❓ Frequently asked · 常见问题

How much will I get back?

It depends on the country's VAT/sales-tax rate and the goods — typically a meaningful percentage of the price, minus any processing fee. Our desk gives you an estimate before you submit.

How long does the refund take?

Once we receive your validated forms and receipts, verified refunds are processed and paid to your bank card, Alipay or WeChat in Renminbi.

What if I forgot to get the customs stamp?

Unfortunately most refunds require customs validation. Contact our desk — depending on the country there may still be options.

Do I need a TFE account?

Yes, so we can pay your refund securely. It's free to create one.
