III. Situations for return and refund
1. Wrong receipt information
If buyer fills in wrong receipt information, he/she should contact the seller in time to confirm whether the good has been shipped out. If supplier has not shipped it, buyer can provide the correct receipt information to supplier, or cancel the order and place a new one.
If supplier has already shipped the goods out, buyer shall contact the logistics company to verify whether the order can be re dispatched to the correct address. If it can be re dispatched, the cost shall be borne by the buyer.
If buyer applies for return and refund and seller agrees, buyer must send back the product and upload the return logistics tracking number in time. Return freight shall be borne by the buyer.
2. Choose wrong product / not like the product (not quality problem)
If buyer chooses the wrong product when he/she places an order or does not like the goods received, buyer shall first communicate with the supplier to solve the problem.
If buyer applies for return and refund and seller agrees, buyer must send back the product and upload the return logistics tracking number in time. Return freight shall also be borne by the buyer.
Note: about the two cases, if supplier does not agree with the buyer's return or refund application, buyer agrees the platform to intervene in the case timely and make the final judgment.
3. Goods Problems (not as described / missing or wrong goods / quality problems)
If there is a problem with the goods received by the buyer, buyer shall first communicate with the supplier to solve. If both parties fail to reach an agreement, the platform will intervene to solve the case; buyer should provide the platform with relevant evidence (pictures or videos of the problematic goods) for verification within 7 natural days since then.
If the platform verifies that there is a problem with the goods and the supplier fails to handle compelling evidence in time, the platform will refund to the buyer.
If buyer does not provide relevant proof in time, the platform has the right to close the refund application.
Notice: Buyer knows and agrees that for issues on customized/sample products, if the seller can provide the platform with relevant supporting materials which show that the buyer had confirmed the product appearance, materials, specifications, certification/testing requirements and other key elements before payment, the platform reserves the right to reject the buyer's refund application.
4. Logistics issue
4.1 Wrong tracking number
The buyer can first contact the supplier and ask him to provide the correct tracking number.
If CROV verifies that tracking number is wrong, and the supplier fails to provide the correct one in time, platform will refund the buyer.
4.2 Transit time was too long
If the delivery time is far beyond the reasonable transit time, buyer should contact the supplier to negotiate solutions first.
If both parties fail to reach an agreement or the supplier fails to deal with the buyer's claim in time, platform will intervene to handle in 2 weeks after the refund application is initiated.
4.3 Logistic issue of self pick-up order
For buyers who choose “Pick-Up” as shipping method when ordering, the supplier will get the goods prepared for buyer to pick up , while once the goods were collected from the warehouse successfully by the buyer or buyer’s carrier, any logistic issues happen in the follow-up process(item missing, item damaged, etc.) shall be solved by the buyer him/herself.
5. Goods not received
Buyer may first contact the supplier or the logistics company to inquire about the logistics status.
When buyer claims that the package still has not been received after 15 natural days since the issue was raised, buyer agrees that the platform may intervene and help solve the case with the principles below:
1) If the supplier fails to provide the proof of delivery in time, or the logistics company confirms that the goods were lost, buyer can ask the supplier to resend or refund, and CROV will proactively assist the buyer in handling the problem.
2) If the supplier can provide proof of delivery and verified by the platform, the platform has the right to close the refund application.
Notice: buyers must not provide false evidence. If platform finds out that the evidence is false, platform has the right to refuse the refund application.
IIII. Other
If the order exceeds the refund time limit specified in the rules, but the product is still within the warranty period specified by the seller, the return and exchange matters shall be settled by the buyer and the seller through negotiation.
