FAQ:
1.What to do when there is an after-sales problem with an order that is ineligible for the “return/exchange guarantee”?
When there is a quality issue with the product, cinibuy will verify with the seller based on the actual situation. We will figure out the final solution and notify the user. If the product has no quality issue, the return/exchange service will be unavailable based on the rules from the third-party platform. cinibuy will try to communicate with the seller and protect the user’s rights.
2.Who will be responsible for the shipping fee when using the “ return/exchange guarantee”?
The product must be new and meet the resell requirement before requesting the return/exchange service. If the product has no quality issue, the user will be responsible for the shipping fees. If there is a quality issue with the problem, the seller will be responsible for the shipping fees after the user submits the request.
3.Will there be any charges if I request the return service when the order status is “not shipped”?
Don’t worry, in this case, there will be no charge. You will only be charged when the return/exchange request meets the three conditions: First, the product has no quality issues. Second, the product is already stocked in the warehouse. Third, you have used up the free returns/exchanges allowed for this month. So, when a product is not shipped yet, we will not charge you any fee.

You can check your free returns/exchanges of the month on the return/exchange service request page. Go to “【My Orders】– 【Shopping Orders】- Find the order you want to request the free return/exchange services for – Click 【Return/Exchange】.
