Purchasing Disclaimer

HandHunt is committed to eliminating all your worries about international online shopping. In order to ensure that the goods you purchased can be received smoothly, we will have corresponding processing standards for the goods that have arrived. Since Taobao and other similar websites may have illegal commercial practices, please shop with caution; the following special circumstances are deemed to be your consent and follow-up operations. If you have any doubts, please contact the customer service staff to verify when submitting the order.

1. Sensitive goods:

Containing sensitive items such as essential oils, care solutions, lubricants, batteries, glue, etc., in order to ensure your normal delivery, we will take them out for you.

2. Customs policy:

Containing brands, large amounts of liquids\powders, live goods, food\drugs, etc. may be subject to certain shipping risks due to customs policies. If the consequences arise from the above risks, this site is not responsible for customs clearance and bears relevant legal responsibilities.

3. Unable to professionally inspect goods:

If you purchase electrical appliances, brands, tickets, cards, models and other goods, we will not be able to conduct professional (quality, authenticity, integrity, etc.) inspections for the goods you ordered; when the quality inspector inspects the goods, he can only check whether the appearance of the goods is intact and whether the accessories are complete, but cannot turn on the machine to check whether the goods have quality problems.

4. Fragile items:

Containing ceramics, glass products, irregularly shaped products (wipers, car fenders, etc.), etc., the products may be worn and broken during transportation. Please purchase with caution. We guarantee the integrity of the products before delivery, but if the products are damaged during delivery and are judged as fragile by logistics, the losses incurred shall be borne by you.

5. Customized products:

If the order you submit is a customized product, it is recommended that you negotiate with the merchant. Order the product according to your ideas and creativity. After successful negotiation with the merchant, you need to provide the merchant's Wangwang, contact information or code.

7. Low seller reputation:

It is recommended that you choose a store with a store reputation of more than three hearts and pay a Taobao deposit to purchase goods. Stores with low merchant credibility and no insurance premiums may have disputes such as sellers not shipping, false shipping, after-sales, and rights protection. You will be responsible for any losses incurred.

8. "CD" and "hand-made" products:

Since "CD" and "hand-made" products have high collection value, in order not to affect the user's collection, the inspection standard for such products is not to remove the plastic bag for inspection. Only the appearance can be inspected for damage, and the details of the internal parts cannot be specifically verified. The risks incurred shall be borne by you.

If the order you submit has the above risks, we will regard you as having read and accepted the above terms. Please be sure to read them carefully. HandHunt reserves all rights of interpretation!
