Guide to Handling Buyer Return or Refund Requests on Lazada

For sellers operating in marketplace popular like Lazada, request for return of goods or refund is a common thing to happen.

One reason that might trigger this kind of demand is when buyers suddenly change their minds after receiving the product. In this article, we will discuss how to resolve this situation.

Return Request with 'Changed Mind' Reason

Buyers often have varying reasons for returning products with a 'Changed Mind' claim.

These reasons may include changing preferences, unmet expectations, or even changing financial considerations. To handle this situation, sellers must understand and follow the following terms and conditions:

Fulfill Product Terms and Conditions

Products that can be returned for reasons of 'Change of Mind' must meet all terms and conditions applicable to that product. Check any products and return conditions on the Lazada page.

Good Product Condition

Returned products must be in the same condition as when received by the buyer. This means the product must be free from stains, unwanted odors, and dirt. It is important to maintain product quality throughout the delivery process.

Accessories and Spare Parts

If the product comes with accessories, spare parts or free gifts, make sure they are returned with the main product in the same condition they were received.

Good Physical Condition

Returned products must be in good and acceptable physical condition. This means no intentional damage.

According to the description

Products sent to buyers must match what is described or advertised by the seller. Avoid significant differences between the product promised and the product received by the buyer.

Handling Return Requests

• Refund or goods. You can choose to immediately return funds to the buyer or require a return of goods and funds, in accordance with applicable policies.
