Returns & Cancellations

 

If the item arrives dead/faulty

 

If your item is faulty or not in working condition due to a product defect or not functioning as it is supposed to - then you can still return it. We will arrange a pickup of the item to be returned to the seller. The seller will check the complaint and see if it is genuine. Upon their confirmation we will process the refund of the money back to your credit card.

 

 

 

 

Returning the item

 

 Once the item is purchased through Rioezone.com, the item cannot be returned, exchanged or money refunded. Unless there has been a defect with the item, and authorized Rio International technicians have detected the defect which was not caused by misuse of the item. However with some special cases and management approval, refunds are accepted as long as the request has been submitted within 2 days of delivery period. 

 

Refund

 

Shipping fees will be deducted from the amount, but you will receive a refund for the balance. This fee will be waived if the item was not as advertised, defective or not functioning as advertised. So basically if it is a return because you have simply changed your mind then the shipping fees will be retained by Rio International and we just refund you amount paid for the item(s).

 

You will be refunded the shipping fees for returned items not in proper working condition or faulty and/or defective.

 

 

Guarantee and/or Warranty is offered on items sold on Rio International

 

There are different types of sellers on Rio International and hence different Warranty offers. However, we can state that items sold on Rioezone will most probably have a 1 year warranty on them. Moreover, if item is not transportable, then we are happy to send out expert technicians to the location of the item.

 

Although we offer warranty for most of the items and their parts, however there are some parts and conditions that we do not offer a warranty for, which include:

• Heating devices.
• Rubber items.
• Filter and oil.
• Blenders jar.
• Misuse of staff or user and labor charges.

 

 

I think the item I bought might not be a genuine item , what can I do?

 

Rio International does not tolerate any fake items to be displayed by any of its sellers and strict action will be taken against any seller should this happen. Our Customer Service Teams will investigate thoroughly any such complaint and the selling of fake or banned items could lead to a seller’s blacklisting and closure of his/her store.

 

  

 

 I need to speak directly with a seller/buyer, how can I do that?

 

Normally this is done via our Customer Services Team through the Contact Us page, however you also have an option to file a complaint directly against an order you made and a seller must respond to you. Failing that you could also escalate the matter to the Customer Service Team.
