#Note: Refunded amounts will be returned to the same wallet used for the original top-up.
Top-up funds cannot be withdrawn immediately and are only eligible for withdrawal after 60 days from the top-up date, in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations and to prevent potential financial compliance risks with banking partners.

  • After the refund is processed, the Seller’s Banzota account balance will be reset to zero.

II. POLICIES & COMMITMENTS FROM BANZOTA

  • For order cancellation or information changes, sellers must submit a request within 24 hours after the order is confirmed. After this period, Fulfillment will assess the order’s status to determine available solutions.
  • Sellers may request order information by opening a ticket in the system. The system will receive and respond to each ticket accordingly.

8. Refund – Resend

8.1. Refund (Order)

  • Refunds are applicable only in cases where Banzota is unable to process the order or when the order encounters issues such as system errors, loss, or failure to meet the original commitment.

    For products with longer-than-normal processing times, Banzota will proactively notify the Seller.
  • International Orders (Outside the US / Island Regions):
    For shipments to countries outside the United States or island regions, tracking updates may take longer than 7 days due to transportation and customs procedures. This is not considered a shipping fault.
  • Returned Orders Due to Product Characteristics:
    In cases where orders are returned due to unsuitable shipping characteristics (including but not limited to batteries, electronics, liquids, magnetic items, unsupported brands, or shipping lines), Banzota will actively seek an alternative shipping route to resend the order.
    If no suitable shipping option is available, Banzota will issue a refund.

9.3 Delivery Status

  • Failed delivery due to customer-related issues: (Includes: Delivery attempted – no access, inaccessible address, invalid address, Held at PO – customer request, customer refused delivery, forwarded, customer moved, etc.) => Resend/Refund not applicable.

  • Failed delivery due to non-customer-related causes: Banzota will support a resend or refund depending on the specific situation.

  • Orders with “Available for Pick Up” or “Awaiting Delivery Scan” status: Banzota will notify the seller to contact the customer; the customer must contact the Post Office directly to collect the package.

    In cases where the customer has contacted the PO but still hasn’t received the item, please provide an email response from the PO to Banzota → Banzota will resend the order.

    • US Mainland: Banzota will resend or refund if the order remains undelivered after 35 days.

    • Other Regions: The waiting period is 45 days.

  • Bulk fulfillment orders shipped outside the US: Please contact Banzota for a specific dedicated policy.

  • Products with longer-than-usual processing times or slow shipping lines: Processing times may be extended based on the agreement between Banzota and the customer.

NOTE:

The above policy applies during off-peak seasons. During peak seasons or force majeure events (e.g., pandemics, natural disasters, severe weather, strikes, etc.), delivery times may be longer than expected. Banzota will proactively notify and coordinate with customers for resolution.

Certain items (e.g., cosmetics, liquids, weapon-like items, products containing batteries/motors, magnetic items, etc.) carry a higher risk of being returned or held for customs inspection. Banzota will proactively notify and assist customers in these cases.

During holidays and festivals, processing and delivery times may be extended.
