How to report a damaged or wrong item

The 48-hour rule

Inspect your delivery within 48 hours of receiving it. This is critical -- claims filed after 48 hours (without insurance) may not be eligible for resolution.

What to document

Before opening a claim, gather the following evidence:

  • Photos of the outer packaging -- Show any visible damage, dents, or tampering.
  • Photos of the product -- Show the damage or the wrong item from multiple angles.
  • Video (recommended) -- A short unboxing video is the strongest evidence, especially for electronics.
  • Keep all packaging -- Do not discard boxes, bubble wrap, or inserts. The carrier or seller may require them for the claim.

How to submit a claim

  1. Go to My Orders and open the order in question.
  2. Click Report an issue or contact us through chat.
  3. Describe the problem and attach your photos/video.
  4. A support ticket is created and our team reviews within 1 business day.

What happens next

  • We contact the seller -- We escalate the issue to the seller or carrier and negotiate a resolution on your behalf.
  • Resolution options -- Depending on the seller's policy: replacement, partial refund, full refund, or return for refund.
  • Timeline -- Most claims are resolved within 5-10 business days. Complex cases involving seller disputes may take longer.
