What Does Chinavasion’s Warranty Imply?
As a wholesaler Chinavasion can only offer problem-solving for faulty products which either shipped in an unsatisfactory condition, or developed internal faults naturally during usage without issues of physical damage or unsupported usage. In other words if the product is broken you can contact us then we will contact the suppliers for you, the suppliers will deal it maybe send it back for a repair or refund.
Warranty Does Not Include:
The warranty does not include any kind of: - Technical support on product installation and usability - Advice about product's configuration or any software issues - Recommendations about how to connect products or compatibility - Software/OS updating or firmware flashing as it would void Chinavasion's warranty - Product issue diagnostic and troubleshooting advice
Warranty By Default Covers Repair
The Chinavasion warranty means the suppliers will repair your faulty item for free and send it back to you for free. Other compensation is not normally available if the product can be repaired promptly.
If an item is impossible to repair to a good working condition, or would take too long to do so, the suppliers will next offer you an equivalent product.
When Does The 3 Month Warranty Start From?
The warranty period begins from the receipt of the goods by the initial consignee. In the case of resellers, this is when the vendor receives the goods from Chinavasion. The period is exactly 3 months from that time. For example, a product on the last day of 3rd month is covered, but a product day after that day is no longer covered.
In the case of delivery methods or destinations which lack a confirmed delivery tracking date, we will take the assumption that the warranty period starts 30 days after we sent out your order.
Who Pays For What?
- Cost of shipping a presumably faulty item back to Hong Kong or China: Paid by the customer, cannot be reimbursed.
- Cost of China internal freight,import duties, and restocking process on the Hong Kong or China sides: waived for faulty products and paid by Chinavasion in full. In other words our QC engineers will test products you ship back and, if they confirm the products are indeed faulty, we will offer compensation (repair, replacement, credit or refund). However, for products that are tested and turn out to be in good working condition, Chinavasion will not accept any responsibility and may charge a restocking fee at our own discretion. Functional products will not be reimbursed.
- Cost of shipping repaired item back to customer from China: paid by Chinavasion in full. In order to facilitate customs clearance, we will normally use Airmail and EMS if applicable to send back the repaired item to you.
- If a product cannot be repaired: The original product price will be refunded in the form of credit in your Chinavasion account under certain circumstances. You can use the credit towards a brand new replacement or a different product.
- Any new import duty or sales tax for the consignee for the returned repaired products sent from China is their responsibility as per the usual policies.
