Seven-point pre-save check

ParcelUp Spreadsheet Checklist Before Saving a Find

Give every possible row the same small test. The score is not a quality guarantee; it is a way to notice missing context before a vague link takes over your shortlist.

Save a ParcelUp find only when it fits the category, shows useful photos, provides sizing where needed, makes sense beside similar prices, remains sensible after weight, avoids vague hype and has a reason you can state clearly.

The seven-point checklist

  • The item belongs in the category I am browsing.
  • Photos show the details that matter for this product type.
  • Sizing, measurements or fit notes are visible when needed.
  • Price makes sense beside similar finds.
  • Shipping weight does not ruin the value.
  • The row is not just hype or a vague label.
  • I can explain why I would save this find.

Count one point for each statement you can support from visible information. Do not award half a point because you hope the external page will fill the gap later.

Score your row

6–7: strong shortlist candidate
The row gives you enough context to compare it closely. It still needs external checking.
4–5: research more
Write down the missing evidence and look for it before saving.
2–3: weak row
The link is doing more work than the information. Prefer a clearer candidate.
0–1: remove for now
There is no practical basis for keeping the row in the shortlist.

A high checklist score means “well documented enough to compare.” It does not mean verified seller, safe order or guaranteed product quality.

QC photos should answer category questions

Quality-check photos are useful only when they show the details that can change your decision. Whether the pictures came from a warehouse or another gallery, they must match the current row. Four well-chosen images can be more useful than a large gallery of repeated angles.

Useful QC views by product category
CategoryUseful QC viewsCommon gap
Shoes and sneakersBoth side profiles, toe, heel, outsole, size labelNo sole or paired comparison
Hoodies and shirtsFront, back, measurements, cuffs, collar, fabric close-upOnly a front print image
JacketsFront, back, lining, closure, pockets, garment measurementsNo inside or shoulder view
BagsScale, base, hardware, closure, strap, lining, pocketsNo dimensions or interior
Watches and jewelryScale, side profile, dial or finish, clasp, markingsBright studio image without close detail

A photo finder may help locate images, but you still have to match them to the correct row and decide whether the angles answer your question.

A size chart is useful only when its units and garment dimensions are clear. Compare the current listing with something you already own instead of relying on the size label alone.

Good row and weak row examples

Good row example

Category: hoodie. Evidence: chest and length measurements, front/back photos, cuff and fabric close-ups, matching source title, a weight note and price context beside two similar hoodies. Save reason: clearest fit evidence in the comparison.

Score: 7/7. Continue to the external page and re-check details.

Weak row example

Category: unclear “top.” Evidence: one front image, S–XL options without measurements, “best find” label and a low visible price. No weight or source context.

Score: 2/7. Remove unless new information appears.

The one-sentence save rule

Save the row only if you can say: “I am keeping this category because specific evidence, and the next thing I need to check is one unresolved question.”

This sentence turns a collection into a working shortlist. It also makes duplicate rows easy to spot: if two saves have the same reason, keep the clearer one.

What to do next

A 6–7 row is ready for closer external review, not for an automatic order. Recheck that the page still matches, compare current visible details, and use official channels for accounts, payment, shipping, tracking, coupons, support or refunds.
