How CSSBuy QC Works

6 simple steps from order to approval

1

Place Your Order

Order any product through the CSSBuy spreadsheet. Your item ships to the CSSBuy warehouse from the seller.

2

Warehouse Receipt

When your item arrives, warehouse staff log it into the system and assign a QC inspector within 24–48 hours.

3

Photo Inspection

Inspectors photograph every angle — front, back, sides, detail shots, packaging, and labels.

4

Buyer Review

You receive a notification. Review QC photos in your account and decide to approve or reject the item.

5

Approve & Ship

Approved items join your consolidation queue. Rejected items start the return process with the seller.

6

Consolidated Shipping

All approved items are bundled and shipped internationally via your chosen carrier.
