Terms of No-Reason Returns

What is the 5-Day Return/Exchange Guarantee?

The 5-Day Return/Exchange Guarantee is an after-sales service, including technical support, offered to customers by sellers on third-party platforms. Buyers are eligible to return or exchange the purchased product within 5 days after receiving the product (or within 7 days after it’s stocked in the warehouse). This is subject to the policy and any additional rules set by the third-party platform.

How can I determine if a product qualifies for the Return/Exchange Guarantee?

Products either qualify or don’t qualify for the 5-Day Free Return/Exchange Service.

Instructions for Requesting Return/Exchange Service:

• Time Frame: Within 5 days (120 hours) after the order status changes to “Stocked in Warehouse”, you can request a return/exchange through your account page. Requests made after the 5-day time frame will not be accepted.
• Fees: Service fees are waived for the first return/exchange of each calendar month. Additional requests will incur the following fees:
  • Unconditional Returns: You will be charged for the shipping cost to the seller, shipping cost from the seller, and a $0.75 USD service fee.
  • Unconditional Exchanges: You will be charged for the shipping cost to the seller, the shipping cost for two trips from the seller, and a $0.75 USD service fee.
  • Note: Even if the seller offered free shipping at the time of purchase, you will be responsible for paying the shipping fee for the first dispatch during a return/exchange.

Ensure your account has sufficient funds to cover the return shipping and service fee when requesting the return/exchange service. Refer to the table below for the required packaging specifications for certain products. The product cannot be returned/exchanged if these requirements are not met.

Determining Responsibility for Return/Exchange:

Select a reason based on the actual situation to determine who is responsible for the return/exchange of the product (you, the seller, or other parties).

Notes:

• The refund/exchange total is based on the product price that you actually paid.
• We can only return/exchange the product for you when the seller agrees.
• Ensure that there is enough balance in your account after requesting the return/exchange service so you can pay for the return shipping and service fee.
• Refer to the table below for the return packaging requirements of certain products. You will not be able to return/exchange the product when the requirement is not met.

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, JoyaBuy 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. JoyaBuy 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 product, 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 two conditions: First, the product has no quality issues. Second, the product is already stocked in the warehouse. So, when a product is not shipped yet, we will not charge you any fee.
