Can I get a full refund if I change my mind after Vanguard bought the item?

Only if the source store or seller will still cancel or refund. Once Apple, Takealot, Amazon, or another platform will not reverse the purchase, Vanguard usually cannot refund that product portion because we have already paid them.

Will Vanguard replace a defective iPhone or laptop?

We help you pursue the source platform's warranty or return policy with photos and your VG order number. We do not guarantee a Vanguard-funded replacement for manufacturer or seller defects.

What if Apple or Takealot refunds Vanguard but freight was already shipped?

You receive what comes back from upstream minus costs we cannot recover, such as freight, duties, clearance, and Vanguard service fees already incurred.

When does Vanguard pay me back directly?

When Vanguard made the error (wrong SKU, wrong variant, loss or damage in our custody, or an item we should have blocked), or before we procured the goods abroad.

Are China Direct sourcing fees refundable?

No. The Vanguard sourcing fee for Alibaba, 1688, and Temu RFQs is non-refundable once paid. Supplier and freight payments are separate and paid directly to those parties.

How do I start a refund or claim?

WhatsApp or email support with your VG order number, photos, and details within 7 days of delivery. We classify the case and either log an upstream platform claim or process a Vanguard-error remedy.

Refunds & cancellations

We help you pursue remedy with the source seller or platform where their policy allows. Vanguard does not guarantee manufacturer warranty or store return policies on third-party goods.

At a glance

Change of mind after we have procured: No refund if the source store or seller will not cancel. We follow upstream return rules.
Defect from Apple, Takealot, Amazon, etc.: We facilitate a claim with the source (warranty, return window, photos). Not an automatic Vanguard replacement.
Wrong item or wrong spec ordered by Vanguard: Vanguard fixes it, reorder, refund, or store credit.
Damage in Vanguard's handling: Vanguard fixes it, reorder, refund, or store credit.
Customs seizure or prohibited item we should have blocked: Vanguard fixes it, refund or credit where we failed screening.
Source store approves a return after shipment: Refund what we recover from upstream, minus non-recoverable freight, duty, and service fees.

When the source still allows a refund

If Apple, Takealot, Amazon, or the seller will cancel or refund the product, you receive what Vanguard recovers from them, minus costs we already paid or cannot reverse, including international freight already shipped, customs duties and clearance, Vanguard service fees for work already done, and any payment gateway fees your bank retains.

Example: you paid $500 landed ($350 product + $80 freight + $40 duty + $30 Vanguard fee). If only the $350 product is refunded upstream, your refund may be about $350, not $500.

If the source will not refund (final sale, return window closed, opened item, etc.), Vanguard generally cannot refund that product portion either.

How to request help

Send your VG order number, photos, and a short description within 7 days of delivery. We log a platform claim and the outcome depends on Apple, Takealot, Amazon, or the seller, not a Vanguard replacement guarantee unless we made the error.
