Purchase Service Limitation & Purchase Tips

The products FSC can purchase should not violate the laws from both China and the destination countries. Beside, the following are limited for purchasing: Liquid, Cream, Powder, Chemical and other sensitive items defined by most shipping companies.

 

FreeShoppingChina.com is not a B2C or B2B seller and does not sell anything directly. Based on the jobs and services we do, FreeShoppingChina.com ONLY check the items integrity probelms and does not guarantee the natures of items customers request to purchase.



What are natures of items?


The “natures of the items” means the following but not limited to the following: style design, color, material and any feature decided by the producing process and technology. Usually, the natures of one item can not be changed even if you return the item to seller to change for another same product, as all the same products from the same seller are the same.


This is especially embarrassing when someone thinks the items is supposed to be like this or like that, while the fact is that the item he/she purchased is different. The difference is not because the item is broken or damaged, but the item's natures are different from what they are supposed to be by the buyer. Even, different buyers may have different expectations on the natures of the same products. And the differences may easily result in complaints, disputes and disappointments.

FreeShoppingChina.com can NOT control and is NOT responsible for items' natures! We ONLY perform purchase service for you and check the integrity problems of the items. We do NOT define the high-quality or low-quality. We do not accept return or refund request because of natures of the items with the reason of “low quality” or “not as expected”. Again, FREESHOPPINGCHINA.COM IS NOT DIRECT SELLER,  FREESHOPPINGCHINA.COM CAN NOT CONTROL AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ITEMS’ NATURES! 


Important Tips:

1. We suggest you look into the item detailed information carefully to make sure the item's natures can be accepted.

 

2. For resellers, we do suggest you purchase a sample first if you are not clear if the items are as expected.

 

3. Be careful to the items with extremely low prices. Usually the too low price means the item’s cost is low, of course, the material and other natures of the items will be not be good either.

4. Compare the shops' credit scores. In taobao, you can find the shop/seller’s credit score in the right side. There are red hearts, diamonds, blue crowns, and golden crowns. The sequence of the credit score from low to high is as following: red hearts< diamonds< blue crowns< golden crowns. We suggest you purchase items from the shop at least with diamonds. The shops with crowns are recommended as usually they are companies’ shops instead of personal shops. Shops with crowns are usually with better service and sell better items.

5. Check the comments on the specific items. Usually, there are comment functions for online shops. In taobao and other online shops, you can check the comments on the specific item in the end of item details part. This is very helpful to understand the natures of the items in the views of different buyers.

6. For VIP members, regular buyers, resellers and other partners, please contact customer service for help if you are facing any other difficulty.

 

What are the item's integrity problems?

 

The item's integrity problems includes the following:

1) The style is different from the style option you selected;

2) The color is different from the color option you selected(The real color may be a little bit different from that on webpage. This difference is not integrity issue.);

3) The item is different from that in item description;

4) The item is NOT in original status(borken, used or any status that is not acceptable).

2. If you are purchasing special items, please suggest a reasonable item name for customs declaring when filling the shipping information and pay the international shipping cost. Usually the destination customs will charge taxes based on the item name and category it belongs to. Writing a reasonable item name will make the thing easier and save taxes for you.

3. Consult your local customs office or official site to get more information of importing items for business use and personal use. Some countries may have a limitation to total value of items for personal use. Items' value exceeds the limitation may cause customs clearance failure.
