Detailed explanation of Shopee platform’s after-sales policy and strategies to deal with malicious after-sales

As a well-known e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia, Shopee has always been committed to providing high-quality after-sales services to ensure consumers’ shopping experience. This article will introduce in detail the after-sales policy of the Shopee platform and how to deal with malicious after-sales requests.

Overview of Shopee’s after-sales policy

1. 7 days no reason to return or exchange goods

Shopee provides consumers with a 7-day no-reason return and exchange service. Consumers only need to submit a return or exchange application within 7 days after the goods are delivered, and Shopee will provide corresponding solutions according to the specific situation, such as product recycling, freight compensation, etc.

2. After-sales customer service support

In addition to return and exchange services, Shopee also provides customer service support through multiple channels, such as phone, WeChat, email, etc., to help answer consumers’ questions. In addition, Shopee also provides users with value-added services such as logistics tracking and cargo damage compensation.

3. Quality Assurance

Shopee promises that all products sold on the platform are genuine and ensures product quality. Whether it is pre-sales consultation or after-sales service, Shopee and its partner merchants are committed to providing customers with the best experience.

Methods for handling malicious after-sales requests

Although Shopee strives to provide a good after-sales experience, there are still cases where some buyers abuse this policy. For sellers, when faced with such malicious after-sales requests, the following steps should be taken:

1. Check order information: First check the order details involving after-sales and confirm whether the delivery, logistics, and after-sales processes comply with the platform regulations. If you determine that your operations are in compliance, you can prepare appeal materials.

2. Submit an appeal: Log in to the Shopee Seller Center, find the “Appeal” option on the order management page, follow the instructions to fill in the reasons for the appeal and upload relevant supporting documents, such as logistics information, delivery vouchers, receipt photos, etc.

3. Waiting for processing results: After submitting the appeal, you will usually receive a response within 1-2 working days. As long as there is sufficient evidence, the appeal has a higher chance of success.

Frequently asked questions and solutions

Shopee also has clear regulations for some special situations, such as partial refunds, cross-border returns, etc.:

• Partial refund processing: Except for the Thai market, if a buyer in other regions requests a partial refund, the seller can choose to refuse and the local customer service will assist in the process.

• International Return Process: Returns to non-local markets are subject to specific country policies. For example, the Malaysian market does not support returns to China via SLS and needs to be negotiated with the buyer; Indonesia, Thailand and other places accept returns conditionally.

Through the above measures, Shopee not only improves consumer satisfaction, but also promotes merchants to improve service quality and enhances the overall credibility of the e-commerce industry. However, in actual operation, challenges such as rising after-sales costs and limited response speed still need to be overcome.

In short, Shopee not only protects the rights and interests of consumers but also provides sellers with a level playing field by continuously improving its after-sales system. When faced with malicious after-sales behavior, sellers should make full use of the appeal mechanism provided by the platform to safeguard their own interests.
