap, leather that appears synthetic, or fabric that differs from the description.

❌ Missing Features

Advertised functionality (e.g., waterproofing, specific hardware) is absent in the QC photos.

❌ Wrong Packaging

Genuine products almost always come with specific, high-quality packaging. Generic boxes are a major warning sign.
