Every shopper hopes for a perfect purchase, but sometimes, quality control (QC) inspections reveal issues with your items. Don't worry—this is a normal part of online shopping. At LoongBuy, we have a clear process to help you resolve these cases efficiently. Here's a step-by-step guide on what to do when your QC fails due to quality problems.
Step 1: Understand the QC Report
After your item arrives at our warehouse, our QC team inspects it. If it fails, you will receive a detailed QC report with photos. Carefully review the images and notes to understand the specific issues (e.g., damage, wrong color, size discrepancy, material flaw).
Step 2: Decide Your Course of Action
Based on the report, you have two main options:
- Request a Return/Exchange:
- Request a Partial Refund:
Step 3: Communicate with the Seller
Effective communication is key. Contact the seller through LoongBuy's message system or your original order page.
- Be polite and clear. Attach the QC photos as evidence.
- State your desired solution (return for refund, exchange, or partial refund).
- Negotiate and get the seller's agreement. Always secure their approval
Step 4: Initiate the Official Refund/Return Process on LoongBuy
Once the seller agrees, follow these steps within your LoongBuy account:
- Go to "My Orders"
