Help You Buy From China

Dispute Resolution & Complaint Handling

Understand how product, supplier, warehouse, shipping, payment and service-scope disputes are reviewed.

Our approach

Disputes should be reviewed with records, evidence and service scope.

Buying from China involves buyers, sellers, suppliers, warehouses, carriers, payment platforms and customs authorities. When a dispute happens, we review what was approved, what was paid, what was checked, what was shipped and what evidence is available.

Submit dispute notice

Send a written description of the issue, requested resolution and relevant order/request reference.

Record review

We review request records, approved specs, payment records, warehouse photos, supplier messages and shipping information.

Evidence collection

Photos, videos, package labels, outer carton photos, tracking and unboxing video may be requested.

Proposed resolution

Possible next steps may include seller claim, return, exchange, partial refund, reshipment, carrier claim or no-supported-claim notice.

Third-party response

Cases involving suppliers, warehouses, carriers, customs or payment platforms may take longer.

Escalation

If unresolved, payment platform procedures, carrier claim procedures, supplier platform procedures, mediation or applicable legal remedies may be considered.

Important boundaries

We encourage internal review before payment platform disputes.

Please contact us first with evidence so we can review the issue and attempt to resolve it through our internal dispute process. This does not limit any non-waivable rights you may have under applicable law or payment platform rules.

Report visible issues quickly

Visible product issues should be reported as soon as possible after photo check or delivery, ideally within 3 days.

Carrier claim deadlines

Shipping damage, loss or missing parcel claims must follow carrier claim periods and evidence requirements.

Used or exported goods

Goods that are used, modified, resold, transferred or exported may be difficult or impossible to return or claim.

Important Fee Notice: Not every amount paid by the buyer is our service income. Product costs, supplier charges, payment processor deductions, shipping fees, warehouse costs, inspection fees, customs-related charges, taxes, duties and other third-party costs may be non-refundable unless the relevant third party actually refunds them to us. Read Pass-through Costs & Third-party Fees.
Receiver information responsibility: The buyer must verify receiver name, country, state/province, city, street address, apartment/unit number, postal code, phone number, email and tax/customs information if required. Delay, return, extra fees, failed delivery or loss caused by incorrect or incomplete buyer-provided information may be the buyer’s responsibility. Read the Buyer Order Guide.
