Quick answer
Start with the product type. Shoes need useful fit and pair photos; clothing needs garment measurements and construction details; accessories need dimensions, included parts and close-ups.
Shoes: inspect the pair and the measurement method
Compare the left and right shoe, side profiles, heel, toe area, sole and visible finish. Check that the ordered size and colour appear on the received item. If you request a length measurement, specify whether you need an insole measurement and how it should be taken.

Clothing: check measurements before size letters
For tops, compare chest width, body length, shoulders and sleeves. For trousers and shorts, compare waist, rise and inseam. Review seams, collar, cuffs, fasteners and print placement where visible. A heavier-looking garment still needs material information; appearance alone does not establish composition.
| Product | Measurements to compare | Photos worth checking |
|---|---|---|
| Hoodie or T-shirt | Chest width, body and sleeve length | Collar, cuffs, seams and print. |
| Jacket | Chest, shoulders and room over an inner layer | Lining, zip, pockets and padded areas. |
| Pants or shorts | Waist, rise, inseam and leg opening | Waistband, hem, pockets and seams. |
Accessories: verify scale and included parts
Check dimensions, closures, straps, hardware and accessories against the listing. A close-up needs a scale reference when size matters. For fragile or moving parts, ask what inspection is possible and what packaging will protect them; do not infer function from a still image.
Choose checks that could change the decision
For a shoe purchase, a visible size label and photos of both shoes may settle identity, while an unclear insole length can still affect fit. For a jacket, compare chest and sleeve measurements with one you own, then inspect the zip and lining in the received item. For a bag, check dimensions with a ruler and confirm straps, closures and included pieces.
Avoid asking for a large set of generic photos. Ask for the missing view that would actually change your decision. If the uncertainty is hidden material, long-term wear or authenticity, ordinary warehouse images will not resolve it; decide whether the remaining risk is acceptable before dispatch.
- Identity first: correct option and quantity.
- Fit or scale second: category-specific measurements.
- Visible condition third: a close-up of the relevant detail.
Before you move on
- Choose checks that match the product type.
- Confirm the selected variant and relevant measurements.
- Ask for a photo of a specific missing detail.
- Resolve the issue before arranging international shipment.
A few details to clear up
Should every product use the same checklist?
Use identity and visible-condition checks for all items, then add category-specific measurements and details.
Can an image confirm fabric or material composition?
A photo can show appearance and some surface details. It cannot reliably establish hidden construction or composition.
How to use this checklist
This is an editorial product-research checklist. Measurements, images and current listing details need to be checked for the specific item you select.
For an order, payment, return or parcel enquiry, use the support channel of the service handling it. This directory does not manage those records.
