Assistance aux retours et échanges

If a product problem is discovered while your goods are still in China, it is often easier to solve the issue before international shipping begins.

1688Fulfillment can help document product problems, provide photos or videos, assist with supplier communication, prepare approved returns, receive replacement goods and verify them again before your final shipment leaves China.

Solve China-side problems before they become international problems.

Handle Product Problems Before International Shipping

Buying from overseas suppliers always carries some risk.

A supplier may send:

If these problems are discovered only after the goods arrive in your country, solving them can become expensive and complicated.

International return shipping, customs procedures and long-distance communication can all increase the cost of resolving a supplier problem.

This is why we encourage customers to identify and handle issues while the goods are still in China.

What Our Returns & Exchanges Assistance Includes

Depending on the situation and your confirmed service arrangement, we may assist with the following.

Problem Documentation

If a visible issue is identified, our warehouse team can document the problem using available photos, videos and order information.

Photo & Video Evidence

We can provide visual evidence to help you understand the issue and communicate with the supplier.

Supplier Communication Assistance

Where agreed, we can assist with basic communication relating to the identified warehouse-side problem.

Return Preparation

If the supplier approves the return, we can help prepare the goods for domestic return inside China.

Exchange Assistance

Replacement Receiving

Replacement goods can be delivered back to our China warehouse.

Replacement Verification

Where requested, the replacement goods can be checked again before they are included in your final shipment.

Continued Fulfillment

Once the issue is resolved, the goods can continue through storage, consolidation, repacking and international shipping.

Returns and exchanges are usually easier when the issue can be clearly documented.

Continue Fulfillment

Supplier Approval Is Required

1688Fulfillment provides return and exchange assistance.

We do not control the original supplier.

Any return, exchange, refund, replacement or compensation remains subject to the supplier’s:

We cannot guarantee that a supplier will approve a return or exchange.

Our role is to help you manage the process while the goods are still in China.

We Are Not the Original Seller

1688Fulfillment generally acts as an independent warehouse, fulfillment and logistics service provider.

We are not normally the manufacturer or original seller of the products purchased by the customer.

The original supplier remains responsible for matters such as:

Receiving the goods at our warehouse does not make 1688Fulfillment the seller of those goods.

Returns From 1688 Sellers

If you purchased goods from a 1688 seller, the return process may depend on:

Where possible, handling the issue while the goods are still in China can make the process easier than returning them internationally.

Returns From Alibaba Suppliers

Goods purchased from Alibaba suppliers may be subject to the supplier’s own terms and applicable platform procedures.

If a supplier issue is discovered at our warehouse, we can help document the visible problem and assist with warehouse-side processing where appropriate.

The final decision remains with the supplier and any applicable platform procedure.

Returns to Chinese Factories

When goods are purchased directly from a factory or manufacturer, returns and exchanges depend on the commercial agreement between the buyer and factory.

Cela revêt une importance particulière pour :

Customers should confirm quality standards and return terms with the factory before production whenever possible.

Customized Products

Customized goods can be more difficult to return.

Examples include products with:

A supplier may refuse returns for customized goods unless there is an agreed manufacturing defect or order error.

We therefore recommend confirming specifications carefully before production.

Domestic Return Shipping in China

If a supplier approves a return, the goods may need to be shipped domestically from our warehouse back to the supplier.

Domestic return shipping costs may be paid by:

This depends on the supplier’s policy and the reason for the return.

Domestic return shipping is not automatically included in every fulfillment service.

Additional Warehouse Charges

Some return or exchange cases may require additional work.

Depending on the service arrangement, charges may apply for:

Where applicable, additional charges will be confirmed according to the situation.

Replacement Goods

If the supplier sends replacement goods, they can be delivered back to our China warehouse.

Depending on your service arrangement, we can then:

This allows the international shipment to continue after the supplier issue has been resolved.

Returns While Waiting for Other Suppliers

One advantage of using a China fulfillment warehouse is that other goods do not necessarily need to stop moving through the fulfillment process.

Par exemple :

Supplier A goods arrive correctly.

Supplier B sends the wrong model.

Supplier C has not shipped yet.

In this situation, we can keep Supplier A’s goods at the warehouse while Supplier B’s issue is handled and Supplier C’s goods are still on the way.

Once everything is ready, the final goods can be consolidated into one shipment.

Storage During Returns and Exchanges

A return or exchange may take time.

During this period, other goods may remain at our warehouse according to the applicable storage arrangement.

Storage terms and any applicable fees are governed by the relevant Conditions d'entreposage et politique de stockage.

Customers should respond promptly to return and exchange updates to avoid unnecessary delays.

Return Deadlines Matter

Suppliers and marketplaces may apply strict deadlines.

If a possible problem is reported, customers should review the available evidence and provide instructions as soon as possible.

Delays may affect the ability to:

Prompt communication is therefore important.

Problems Found After International Shipping

It is much easier to manage supplier issues before goods leave China.

If a problem is discovered only after international delivery, returning goods may involve:

We may provide reasonable assistance where practical, but international returns can be significantly more complicated.

This is why customers who require additional assurance should request inspection before international dispatch.

Basic Inspection Has Limits

Our warehouse inspection is generally a basic visual and quantity-based service unless another inspection scope has been confirmed.

It does not automatically include:

A product may look normal and still contain a hidden defect.

Customers requiring specialized testing should arrange the appropriate professional inspection separately.

Hidden Defects

Some defects cannot be identified through ordinary warehouse visual inspection.

Voici quelques exemples :

1688Fulfillment does not guarantee that a basic warehouse inspection will identify every possible defect.

Returns for Change of Mind

A supplier may not accept a return simply because the customer changes their mind.

Return eligibility depends on:

Customers should confirm supplier return conditions before purchasing when return flexibility is important.

Refund Assistance

Where a supplier agrees to issue a refund, the refund process is controlled by the relevant supplier, marketplace and payment method.

1688Fulfillment does not guarantee:

Where requested and practical, we may assist with information or warehouse-side evidence relating to the claim.

Better to Resolve Problems in China

The main advantage of this service is timing.

A supplier problem discovered while the goods are still in China may be easier to resolve because:

The goal is simple:

Do not pay to ship a known problem internationally.
