How refunds are processed

What is refundable

When a refund is approved, the refundable amount depends on what costs have already been incurred:

  • Product cost -- Refunded in full if the seller provides a refund.
  • Service fee -- Partially refundable depending on the stage (full refund before order placement, partial after).
  • International shipping -- Not refundable once the item has been dispatched internationally.
  • Customs duty -- Not refundable once paid to customs authorities. In some cases, duty drawback can be claimed for returned goods, but this is rare and complex.
  • Handling fee -- A per-order handling fee applies for processing returns and refunds.

Refund methods

Refunds are issued back to your original payment method whenever possible:

  • Card payments -- Refunded to the same card. Takes 5-10 business days to appear on your statement.
  • Digital wallets -- Refunded to the same wallet. Usually reflects within 3-5 business days.
  • Bank transfers -- Refunded to the same bank account. Takes 3-7 business days.
  • Store credit -- In some cases, we may offer store credit that can be applied to future orders. This is always optional.

Refund timeline

  1. Claim reviewed -- 1 business day after submission.
  2. Seller contacted -- 1-3 business days for seller response.
  3. Refund approved -- Once seller confirms, we process within 1-2 business days.
  4. Funds received -- 3-10 business days depending on payment method.

Total typical timeline: 5-15 business days from claim to funds in your account.

Partial refunds

If only part of your order has an issue (e.g. one item damaged in a multi-item order), we process a partial refund for the affected items only. The rest of the order is unaffected.
