Checking a Labubu QR code without WeChat

Here is what is confirmed. The official overseas help page does not mention WeChat. It tells you to enter the code on the box label on an overseas check page.

We read elsewhere that mainland China items use a WeChat mini program and overseas items use the overseas page. We could not confirm that.

We also could not confirm whether scanning the QR in Korea sends you to WeChat. If you see a WeChat link, paste it into this app to classify it.

1. Scratch off the coating on the box label to show the code.

2. Open the official overseas page m-gss.popmart.com/us yourself and go to QR Verify.

3. Enter the code and read the result.

You enter the code yourself. This app never looks a code up for you.

We found no official note that code entry differs by seller. The steps above stay the same. Below is only what else to check for each seller.

Official store or official online shop

Keep the receipt or order record. Then enter the code.

Resale

Before scratching, get photos of the whole box and the label from the seller. Check whether the price is far below the usual.

Importing from abroad

Compare the seller with the brand's official seller information on its own site. Save the tracking and return terms.

First scan

It reads as this code being looked up for the first time. That alone does not make it genuine.

Multiple scans

It reads as the code having been looked up before. First ask yourself whether you did it earlier.

Maximum scans exceeded

The official page says this result can appear even for genuine items. So this result alone is not a reason to call it fake.

Read all three results together with the box look, the seller and the price.

If the code is worn off or entry keeps failing, contact the brand's customer service. Find the contact on the official help page.

Send your purchase record and box photos with your question. It makes the case easier to explain.

We found no official material on a box code check for Chiikawa goods. So we do not describe any QR or code check for them.

Here are steps that work for any goods. Compare the seller with the official seller information. Check the price and the receipt. If you import, save the tracking and return terms.
