REFUND POLICY
This Refund Policy governs the terms and conditions for requesting and processing refunds for products purchased from our cross-border e-commerce independent website. By placing an order, you acknowledge and agree to the provisions outlined below. We are committed to providing fair, transparent, and efficient refund services, ensuring that all refund requests are handled in compliance with international trade regulations and consumer protection standards. This policy is subject to periodic updates to reflect changes in our operations, regulatory requirements, or industry best practices; any revisions will be posted on this page without prior notice, and your continued use of our services constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
1. ELIGIBILITY FOR REFUNDS
Refunds are only available for eligible orders that meet the criteria specified in this section. To qualify for a refund, your request must be submitted within the applicable timeframe, and you must provide valid proof (e.g., photos, tracking information, product details) to support your claim. The following scenarios are eligible for a refund:
1.1 Defective or Damaged Products
A product is considered defective if it arrives with manufacturing flaws, functional issues, or damage that occurred during shipping (not caused by improper use after delivery). Examples include broken components, non-functional electronics, missing parts, or products that do not match the description on the website. To be eligible for a refund for a defective or damaged product, you must:
-
Inspect the product immediately upon delivery (within 7 calendar days of receipt).
-
Take clear, high-resolution photos/videos of the defect, damage, and the original packaging (including any shipping labels or damage to the outer box).
-
Submit a refund request within 14 calendar days of receiving the product, including the photos/videos and a detailed description of the issue.
Products that become defective due to improper use, accidental damage, neglect, or modification after delivery are not eligible for a refund.
1.2 Incorrect or Mismatched Products
If you receive a product that is different from what you ordered (e.g., wrong size, color, model, or a completely different item), you are eligible for a full refund. To qualify, you must:
-
Submit a refund request within 10 calendar days of receiving the product.
-
Provide photos of the received product, the original order confirmation (showing the intended product), and the shipping label.
-
Return the incorrect product in its original, unused condition (with all original packaging, tags, and accessories) if requested by us. We will cover the return shipping costs for incorrect products.
1.3 Undelivered or Lost Packages
If your package is confirmed lost by the shipping carrier (i.e., tracking information shows no delivery update for an extended period, and the carrier has concluded an investigation confirming the package is lost), you are eligible for a full refund (including product price and shipping fee). To qualify:
-
You must wait the minimum investigation period required by the carrier: 21 calendar days for standard shipping, 7 calendar days for expedited/express shipping.
-
Submit a refund request within 7 calendar days of the carrier confirming the package is lost, including the tracking number and a copy of the carrier’s investigation report (if available).
Refunds are not available for undelivered packages caused by an incorrect or incomplete shipping address provided by you, or if the package is unclaimed after multiple delivery attempts (see Section 3.3 for details).
1.4 Pre-Order Cancellations
If you cancel a pre-order before the product is shipped, you are eligible for a full refund. Pre-orders canceled after the product has been shipped are subject to the same refund rules as regular orders. Pre-orders cannot be canceled once the product is in the processing stage (i.e., after the estimated shipping date has passed).
1.5 Non-Eligible Refund Scenarios
The following scenarios arenot eligible for a refund, and all requests will be denied:
-
Change of mind, dislike, or dissatisfaction with the product (unless explicitly stated as a "money-back guarantee" on the product detail page).
-
Products that have been used, worn, washed, or modified (unless the defect is inherent and discovered during normal use).
-
Products with missing original packaging, tags, or accessories (unless the missing items were not included in the original shipment).
-
Refund requests submitted after the applicable timeframe (see Section 1 for specific time limits).
-
Orders canceled after the product has been shipped (unless the product is defective, incorrect, or lost).
-
Customized products (unless the customization is incorrect due to our error).
-
Products damaged during return shipping due to improper packaging by you.
2. REFUND REQUEST PROCESS
To request a refund, you must follow the steps outlined below. Failure to complete these steps may result in delays or denial of your refund request.
2.1 Submitting a Refund Request
-
Log into your account on our website and navigate to the "Order History" section.
-
Select the order for which you wish to request a refund and click "Request Refund."
-
Select the reason for your refund (e.g., defective product, incorrect item, lost package) from the dropdown menu.
-
Upload all required supporting documents (photos, videos, tracking information, etc.) as specified in Section 1.
-
Provide a detailed description of the issue, including the date of delivery (if applicable) and any additional relevant information.
-
Submit the refund request. You will receive a confirmation email acknowledging receipt of your request within 24 business hours.
If you are unable to submit a request through your account, you may submit a request via the designated refund portal (details not provided herein), ensuring you include your order number, contact information, and all supporting documents.
2.2 Refund Review & Approval
We will review your refund request within 3-5 business days of receipt. During the review process, we may contact you to request additional information or documentation to verify your claim. The review timeline may be extended to 7-10 business days for complex cases (e.g., customized products, lost packages requiring carrier investigation).
Once your request is reviewed, you will receive an email notification with the outcome: approved or denied. If approved, the email will include details on the refund amount, processing time, and refund method. If denied, the email will explain the reason for denial and any options available to you (e.g., resubmitting with additional documentation).
2.3 Return of Products (If Required)
For certain refund requests (e.g., defective, incorrect, or damaged products), we may require you to return the product to us for inspection. If a return is required, we will provide you with a pre-paid return shipping label via email within 2 business days of approving your refund request. You must:
-
Package the product securely in its original packaging (or equivalent protective packaging) to prevent damage during return shipping.
-
Attach the pre-paid return shipping label to the package and drop it off at the designated carrier location within 7 calendar days of receiving the label.
-
Retain the return tracking number for your records, as we will use it to track the return shipment.
If you fail to return the product within the specified timeframe, your refund request may be canceled. We are not responsible for return packages lost or damaged during shipping if you do not use the provided pre-paid label or fail to package the product properly.
3. REFUND AMOUNTS & METHODS
3.1 Refund Amounts
-
Defective/Damaged Products: Full refund of the product price and original shipping fee (if applicable). If the product is partially damaged or defective, a partial refund may be offered at our discretion, based on the extent of the damage.
-
Incorrect Products: Full refund of the product price and original shipping fee. We will also cover the return shipping cost for the incorrect product.
-
Lost Packages: Full refund of the product price and original shipping fee.
-
Pre-Order Cancellations: Full refund of the amount paid (product price + shipping fee, if applicable).
-
Order Cancellations (Before Processing/Shipping): Full refund of the amount paid. If canceled after processing but before shipping, a refund will be issued minus a small processing fee (to cover packaging and documentation costs).
Refund amounts do not include any import duties, taxes, or customs fees paid by you, as these are collected by the destination country’s customs authority and cannot be refunded by us. You may be able to claim a refund for these fees directly from your local customs authority.
3.2 Refund Methods
Refunds will be processed using the same payment method used to place the original order, unless otherwise requested and approved. The following refund methods are available:
-
Credit/Debit Card: Refunds will be credited back to the original card used for payment. Processing time may take 5-10 business days, depending on your card issuer’s policies.
-
PayPal: Refunds will be credited to your PayPal account within 3-5 business days of processing.
-
Other Payment Methods: Refunds for other payment methods (e.g., bank transfer, digital wallets) will be processed according to the respective provider’s policies, with a typical processing time of 7-14 business days.
We do not offer refunds in the form of store credit, gift cards, or exchanges unless explicitly stated in a promotion or as an alternative to a monetary refund (with your consent).
3.3 Refund Processing Time
Once your refund is approved and (if required) the returned product is received and inspected, we will process the refund within 3-5 business days. The total time for the refund to appear in your account depends on your payment method and financial institution, as outlined in Section 3.2. We will send you an email notification once the refund has been processed.
If you have not received your refund within the expected timeframe, please first check with your payment provider or financial institution, as processing times may vary. If the refund still does not appear, contact us with your order number and refund confirmation details for further investigation.
4. SPECIAL CASES & EXCEPTIONS
4.1 Unclaimed or Returned Packages
If a package is returned to us due to failed delivery attempts, an incorrect address, or being unclaimed, you may request a refund (minus the original shipping fee and any return shipping costs incurred by us). To request a refund in this case, you must contact us within 7 calendar days of being notified that the package has been returned. If you do not request a refund within this timeframe, the package will be held for 30 calendar days, after which it may be disposed of or resold, and no refund will be issued.
4.2 Customized Products
Customized products are generally non-refundable, as they are made to your specific requirements. However, a refund may be offered if the customization is incorrect due to our error (e.g., wrong text, color, or design) and you provide proof of the error within 7 calendar days of receiving the product. Refunds for customized products will be processed after we receive and inspect the returned product (if required).
4.3 Force Majeure
We are not liable for delays in processing refunds caused by force majeure events, including but not limited to natural disasters, wars, strikes, pandemics, or disruptions to payment processing systems. In such cases, we will process refunds as soon as possible once the disruption is resolved, and we will notify you of any delays.
4.4 Multiple Refund Requests
We reserve the right to deny multiple refund requests from the same customer if we suspect abuse of our refund policy (e.g., frequent returns, false claims of defective products). Repeat offenders may have their accounts suspended or terminated.
5. DISPUTES & RESOLUTION
If you disagree with the outcome of your refund request, you may submit an appeal within 7 calendar days of receiving the denial notification. To submit an appeal, reply to the denial email with additional documentation or information to support your claim. We will review the appeal within 5 business days and provide a final decision.
If the appeal is denied, you may pursue resolution through your payment provider (e.g., chargeback for credit card payments) or local consumer protection authorities, in accordance with applicable laws.
6. GENERAL PROVISIONS
By placing an order, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Refund Policy. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time, and any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our website. If you have any questions about our refund policy, please refer to our FAQ section or contact our customer support team (contact information not provided herein).
This Refund Policy is governed by the laws of the country of origin, and any disputes arising from or related to refunds will be resolved in accordance with those laws.
