Is there a return and refund policy for electronics purchased from Chinese websites?
I bought a tablet from one Chinese online store about 3 months ago. It worked fine for some time, but recently, it started shutting down for no reason. I had an expert look at it, and he said it was a manufacturing error, nothing I could have done. I would like to return it, but I don't know if that's even possible. Also, I don't expect to get a full refund, but could I get a partial one at least?Asked 7 months ago
