Policy stages

Refund and cancellation policy

Refunds depend on the order stage: before quote approval, after payment but before purchase, after supplier purchase, after receiving or prep, and after shipping.

No purchase is made before quote approval and required payment. Submitting a form is not an order.

Packed shipment handoff after receiving and prep work

Refunds follow the operational stage

Before purchase

Usually simpler to cancel

After purchase

Supplier and committed costs matter

After prep or shipping

Service and carrier rules apply

System impact

Order timelines must keep evidence for refund decisions

The order system should record quote approval, payment received, purchase started, supplier order, China receiving, prep started, shipping booked, shipped status, refund status, refund reason, and non-refundable costs. Without stage evidence, refund disputes become hard to resolve.

Review the stage before asking for cancellation

The same quote can have different refund outcomes depending on purchase, receiving, prep, and shipping status.
