III. Product Sales
Product Information
Accuracy: We strive to ensure the accuracy of the product information of vases and ceramic bowls displayed on the website, including but not limited to product images, descriptions, sizes, colors, materials, prices, etc. However, due to factors such as product batches, shooting angles, and lighting, the actual products may differ from the website display to a certain extent, and the specific details are subject to the actual products you receive. If there is an error in the product information, we have the right to correct it after discovery and promptly notify the user who has placed the order. If you have paid for the order, we will negotiate a solution with you based on the actual situation, such as canceling the order and refunding the full amount, shipping at the correct price, etc.
Availability: Product inventory information is updated in real time on the website, but due to the time difference in order processing, etc., there may be a situation where the product is out of stock. If the product you ordered is out of stock, we will notify you in time and provide you with the option of canceling the order, waiting for restocking or replacing other products.
Product Quality
Quality Assurance: We are committed to providing you with high-quality products. All products undergo strict quality inspection before shipment to ensure that they meet relevant quality standards. However, due to transportation, storage and other reasons, the product may have quality problems when it is delivered to you. If the product you received has quality problems, such as damage, defects, and discrepancies with the description, please contact us within 2 days after receiving the product in accordance with the return and exchange policy of this website, and we will provide you with free repair, replacement or refund service (the specific handling method depends on the actual situation and your choice).
Quality Inspection Standards: Our quality inspection covers the appearance, size, material, function and other aspects of the product. For vases, focus on checking whether the bottle body has cracks and defects, whether the bottle mouth is round, and whether the bottle body is straight; for ceramic bowls, check whether the bowl body is damaged, whether the glaze is uniform, and whether there is any deformation. If you have any questions about the quality standards of the goods, you can contact our customer service at any time.
IV. Transaction process
Order submission
When you submit an order on this website, it means that you have made an offer to us to purchase the goods. After we receive the order, we will review and confirm the order based on the inventory status and payment status of the goods. After the order is confirmed, the sales contract between the two parties is established. During the order review process, we may contact you to verify the order information, such as the style, quantity, delivery address, etc. If the order cannot be confirmed due to insufficient inventory, payment failure, wrong address, etc., we will notify you through the contact information you reserved and cancel the order. If the order cannot be confirmed due to your reasons, the resulting losses shall be borne by you.
Payment method
Payment options: This website supports a variety of payment methods, such as credit card payment (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, etc.), third-party payment platforms (such as PayPal, Alipay, etc., the specific support depends on your region), bank transfer, etc. Your choice of payment method means that you agree to abide by the terms and conditions of the relevant payment institution.
Payment security: We use a secure payment system and encryption technology to ensure the security of your payment information. During the payment process, you should ensure the security of the payment environment and avoid making payment operations on public networks or unsafe devices. We are not responsible for payment risks and financial losses caused by your own reasons (such as leaking payment passwords, paying in an unsafe network environment, etc.). If you have any questions or encounter problems with the payment process, you can contact our customer service at any time to help solve it.
Delivery service
Delivery range: We provide delivery services in Australia and some countries and regions around the world. The specific delivery range can be checked on the website or consult customer service.

Delivery method: We cooperate with many well-known logistics companies to provide you with a variety of delivery options, such as standard express, expedited express, economic sea freight, etc. The transportation time and cost of different delivery methods are different. You can choose according to your needs when placing an order. The delivery time and freight depend on the delivery method you choose, the destination, and the weight and volume of the goods. The specific information is displayed on the order settlement page.
Logistics tracking: After the goods are shipped, we will provide you with the logistics order number and query link to facilitate your tracking of the parcel’s transportation progress. If there are abnormal situations such as package loss, damage, delay, etc. during the logistics process, you should contact us in time and provide relevant logistics information and evidence. We will assist you in communicating and claiming with the logistics company. For parcels lost or damaged due to the logistics company, we will provide you with reissue, exchange or refund services according to the compensation standards and actual conditions of the logistics company; for logistics abnormalities caused by unforeseen and unavoidable reasons such as force majeure and natural disasters, we are not responsible, but we will try our best to assist you in solving the problem.
V. Return and Exchange Policy

Time limit: You can apply for a return within 2 days after receiving the goods. If the deadline is exceeded, we will no longer accept the return application (unless otherwise provided by law). The time of receipt of the goods shall be based on the time shown in the logistics receipt record.
Product status: The returned goods must be kept in a new and unused state, and all original packaging, accessories, labels, etc. should be intact. If there are quality problems with the goods, they are not subject to the above conditions. Minor wear and tear of product labels and slight packaging squeeze that does not affect secondary sales can be handled at our discretion; however, if the product is obviously damaged, stained, used, or the packaging is severely damaged, which affects secondary sales, we have the right to refuse returns.
