QC
Photos taken after the item reaches a warehouse. They matter more than listing images because they show the actual item being handled for your order.
Find
A product lead worth checking. A find is not automatically a recommendation; it still needs comparison, seller review, and QC.
Spreadsheet row
One entry inside a product sheet. A row may include a product name, source link, price, image, category, QC reference, or notes. Read it as a starting point, not proof that the item is current or safe to order.
Source link
The original product page on a marketplace or seller platform. Source links matter because they show variations, stock clues, seller details, size notes, and product photos that a spreadsheet may summarize too briefly.
Duplicate row
A repeated product lead that appears in more than one sheet or more than once inside the same sheet. Duplicates can make an item look more popular than it really is, so compare the underlying source link before trusting the row.
Agent
A service used to buy, inspect, store, and ship items. Buyers often use spreadsheets to find products before sending them through an agent workflow.
Haul
A group of items shipped together. Good haul planning balances item value, weight, restrictions, and what you actually need.
Batch
A version or production run of an item. Two rows can point to the same style but different batches, which may explain price or QC differences.
Warehouse photos
Photos taken after purchase and before international shipping. Use them to verify shape, color, labels, measurements, and obvious defects.
Shipping line
The carrier route used to send your parcel internationally. The best line depends on item type, destination, weight, restrictions, and how much tracking or speed matters to you.
Volumetric weight
A shipping calculation based on parcel size instead of only physical weight. Bulky shoes, jackets, boxes, and bags can cost more because they take up space even when they are not heavy.
Exchange or return
A request made before international shipping when QC shows a problem. Whether it works depends on seller policy, timing, and whether the issue is clear enough to justify the request.
Red flag
A warning sign that should slow you down: missing measurements, weak QC photos, inactive seller clues, hidden defects, unclear source links, fragile items, battery restrictions, or a total cost that only works if everything goes perfectly.
Where to go next
Start with how the buying flow works if you are new, use the QC checklist when you are deciding on a saved row, or open the MuleBuy spreadsheet to browse current finds.
