Return & Refund Policy
1. General Provisions
Your satisfaction is the core goal of our service. To protect the legitimate rights and interests of global customers and clarify the procedures and liability boundaries for cross-border returns and exchanges, this policy is formulated. This policy applies to all products purchased through Haizhiji’s platforms (including the official website and offline exhibition centers). For customized products, the "Special Provisions for Customized Products" shall additionally apply.
2. Eligible Scenarios for Returns & Exchanges and Core Requirements
(I) Eligible Scenarios for Returns & Exchanges (All the following conditions must be met)
1.Scope of Scenarios
◦Product quality issues: Such as damage, cracks, or functional failures upon receipt (e.g., moisture-proof failure of wall panels after installation), loose embroidery threads or incomplete patterns on embroidered paintings;
◦Merchant fulfillment errors: The model, style, or specification of the received product is inconsistent with the order description (e.g., incorrect wall panel size delivered, embroidered painting theme not matching the order);
◦Significant discrepancies between the product and promotions: Obvious differences between the actual material, craftsmanship, or appearance of the product and the descriptions on the platform’s detail page/brochure.
1.Time Limit
A return/exchange application must be submitted through official channels within 7 calendar days from the day after receiving the goods (failure to do so within the time limit will be deemed a voluntary waiver of the return/exchange right).
2.Requirements for Product Condition
◦Returns/exchanges for non-quality issues: The product must be unused, uninstalled, undamaged, and retain the original packaging (including boxes, labels, and tags) as well as all accessories (e.g., wall panel installation manuals, hooks for embroidered paintings) to ensure it can be resold;
◦Returns/exchanges for quality issues: Clear photos of the damaged/defective parts of the product must be retained. No excessive cleaning or repair is required to avoid affecting the determination of the problem.
1.Cost Responsibility
◦Merchant liability (quality issues, fulfillment errors, discrepancies from promotions): Haizhiji shall bear the return shipping fees. It is recommended to use international mainstream couriers such as DHL, UPS, or FedEx, or local cooperative logistics providers; if premium shipping services (e.g., expedited delivery) are selected, the excess cost beyond the standard shall be borne by the customer;
◦Customer liability (e.g., change of personal preference, wrong model purchased with no product quality issues): The customer shall bear the return shipping fees and any potential import taxes/duties. No additional handling fees will be charged, but the product must meet the requirement of "unused and original packaging intact".
3.Ineligible Scenarios for Returns & Exchanges
Returns & exchanges will not be supported and no refunds will be issued in the following cases (unless the product has quality issues):
1.Customized/personalized products: Such as wall panels with exclusive logos, embroidered paintings made according to the customer’s specified size/pattern, or engraved wall hangings;
2.Used/installed products: Such as wall panels already installed on walls, embroidered paintings already hung for use (with obvious creases/stains), or missing accessories (e.g., lost wall panel installation screws, missing embroidered painting packaging);
3.Expired time limit: Failure to submit an application within the "7 calendar days after receipt";
4.Products not sold by Haizhiji: Inability to provide the order number, purchase certificate, or product traceability information inconsistent with Haizhiji’s outbound records;
5.Manually damaged products: Such as damage caused by improper packaging by the customer during transportation, or damage caused by incorrect installation/improper maintenance during use.
