Why this page is different
Every /agents/basetao page uses a unique 3-card decision header so Google sees distinct content, not a template copy. The copy is written for BaseTao’s real 2026 characteristics (fee Not publicly verified, 5 QC photos, 180d storage) and links with ref=kakobuy.homes for attribution.
Inside BaseTao warehouse
BaseTao photographs items within 1–3 days after seller delivery. You get 5 free QC photos per item (front, back, tag, detail, pair compare when relevant). Resolution is high — request extra angles if the logo is blurry or the color shifts between shots. Video QC is Not publicly verified, measurement photo Not publicly verified, and defect marking Not publicly verified. Use the photos to GL or request RL before consolidation — after international shipping, returns to the seller are much harder.

- Ask for pit-to-pit + length on hoodies/jackets
- Compare left vs right for sneakers; monogram alignment for bags
- Return window respects 180d free storage — don’t wait until day 180 to decide
