The words first
QC, GL, and RL
- QC — quality check. Your agent receives the item, photographs it, and waits for you.
- GL — green light. You approve the item, and it joins your parcel.
- RL — red light. You reject the item. The agent returns it, or holds it while you decide.
The photos are the evidence. GL or RL is the decision. Most people keep the
evidence in one place and make the decision in another.
Why the chat scroll fails
The photos outlive the message
A ten-item haul produces forty or more QC photos across days. They land in the
agent dashboard, or a Discord thread, or a chat window with three other orders
in it. By the time you compare item six against its listing, item two has
scrolled off.
Worse, the thing you need beside the QC photo is not in the chat at all: the
seller photo you bought from, the price you paid, and the size you picked.
In Credenza
The photos live on the item
- Save QC photos to the card that already holds the link, the price, the seller, and your size.
- Free keeps 4 QC photos an item. Pro keeps 12.
- The card shows a stage and a plain sub-label: QC reads “photos waiting”, not a bare initial.
- One tap approves QC and moves the item to GL. Nothing else to fill in.
- RL has no one-tap next step, on purpose. Send back or keep is a real decision.
The track
Want → Bought → Shipped → Received
Four stops, because that is what a buyer actually experiences. QC, GL, and RL
are not a fifth stop — they are where the order sits inside Bought, while the
agent holds it. The card says which.
- QC — photos waiting.
- GL — QC passed, ready to ship.
- RL — QC failed, your call.
What to check
Compare against what you bought
- Stitching, logo shape, and font against the seller photos on the same card.
- Color under the agent's lighting, which is rarely the seller's lighting.
- The measurement you sized on. A chart said 56 cm chest; the tape in the QC photo is the real answer.
- Damage, marks, and the wrong size shipped. These are the common RL reasons.
Before the parcel closes
Decide while the choice still exists
Once the agent packs a parcel, an RL costs a repack or a return. Sort the QC
stage first, then plan the parcel. The
haul view shows which items still
wait on you.
Second opinion
Share the item, not your whole shelf
Unsure about a QC photo? Publish a read-only link with only the items you want
reviewed, and post it where you already ask. You choose which fields go in, so
prices can stay off. Delete the link when the thread ends. See
how to share a haul list.
Credenza is a decision layer, not a marketplace and not a W2C search engine.
You bring the links from communities and stores you already use.
