What Our Returns and After-Sales Service Covers

Product Returns and Refunds

Product Returns and Refunds

When a customer returns an item, it comes to our nearest warehouse rather than back to China. We inspect it, confirm the condition against your instruction, and either return it to sellable stock or process the refund. You approve the outcome before any money moves.

Defective Item Replacements

Defective Item Replacements

If a product arrives faulty, send us the photo or video evidence and we ship a replacement from stock. Where the fault is a factory defect rather than transit damage, we recover the cost from the supplier; it does not come out of your margin.

Lost Parcel Claims

Lost Parcel Claims

When a parcel stops scanning, we open the carrier claim on your behalf, track it through the investigation, and reship or refund based on the outcome. You are not sitting on hold with a carrier while your customer waits for an answer.

After-Sales Communication Support

After-Sales Communication Support

Our team works directly with you on complex cases, coordinating with the supplier, verifying shipment records, and confirming what actually happened before you respond to your customer. You get the facts, not a guess.

Warranty and Product Testing

Warranty and Product Testing

For products with a warranty period, we test returned units to confirm whether the fault is a manufacturing defect or misuse. The test result determines who bears the cost, and you receive the evidence either way.
