  • 2. Dispute screenshots
  • 3. Refund screenshots
  • 4. Relevant photos or videos for compensation claims, such as product issue photos, damaged packaging photos, etc.

Note:

  1. When returning goods, Homealc users must communicate with Homealc in advance to confirm the specific situation, such as whether it's a quality issue or unreasonable return. When arranging returns to Homealc warehouse, Homealc users must ensure buyers write the order number on the package and provide tracking numbers. Failure to provide these will result in Homealc not handling the return.
  2. For after-sales issues not covered by these terms, Homealc users may negotiate with Homealc based on actual circumstances.
  3. If modifications are made to the "Homealc After-Sales Service Agreement", Homealc will announce them in the system notification bar 10 days in advance. During this period, Homealc users may provide feedback, and Homealc will consider modifications accordingly.
  4. For unstated situations, Homealc's publicly announced logistics compensation principles will apply.

4. Compensation Acceptance and Processing Time

Homealc only accepts complaints filed by buyers within 14 days of receiving the goods. Homealc users must submit compensation claims within 3 days of receiving buyer complaints. Claims submitted after this period will not be accepted.
