Shopee Return Refund Due to Parcel Delivered but Actually Not Received

First time I had a problem where the parcel is delivered but I don’t receive any parcel.

Chronology of Events

  1. 25 June 2022 – Order masks

  3. 27 June 2022 – Parcel has been picked up by our logistics partner

Return / Refund Request Because 6 days at Delivery Hub

So what I did I call Shopee call centre on 4th July 2022 because the parcel was at the hub for 6 days already and they advise me to request for Return / Refund and their agent will investigate with their delivery partner.

Suddenly on 5th July the delivery status changed to parcel has been delivered within 1 minute from the parcel is out of delivery.

Which is shocking because impossible to deliver in 1 minute. I did check whether I received any parcel which I didn’t.

According to Shopee call centre, even though it is delivered by ShopeeExpress but in actual fact the ShopeeExpress is not owned by Shopee. It is owned by their partner but used Shopee branding.

Besides, the call centre informed me the rider has high target to deliver parcel, so what they did they just change status without delivering a parcel and it happens so many times.

Shopee Investigate My Return / Refund Case

On 6th July, Shopee call centre called me to verify whether I received or no the parcel which I said I didn’t.

Shopee informed me that they will send email and share with them my front house photo and will ask delivery partner to share their photo as proof of delivery. According to Shopee, the delivery partner just share black photo means they didn’t take any photo when deliver the parcel.

After sending my front house photo, the delivery partner will take another 3 working days to check with their rider.

If they can’t prove then Shopee will refund my money and Shopee coins.

Shopee Return Refund Due Faulty Product – Malfunction / Item Not Works As Intended

I bought a lock with digit combination at Shopee. Unfortunately the lock can’t be open even though it is set to 0-0-0-0.

I contacted seller via Shopee and WhatsApp and they asked me to return the item.

So I just follow the steps in Return / Refund and choose the right reason.

Return / Refund due to Faulty Product –  Malfunction / Not Work As Intended

I choose “Faulty Product” as reason to return it back.

After click submit, I need to share photos of it. So I just share my WhatsApp discussion with the seller that asked me to return it.

After submit the photos, Shopee asked me to drop off the product at any J&T branch and show them the bar code.

Drop Off The Faulty Product at J&T Branch

On 30th June 2022, I went to J&T Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam to drop it off. I needed to purchase 25 cent of packaging bag from J&T. I thought everything is covered by Shopee but it is only the postal cost is covered by Shopee.

Then J&T has to scan the bar code and the “Return / Refund” status change to seller needs to respond by 5th July 2022.

Conclusion

1) Seller was trusted one because don’t argue much on the faulty product.

2) But seller’s mistake is, he didn’t check the product before shipping out.

3) I only bought sellers with 4.9 stars rating and above and also see whether a seller is professional in responding bad rating. If seller criticizes buyer on bad rating then I won’t buy from this kind of seller

4) Shopee is fast in refunding my money as long as Seller is co-operative.

5) Return process due to faulty product was quite easy as long you have J&T branch nearby.
