⚠️Important Tips
- For exchanges: Contact TikTok support directly.
- For returns/refunds:
- Use the quick guide link mentioned above
- Or use the "Return/Refund" option in your TikTok order details or check order confirmation emails sent from no-reply@shop-us.tiktok.com.
- Changed your mind? Cancel your refund request in the app (If you have requested or just keep the item), then contact TikTok customer support.
⚠️For Customers Who Wish to Proceed With a Return
To ensure a smooth refund process, please make sure to:
1. Submit your return request through the TikTok app promptly.
2. After submitting, use the QR code return label sent to you via TikTok DM or email to ship the item.
3. Keep the shipping receipt or proof of postage—you will need to upload the return tracking number in the app.
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Failure to follow these steps may delay or result in refusal of your refund.
- If the 45-day window has passed, the recipient must contact TikTok’s official support (not the merchant) to reopen the refund case. This will extend processing time.
Please follow these instructions carefully to avoid delays.
⚠️❗Why Email Isn’t Recommended⚠️❗
TikTok app can process each requests instantly.
- Emails may be blocked or filtered as spam.
- TikTok orders have a strict 45-day return window.
We’re updating our support guidelines card to help customers get faster help through their original purchase platform. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
