Refund Policy for Zopi Suppliers service

This refund policy serves as a comprehensive guide for dropshippers utilizing the Zopi Suppliers service. Please review the following policies carefully to understand when you can request a refund.

Conditions to Apply for a Refund

1. Item Not Received

Common situations include items not arriving, delays, loss during transit, or customs clearance failures. Understanding these scenarios will help you determine your eligibility for a refund. a. If an item doesn't arrive within a specific time frame:

Zopi Suppliers will track the package and collaborate with the logistics provider to expedite delivery.
Depending on the situation, Zopi Suppliers will offer a minimum compensation of $1 for the delay within 24 business hours through the original payment method. The specific amount can be negotiated between both parties.
This does not apply in cases of force majeure, such as policy changes, customs issues, or weather effects.

b. If the item is lost during shipping:

You are eligible for a full refund or can request re-delivery.

c. If the item has not been shipped for an extended period:

You may be eligible for a full or partial refund. Zopi Suppliers will provide a minimum compensation of $1 for the delayed shipment, with specific details negotiable between both parties.

Note: If the issue is caused by the customer—such as needing assistance with customs clearance, failure to pick up the item, incorrect contact information, or an incorrect delivery address—you must resolve these issues promptly. Zopi Suppliers will contact the customer through the Contact Supplier feature in Zopi to provide logistics contact information and package details. If the delivery has not timed out, the customer should proactively contact the logistics provider for re-delivery or pickup. If the customer fails to resolve the issue within the specified time and the package is returned, the logistics provider will not attempt delivery again, and Zopi Suppliers will not refund any fees.

2. Damaged or Defective Item

a. If the issue is due to Zopi Supplier's fault (such as product damage, packaging damage, product defects, missing items, or incorrect items), Zopi Supplier will not require the customer to return the product. They will contact you within 24 business hours after receiving the request to discuss a solution, refund, or re-delivery. b. If the issue is due to subjective reasons (such as selecting the wrong size or color, buyer's remorse, or incorrect specifications), Zopi Supplier will negotiate with you through the Contact Supplier feature in Zopi and process a refund or replacement after receiving the customer's return and inspecting it.

3. Items Not as Described

If the item you received does not match the product description, you are eligible for a refund. Please provide clear evidence, such as photos or videos, to support your claim.

During the refund process, Zopi will update the refund status under the Refund tab in-app, allowing you to easily monitor the status of your orders.

2. Zopi Suppliers Review

Zopi Supplier will review the refund request within 24 business hours after receiving it. If approved and no return of the product is required, Zopi’s Supplier will process the refund within the next business day through the original payment method.

3. Customer Returns the Product

The customer is required to return the product to Zopi Supplier's warehouse and bear the return shipping costs (except for quality problems or issues caused by Zopi’s Supplier).

4. Checks Returned Products and Refunds

After receiving the returned product, Zopi Suppliers will conduct an inspection. If the product meets the refund criteria, Zopi Suppliers will issue the refund within 5-7 business days after the inspection through the original payment method.

Return Amount

1. Full Refund

If the product has quality issues or significantly differs from the description, you will receive a full refund (including shipping costs). If a refund is requested before Zopi Supplier ships the product, a full refund (including shipping costs) will be issued within 24 business hours.

2. Partial Refund

If you request a refund after Zopi Suppliers has shipped the product but before the package has left the China consolidation warehouse, Zopi Suppliers will deduct the logistics interception fee (typically $1-$3) before issuing the refund. If the product is slightly damaged but still functional, Zopi Suppliers will negotiate with you through the Contact Supplier feature in Zopi and then issue a partial refund. If the product has no quality issues and matches the description, but your customer selected the wrong size/color/specification (e.g., clothing, shoes, etc.), the customer will be responsible for the return shipping costs. After Zopi Suppliers receives and inspects the returned item, only the product cost will be refunded (shipping costs will not be refunded). Alternatively, Zopi Suppliers can negotiate with you to resend the required size/color/specification (if the price difference is minimal).

3. No Refund

If the product has no quality issues and matches the description, or the return is due to personal reasons (e.g., your customer doesn't like it or has changed their mind).

Important Clarifications
