Under FOB or CIF terms, all risks before crossing the ship's rail are borne by the seller (us). For minor scratches, we will provide a price discount based on the damage assessment; for serious damage, we will immediately terminate the vehicle delivery, refund the full amount, or replace it with a vehicle of equivalent configuration.

Start by checking the after-sales clause in your contract—reputable exporters typically offer 3-12 months of parts support. The usual process: send the exporter a fault description with photos or a short video, plus your VIN and contract number. They will confirm whether it is a warranty case or a paid parts order. For warranty claims, common resolutions are free parts shipped with your next container, or a credit/refund for parts you source locally. Keep all communication in writing. To avoid long waits, ask for the OE part numbers in advance and check whether local dealers stock the same components—many Chinese brands share suppliers. Ordering common wear parts (filters, brake pads) together with the car shipment is the cheapest option by far.

Our standard holding period is 3 business days after the deposit is paid (based on the timestamp of the payment slip). The domestic used car market in China moves very quickly, and if we do not receive the bank message confirming the deposit within the specified time, the system will automatically release the hold, and the vehicle will be re-listed for public sale.
