To give shoppers unparalleled peace of mind regarding the authenticity of online items, Shopee Mall offers an industry-breaking update to its money-back guarantee–now offered at triple the purchase amount if items received are proven to be counterfeits.

In addition, Shopee Mall has expanded its return and refund policy for a smoother shopping journey. From an initial 7-day period, the window period for returns has been doubled and can now be initiated within 15 days of receipt. As long as the returned item meets the Return Terms & Conditions, full refunds will be given.

Shopee Mall’s Guaranteed Delivery completes the seamless shopping experience. This new promise ensures the delivery of ordered products without any cancellations. In the rare event that an order is canceled, shoppers will be given compensation vouchers accordingly.

To maintain Shopee as a safe marketplace for all users, Shopee has also launched its Brand Intellectual Property (IP) Portal. This one-stop platform aims to safeguard the interests of sellers and intellectual property owners.
