Senior Reviews Editor
Footwear and apparel quality control, fit checks, and packaging condition.
Callum Reyes runs the hands-on review desk at SugarGooKakoBuy, ordering footwear and garments, measuring them on the bench and writing the QC notes in each review. Every item is photographed on a grey card under fixed lighting, garments are measured flat and on three body types, and footwear is checked against a measured foot-length chart. Seam strength, print alignment, tag placement and box condition are recorded as separate observations. Callum then compares the agent's QC images with the items received, bringing the pre-shipment photographs and arrival checks into the article.
