II. Services Pikobuy Provides to You
1. Parcel Forwarding and Purchasing-Agent Service Policy
(1) Pikobuy Product Search and Display Services
To facilitate your communication with sellers on platforms such as Taobao and 1688 when purchasing products, Pikobuy displays sales and shopping links from sellers on platforms such as Taobao and 1688, so that you can search for products directly through the links and visit the corresponding product detail pages or websites to learn more about the products or communicate with sellers. Pikobuy has no actual sales function and is not an actual seller or sales platform. Pikobuy does not have the function of actually selling products and is not an actual sales entity or sales platform.
(2) Purchasing-Agent and Parcel Forwarding Services
Purchasing-agent services: All purchasing-agent services under this Agreement are provided to you independently by third-party purchasers. Currently, third-party purchasers provide you with services free of charge. However, you need to pay in advance for the products required for the purchase.
However, if you entrust a purchasing agent to purchase products from third-party merchants on your behalf, you need to pay Pikobuy the cost of the products required for the purchase. Specifically, this means the purchase price of the products you choose to have purchased and the logistics costs (the actual calculation may differ slightly due to exchange rate fluctuations and settlement times).
You agree that Pikobuy may directly add the necessary service fee when you confirm payment for the purchased products. Failure to pay the platform service fee at the same time will result in your purchasing order not being generated or confirmed.
Parcel forwarding: If the products in your purchasing order involve cross-border shipping, Pikobuy will recommend third-party logistics providers to you. You are responsible for choosing the logistics provider yourself, which will provide services to you independently. You need to pay the shipping fee to the logistics provider and the platform service fee to Pikobuy. The platform service fee is calculated at 8% of the shipping fee (the actual calculation may differ slightly due to exchange rate fluctuations and settlement times).
You agree that Pikobuy may directly add the platform service fee when you confirm payment of the shipping fee. Failure to pay the platform service fee at the same time will result in your shipping order not being generated or confirmed. Pikobuy is not responsible for any customs penalties, delivery delays, damage, or loss occurring during international parcel transportation. All risks must be assessed and borne by you.
If a problem occurs with a parcel, you may authorize Pikobuy to act as a communication agent to negotiate a claim with the third-party logistics provider. Disputes between users and third-party logistics providers are unrelated to Pikobuy. All compensation-related matters are subject to the standards of the third-party logistics provider. Pikobuy bears no responsibility for this, nor any joint liability.
(3) Disclaimer for Product Purchasing and Parcel Forwarding
To ensure the smooth arrival of your purchased products, Pikobuy may appropriately handle the arrived products. Some merchants on certain purchasing platforms may engage in illegal business practices. Pikobuy cannot review the information of purchasing platforms/merchants/products and/or services one by one, nor can it review and verify the quality, safety, legality, authenticity, and accuracy of the purchasing platforms/merchants/products and/or services involved in transactions. Please purchase with caution.
(4) 5-Day No-Questions-Asked Return/Exchange Policy
You must understand that Pikobuy provides commissioned purchasing-agent services, not online product sales. The "Interim Measures for Seven-Day No-Questions-Asked Returns of Online Shopping Products" do not apply. Products purchased by Pikobuy on your behalf may be returned or exchanged without reason within 5 days (subject to actual circumstances). You must understand and confirm that this return/exchange service can only be enjoyed free of charge once within 30 days. Otherwise, subsequent returns/exchanges may incur certain fees, and some orders may not be eligible for return or exchange.
(5) Parcel Forwarding Agreement and Acceptance Rules
You are responsible for understanding internationally prohibited items and the relevant laws and regulations. Pikobuy may sign for and inspect parcels on your behalf in accordance with the parcel forwarding and return receipt rules, accept parcels that meet the requirements, and perform subsequent related operations.
(6) Domestic Returns and International Returns
Due to the particularities of international logistics, some parcels may be marked by the customs of the sending country as "failed domestic security inspection". In such cases, Pikobuy can arrange free reshipment after your parcel is returned. If your parcel has already been sent overseas and is returned due to reasons such as failing international security inspection, no one signing for it, an incorrect or incomplete address, or delivery failure, you will need to bear the cost of reshipment.
Domestic returns under this Agreement apply only to mainland China.
(7) Delayed Delivery Insurance and Compensation
A parcel is considered delayed if it exceeds the transit time of the insured shipping route published by the platform, counting from the date it is handed over to the third-party carrier. For compensation for delayed delivery, after the recipient applies for compensation, Pikobuy may negotiate with the relevant third-party logistics provider. The compensation may be refunded to the customer account of the international parcel, provided that no compensation will be paid for delays caused by actions, decisions, or orders of government and judicial authorities (such as customs), weather, traffic control, strikes, changes in regulatory policies, terrorist incidents, violent crimes such as robbery and looting, war, and other force majeure factors.
(8) Parcel Insurance and Compensation
If your parcel is lost and you purchased parcel insurance when submitting the order, the insurance company may provide corresponding compensation based on your insured amount. You should understand that if the parcel contains internationally prohibited items or is lost due to specific factors (see the insurance terms for details), you must bear full responsibility for the loss of the parcel.
Please make sure you have read the relevant terms in detail.
(9) Signing for Parcels
Normally confirming receipt of a parcel marks the end of the entire shipping process. You should carefully check the outer packaging when signing for it. If any related issues arise after signing, please contact customer service immediately.
(10) After-Sales Service
We recommend that you confirm receipt on the website after receiving your parcel. If needed, you may apply for after-sales service within the validity period of the after-sales service. Otherwise, after-sales service will no longer be provided once this period expires. The valid after-sales period is calculated based on the number of delivery days and the time of confirming receipt.
(11) Worry-Free Compensation Policy
Before using the services under this Agreement, you should understand the relevant rules of all businesses and services provided by Pikobuy, and fully understand and confirm all your rights and obligations under this Agreement.
(12) Compensation Disclaimer
Pikobuy is committed to providing you with international online shopping services. In the following special circumstances, you are deemed to agree to and authorize Pikobuy to proceed with subsequent operations. If you have any questions, please contact customer service for verification when submitting your order.
a) Sensitive items:
To ensure the smooth delivery of your parcel, sensitive items including essential oils, care solutions, lubricants, batteries, and glue may be removed by Pikobuy.
b) Customs policies:
Replicas, items containing large amounts of liquid or powder, or items containing batteries, food, or medicine, etc., are subject to customs policies and may carry certain delivery risks. Pikobuy is not responsible for customs clearance failures caused by the above risks or the related legal liabilities.
c) Inability to Perform Professional Inspection:
Pikobuy may be unable to provide professional inspection (in terms of quality, authenticity, completeness, etc.) for certain products (such as electrical appliances, replicas, tickets, cards, models, etc.). In this regard, our inspectors can only check whether the appearance is intact and whether the accessories are complete. Pikobuy cannot open product packaging to check quality. Therefore, Pikobuy makes no guarantee of, nor assumes any responsibility for, the quality of our products.
d) Fragile items:
Since products such as ceramics, glass, and irregularly shaped items (such as wipers and shock absorbers) may be worn or broken during multiple transports, Pikobuy recommends that you purchase with caution. Pikobuy can ensure that products are intact before shipment. However, if an item is deemed fragile by the logistics provider and is damaged during transportation, any resulting losses and liabilities shall be borne by you.
e) Custom-made products:
If you order custom-made products, we recommend negotiating directly with the merchant. You may purchase such products according to your own ideas and creativity. After successful negotiation, you should provide us with your contact details with the merchant. Since Pikobuy cannot professionally inspect such products, any resulting losses and liabilities shall be borne by you.
f) Deposit orders:
According to Taobao sellers' rules, orders with a paid deposit cannot be canceled. Buyers must proactively pay the balance within the time specified in the seller's published information for the products to be shipped. If the balance is not paid by the due time, the deposit will not be refunded.
g) Sellers with Poor Credibility:
We recommend choosing shops with a credibility of three stars or above that have paid the Taobao deposit. Shops with low credibility that have not paid a deposit may involve disputes such as sellers not shipping, false shipping, after-sales service, and rights protection. Any resulting losses must be borne by you.
h) CD Products and Models:
Since CD products and figure models have high collectible value and cannot be inspected by opening the plastic packaging, Pikobuy only checks whether the appearance is intact and does not inspect the interior. All risks and liabilities arising from this shall be borne by you.
If your order involves the risks listed in the above clauses, you are deemed to have read and accepted them. Please read carefully. Pikobuy reserves the right of final interpretation.
Pikobuy assumes no responsibility for the loss, shortage, damage, or delay of mail during delivery caused by reasons not attributable to Pikobuy, as follows:
- Equivalent circumstances caused by force majeure events (except insured-value mail);
- The mailed items violate restriction and prohibition regulations and have been confiscated or otherwise disposed of by the competent authorities in accordance with the law;
- The mail was delivered with intact packaging, unopened and not reduced in weight, but the contents were short or damaged;
- The receipt was signed by the recipient;
- The mail was lost or delayed due to reasons attributable to the user or to the items contained;

2. 1688 Purchasing-Agent Service Rules
The purchasing-agent services under this Agreement are provided by third-party procurement companies to assist you in purchasing the products you specify from 1688 sellers. Pikobuy does not guarantee the quality of 1688 products and does not provide precise inventory services. Only limited sample services and limited after-sales services are provided. Please select products carefully and bear the risks yourself. For guaranteed procurement, you may use Pikobuy's expert purchasing-agent service.
III. Notes on International Logistics Restrictions
Products purchased in China must comply with the laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the "PRC") and be permitted for export. You understand and confirm that, due to differences in customs policies among countries, some countries or regions are more sensitive to special products. Such products have a slightly higher probability of being confiscated when entering local customs. Pikobuy is not responsible for products being confiscated, destroyed, or detained by the customs at the place of receipt due to the above reasons.
Customs inspections of parcels are basically conducted by random sampling. If customs considers your parcel special (e.g., oversized, overweight, or containing sensitive items), customs will proactively contact the recipient to request invoices or customs clearance documents. Please ask the commissioned purchasing agent to cooperate in fulfilling customs information disclosure obligations. Pikobuy makes no promises or guarantees regarding customs clearance.
