For shoppers focused on product accuracy and quality, MuleBuy’s Quality Control (QC) service offers transparency before shipment. Using a real order example, we’ll demonstrate how the platform verifies items through detailed QC images, inspection criteria, and resolution processes—helping buyers make informed decisions.
What QC Services Does MuleBuy Offer?
MuleBuy provides the following QC checks for eligible products:

QC Image Clarity & Standards
To ensure usable QC images, MuleBuy requires:
| Resolution: | Minimum 2000×2000 pixels (zoom-enabled for defects) |
| Lighting: | No shadows/glare obscuring details |
| Reference Objects: | Include size comparison (e.g., ruler or coin) upon request |
How to Review QC Images Before Shipping
- Log in to your MuleBuy account and navigate to "My Orders."
- Click "QC Photos" under the pending shipment (available 1-3 days after ordering).
- Hover to zoom or download images for closer inspection.
Requesting QC Adjustments or Rechecks
If issues arise (e.g., unclear photos or mismatched items):
- Use the "Request Re-check" button with specific notes (e.g., "Please reshoot left shoe sole").
- Contact live chat within 24 hours of QC upload for prioritized revisions.
Note:
Does MuleBuy Allow Additional QC Photos? Understanding Limitations
While standard QC includes 6+ images, buyers can:
- Request 2-3 extra detail shots before
- Pay a small fee (∼$2) for supplemental angles post-QC if the warehouse still has the item.
Restrictions apply to time-sensitive purchases (e.g., presale items with tight shipping deadlines).
Key Takeaways: Balancing QC Thoroughness and Efficiency
MuleBuy’s QC system is designed for pre-shipment validation but requires proactive buyer engagement. To optimize results:
- Check QC photos promptly upon notification.
- Communicate revision requests clearly with visual references.
- Understand that minor batch variations may not qualify for returns.
For replica-heavy categories like sneakers, QC plays a crucial role in identifying factory flaws—making it a valuable but time-bound feature of MuleBuy’s service.
