Cancellation, Return and Refund
Buyers may only cancel purchases limited to the following conditions before shipment. Once shipped, purchases will be subject to return process rather than cancellation process.
Return costs shall be borne by the party attributable to the return request, such as:
- the seller, where the return is due to the defects in the item, delivery of the wrong or different item
- the Buyer if the Buyer not did not indicate their Quality Requirement.
For purchases in China, return attributable to the BUYER may not be practically possible due to high return costs. Shipment cost back to China is chargeable at $8/500g. We or Sellers take no responsibility and assume no liability for such cases.
Upon completion of the cancellation or the refund process, the Company shall refund by depositing funds back into the Ewallet of the buyer and not in any form of cash. Buyers may at any time request to withdraw from the Ewallet and the request amount shall be remitted to the Buyer's bank account within 14 business days.
The company will not accept cancellation or refund due to reason such as Change of mind, Wrongful order or Careless order by Buyer or when the Buyer finds that the International Shipping Charges are higher than expected. In the case of products where Chargeable Weight is higher than the initial default 500g, the buyer can instruct ChinaHao to stop International Shipping. For this case, we will only refund any prepaid International Shipping Charge based on the Estimated Chargeable Weight Policy and not the cost of the product purchased in China.
ChinaHao will not entertain any refunds or cancellation other than OUT OF STOCK or INCREASE IN CHINA PRODUCT COST
Reorder / Exchange Policy
In the case where the products arrived with defects in ChinaHao’s China warehouse, we will inform customer with pictures of the defects. With the instruction of the BUYER, we will Exchange for a new product from the SELLER. If there is no instruction on any Exchange from the BUYER, we will proceed to ship to Singapore. We will not be liable for delay shipment for such cases. There shall be no refund or cancellation for such order.
In the case where the products are delivered with defects or delivered with the wrong colours and quantities to the BUYER in Singapore, we will arrange for a free Exchange for the same product from the SELLER. We will not be liable for any delay in the reorder and exchange process.
Once the products are received and signed by the BUYER on the Delivery Order, no Exchange, Refund or Return will be entertained. The BUYER is deemed to have check and ensure that the product is in good condition when the Delivery Order is signed.
Quality Control Policy
ChinaHao will help our customer to check the quantity, size, colour and obvious defects when the products arrive in ChinaHao’s China warehouse according to the Order deｓｃｒｉｐｔions.
For colour checks, ChinaHao will only do quality check based on general colours. For example, watermelon red will be understood as red colour.
ChinaHao do not perform quality checks on quality and functionality. For products received that were non-functioning.
ChinaHao will assist you to liaise with SELLER for exchange or repair. In such cases, any additional cost incurred will be bear by BUYERS.
ChinaHao do not accept changes in Order once the Order is made. Any request over the phone or email for changes will not be entertained.
Pricing and Seller Activities
Sellers shall properly manage and ensure that relevant information such as the price and the details of items, inventory amount and terms and conditions for sales is updated through the ChinaHao system and shall not post inaccurate information.
The price of items and option items for sale will be determined by the seller at his/her own discretion. Sellers may wish to take into consideration all relevant factors, including, without limitation Basic Fees, Option Item Fees, Shipping Charge Fees and other service fees. Also the settlement amount (before deducting other service fees therefrom) payable to a seller for a sale will be determined by the seller at his/her own discretion based on the price of the items and Basic Fees.
The price of an item posted does not include LOCAL Shipping charges in China and INTERNATIONAL Shipping charges from China to Singapore. All the item’s prices will be subject to LOCAL Shipping charges in China and INTERNATIONAL Shipping charges. The International Shipping Charges will be subjected to the Weight, Size and Dimensions as stated in the Shipping Charges within the COST & FEES page of our website.
Sellers agree that the Company may at its discretion engage in promotional activities for and on behalf of sellers to induce transactions between buyers and sellers by reducing, discounting or refunding Basic Fees and other service fees, or in other ways. In no event, such adjustment of Basic Fees and other service fees will affect the originally determined settlement amount payable to sellers. The final price that buyers will pay actually will be the price that such adjustment is applied to.
For the purpose of promoting the sales of the items listed by sellers, the Company may post such items (at adjusted price) on third-party websites (such as portal sites and price comparison sites) and other websites (domestic or foreign) operated by the Company.
Sellers will not issue receipts, credit card slips or tax invoices to buyers on request.
International Shipping and Delivery to Door
While ChinaHao searches for the best International Forwarder and Logistic companies to shipped the Goods from ChinaHao’s China Warehouse and to you, we are not responsible for any delay or any defect in the goods due to transportation reason. We will negotiate for compensation with the best interest to the BUYER should there be proof of defect due to shipping reason.
The standard chargeable shipping cost for International Shipping will be based either on the EXACT WEIGHT or VOLUMETRIC WEIGHT of the good, whichever is greater. Should the SELLER indicate in their product deｓｃｒｉｐｔion about the weight of a good, it may not necessary be referring to the Volumetric Weight. Volumetric Weight is usually applicable to items that are light weight yet bulky. BUYERS are expected to make their own calculation of the Volumetric Weight based on the calculation method as stated under Cost and Fees before making any purchase.
ChinaHao will inform the BUYER should the Volumetric Weight be bigger than the Exact Weight when the goods arrive at Sbuy4u’s china warehouse. Refund will not be entertained due to the reason of Volumetric Weight higher than Weight stated by the SELLER in the website.
For delivery to door, the forwarder will only deliver the Good up to the door of the BUYER. The forwarder/transporter will not be responsible for:
- unpacking, dismantling or assembling of any goods, unit, system or furniture;
- disconnecting, reconnecting, dismantling or reassembling appliances, fixtures, fittings or equipment;
- moving and carrying of the Goods within the house or premises.
ChinaHao will not be responsible for any delivery delay or failure to deliver due to whatsoever reason by the forwarder/transporter.
