Ship It Back
Pack the item securely in original packaging if possible. Drop off at any DHL, UPS, or FedEx location. Keep the drop-off receipt until your refund is processed.

3.Refund Methods & Timing
We refund to your original payment method by default. Other options are available on request:

| Bank Wire Transfer | Same bank account (or store credit) | 7-14 business days |
| Store Credit (requested) | Account balance | Immediate |
You can also choose store credit at the time of return for instant refund (no waiting for bank processing). Store credit does not expire and can be used on any order.
4.Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Items
If your item arrives damaged, defective, or is not what you ordered, we cover all return shipping and offer a free replacement, refund, or store credit. This is covered by our Warranty Policy in addition to this Returns Policy.
4.1 Shipping Damage
Report shipping damage within 7 days of delivery. Email chao@cnchome-beyond.com with:
- Your order number
- Photos of the damaged item and the outer packaging
- Photo of the shipping label (so we can file a carrier claim)
4.2 Defective on Arrival
Email us within 30 days of delivery with photos or a short video showing the defect. We will diagnose the issue and offer a replacement, refund, or repair at our discretion.
4.3 Wrong Item
If you receive a different item than what you ordered, we ship the correct item at no cost and email a prepaid label for returning the wrong one. No need to wait for the wrong item to come back before we ship the correct one.
5.Exchanges
For unopened items, we offer free exchange for a different grade, size, or SKU of equal value within 30 days. For items of different value, we refund the difference or invoice the difference before shipping the new item.
To request an exchange, email chao@cnchome-beyond.com with the order number, the item to exchange, and the desired replacement. We confirm stock availability and email a return label.
Use our Insert Grade Cross-Reference tool to find the right replacement grade if you are unsure which one to choose.

7.EU Consumer Right of Withdrawal
If you are a consumer located in the European Union, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of delivery, per the EU Consumer Rights Directive. This is in addition to our 30-day return policy.
7.1 How to Exercise
Email chao@cnchome-beyond.com with clear notice of your decision to withdraw within 14 days of delivery. You may use the model withdrawal form available on the EU ODR platform.
7.2 Effect of Withdrawal
We will reimburse all payments received from you, including standard delivery costs, within 14 days of receiving your notice of withdrawal. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the returned goods. You must return the goods within 14 days of notifying us.
7.3 Exceptions
The right of withdrawal does not apply to sealed goods which were unsealed after delivery (e.g., opened packaging of consumable inserts), goods made to your specifications, or B2B purchases with a VAT number.
For full details, see Section 7 of our Terms of Service.
8.B2B Returns
If you are purchasing on behalf of a business entity with a VAT number or business license, the following applies in addition to the above:
- Standard 30-day return policy applies for unopened items
- The 14-day EU consumer withdrawal right does not apply
- For defective or wrong items, the Warranty Policy takes precedence over this returns policy
- Refunds are typically issued as store credit for B2B accounts to streamline accounting (refund-to-card available on request)
- Custom or special-order items are not eligible for change-of-mind returns
- Bulk orders (50+ pieces) may be subject to a 10% restocking fee for change-of-mind returns
