What Proof Do You Need to Provide?

SuperBuy acts as your agent and handles communication with the seller. The primary "proof" is our official QC photos and report, which clearly highlight the defect. However, to strengthen your case, you can:

  • **Reference Specific QC Photos:** When submitting your request, note the specific photo numbers (e.g., QC Photo #3 shows a tear).
  • **Provide Additional Context (if applicable):** If the issue is related to a wrong item (e.g., you ordered a medium but received a large), mention that the size tag in the QC photo does not match your order.

In most cases, our professional QC evidence is sufficient. Our service team will gather all necessary information to support your claim.

Important Tips for a Smooth Refund

  • **Act Quickly:** Review QC results promptly after notification to avoid exceeding sellers' return deadlines.
  • **Communicate Clearly:** Be specific in your refund request reason. This helps our team negotiate effectively.
  • **Monitor Messages:** Check your SuperBuy messages and email for updates from your service agent.
  • **Understand Policies:** Be aware that some discounted or custom items from sellers may not be returnable. Our team will inform you if this is the case.

While a failed QC check can be disappointing, SuperBuy's structured refund process ensures you are protected. By acting promptly and using the clear evidence provided by our QC team, you can resolve the issue and receive your refund efficiently.
