  • VAT
  • GST
  • Sales taxes
  • Brokerage fees
  • Customs processing charges

Unless otherwise stated during checkout, these charges remain the sole responsibility of the customer.

Customs policies differ significantly between countries.

We recommend contacting your local customs office before placing an order if you have questions regarding import charges.

We cannot estimate or guarantee customs fees imposed by local authorities.

Failure to pay customs charges may result in delayed delivery, returned shipments, or destruction of packages by customs authorities.


8. Shipment Tracking

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a confirmation email containing:

  • Tracking number
  • Shipping carrier
  • Shipment status
  • Tracking link

Tracking information generally becomes active within 24–72 hours after shipment.

Please note that some carriers may experience temporary delays in updating tracking information.

Tracking updates depend entirely on the shipping carrier’s systems.


9. Delivery Confirmation

An order is considered successfully delivered when:

  • The package has been marked as delivered by the carrier;
  • A delivery confirmation has been recorded;
  • The shipment has been accepted by the customer, household member, building management, reception desk, parcel locker, or another authorized recipient.

Once delivery has been confirmed by the carrier, responsibility for the package transfers to the customer.

Customers are encouraged to ensure someone is available to receive the package whenever possible.


10. Incorrect Shipping Information

Customers are responsible for ensuring that all shipping information provided during checkout is complete and accurate.

Please carefully verify:

  • Recipient name
  • Street address
  • Apartment number
  • Postal code
  • City
  • Country
  • Telephone number

Orders shipped to incorrect addresses due to customer error may not be eligible for replacement or refund.

11. Delivery Delays

Although we strive to deliver every order within the estimated timeframe, delivery schedules are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated otherwise.

Occasionally, shipments may be delayed due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • High seasonal demand
  • Public holidays
  • Customs inspections
  • Carrier operational delays
  • Airport congestion
  • Port congestion
  • Severe weather conditions
  • Natural disasters
  • Labor strikes
  • Government regulations
  • Security inspections
  • Transportation disruptions
  • Public health emergencies
  • Military conflicts
  • Technical failures within carrier networks

While we closely monitor shipment progress and cooperate with our logistics partners to minimize delays, we cannot be held responsible for delivery delays caused by third-party carriers or events outside our control.

If your order experiences an unusual delay, our customer support team will gladly assist in investigating the shipment status with the carrier.


12. Lost Packages

A shipment may be considered lost only after the carrier has officially confirmed that the package cannot be located or after a reasonable investigation period has concluded.

If you believe your package has been lost, please contact us promptly and provide:

  • Your order number
  • Full name
  • Shipping address
  • Tracking number
  • Description of the issue

Before classifying a shipment as lost, we may request that you:

  • Verify your shipping address
  • Check with neighbors
  • Contact your local post office
  • Check parcel lockers or reception desks
  • Confirm with household members
  • Allow additional delivery time if tracking indicates transit delays

Once the carrier confirms that the shipment has been lost, we may, at our discretion:

  • Send a replacement product;
  • Issue a refund;
  • Provide store credit.

Each case is evaluated individually.


13. Damaged Shipments

We carefully inspect and package every order before shipment.

If your package arrives damaged, please notify us within 48 hours of delivery.

To assist our investigation, please provide:

  • Order number
  • Photos of the damaged packaging
  • Photos of the damaged product(s)
  • Photos of the shipping label
  • A brief description of the damage

Please retain all original packaging materials until the claim has been resolved, as carriers may request an inspection.

Failure to report shipping damage within a reasonable period may affect our ability to file claims with the carrier.


14. Split Shipments

To improve delivery efficiency, your order may occasionally be divided into multiple shipments.

This may occur because:

  • Products are stored in different warehouses.
  • Certain items become available sooner than others.
  • Package size limitations apply.
  • Products require special packaging.
  • Different carriers provide faster service for specific items.

If your order is shipped in multiple packages, you will receive separate tracking information for each shipment where applicable.

No additional shipping charges will apply solely because your order has been split.


15. Failed Delivery Attempts

Most carriers will attempt delivery more than once.

If delivery cannot be completed due to customer unavailability, the carrier may:

  • Leave the package in a secure location.
  • Deliver to a nearby collection point.
  • Leave a delivery notice.
  • Attempt redelivery.
  • Return the package to the sender.

Customers are responsible for monitoring shipment tracking and arranging collection or redelivery when required.

Failure to retrieve a package within the carrier’s specified holding period may result in the package being returned.


16. Undeliverable Packages

A package may be deemed undeliverable if:

  • The address provided is incomplete or incorrect.
  • The recipient refuses delivery.
  • Customs clearance cannot be completed.
  • Import duties remain unpaid.
  • Local delivery restrictions apply.
  • The recipient cannot be contacted.
  • The package remains unclaimed.

If a shipment is returned to us due to circumstances attributable to the customer, we reserve the right to deduct any shipping, handling, customs, or return fees incurred before issuing any applicable refund.

Reshipping a returned package may require payment of additional shipping charges.


17. Risk of Loss

Risk of loss and title for products generally transfer to the customer upon successful delivery by the carrier to the delivery address specified in the order.

For shipments requiring a signature, delivery is considered complete when signed for by the recipient or another individual authorized to accept delivery at the address.

After confirmed delivery, we are not responsible for:

  • Theft of delivered packages;
  • Loss occurring after delivery;
  • Damage caused by improper handling after receipt;
  • Packages left unattended at the customer’s request.

Customers are encouraged to select secure delivery locations whenever possible.


18. Address Changes

If you need to modify your shipping address after placing an order, please contact us immediately.

Address changes can only be accommodated if the order has not yet entered the shipping process.

Once an order has been dispatched, we are generally unable to redirect or modify the destination address.

We are not liable for delays or losses resulting from incorrect shipping information provided by the customer.


19. Shipping Restrictions

Certain products may not be available for shipment to all destinations due to:

  • Import restrictions
  • Export control regulations
  • Local product regulations
  • Carrier limitations
  • Hazardous material regulations
  • Customs policies

We reserve the right to cancel or refuse any order that cannot legally or safely be delivered.

If such a situation occurs, any eligible payment received for unavailable products will be refunded.


20. Pre-Orders and Backorders

From time to time, certain products may be offered as pre-order or backorder items.

Estimated shipping dates for these products are approximate and may change depending on:

  • Manufacturing schedules
  • Supplier availability
  • Inventory replenishment
  • Transportation conditions

Customers will be notified of significant delays whenever reasonably possible.

Orders containing both in-stock and pre-order items may be shipped together or separately, depending on operational considerations.


21. Customer Responsibilities

Customers are responsible for:

  • Providing accurate shipping information.
  • Monitoring shipment tracking.
  • Responding promptly to carrier communications.
  • Paying any applicable customs duties or import taxes.
  • Collecting shipments within required timeframes.
  • Inspecting delivered packages upon receipt.
  • Reporting shipping issues without unreasonable delay.

Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may affect eligibility for replacements or refunds.


22. Force Majeure

We shall not be held liable for any failure or delay in performing our shipping obligations where such failure results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Natural disasters;
  • Floods;
  • Earthquakes;
  • Fires;
  • Severe weather;
  • Epidemics or pandemics;
  • War;
  • Terrorist activities;
  • Civil unrest;
  • Government actions;
  • Trade restrictions;
  • Transportation interruptions;
  • Labor disputes;
  • Cybersecurity incidents affecting logistics providers;
  • Utility failures.

In such circumstances, delivery timelines may be extended until normal operations resume.


23. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, huacloai.store shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from shipping delays, delivery failures caused by third-party carriers, customs procedures, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Our total liability relating to shipping shall not exceed the amount paid by the customer for the affected order, except where mandatory consumer protection laws provide otherwise.


24. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to modify this Shipping Policy at any time to reflect changes in our business operations, logistics partners, legal requirements, or shipping practices.

The latest version will always be available on our website with the updated Effective Date.
