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.

Refunds follow the operational stage
Usually simpler to cancel
Supplier and committed costs matter
Service and carrier rules apply
Stage-based policy
Cancellation logic changes as work is committed
Quote validity
A quote is not a purchase until approved and paid
Quotes can expire or be revised
1688 supplier stock, price, MOQ, domestic shipping, currency, route cost, and carrier availability can change. If a quote expires, Supplymo can revise or decline before purchase.
Responsibility boundaries
Separate supplier changes, user mistakes, and Supplymo errors
Supplier changes
Out of stock, price change, MOQ change, wrong variant, or supplier return refusal may limit recovery.
User mistakes
Wrong product, variant, address, label, documents, or delayed reply are not default Supplymo liability.
Supplymo mistakes
Confirmed operating errors should be handled within the affected written scope.
Payment fees
Payment, bank, provider, and currency fees may be non-refundable depending on provider rules.
Restricted or shipping issues
High-risk products can create non-refundable committed costs
Restricted product found later
Unspent funds may be returned, but purchase, receiving, prep, shipping, return, disposal, or storage costs can apply.
Prep already performed
Labels, photos, repack, handling, and other executed service fees are usually not refundable.
Carrier or customs issue
Carrier refusal, failed delivery, address mistakes, customs delay, duty, tax, return, or destruction may create extra costs.
Refund request path
Refund review starts from written order context
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.
