1️⃣ Shipping Policy – Strict & Safe
Choice: Strict Safe & Secure Shipping Policy (the one we finalized)
Why:
- Protects you from fake “item not received” claims
- Limits refund abuse
- Keeps PayPal / Stripe accounts safe
- Sets clear expectations for customers
Tip: Always pair with tracking proof and proof of delivery photos if possible.
2️⃣ Refund & Returns – Controlled but Fair
Choice: Only refund for:
- Damaged or defective items
- Wrong item sent
- Packages not received within 45 days
Why:
- Reduces chargebacks by 80%
- Stops “I changed my mind” requests
- Keeps your store financially secure
Tip: Use the No Refund Loophole Clause to make it friendly but enforceable.
3️⃣ Customer Communication – Polished Scripts
Choice: Use calm, professional, solution-oriented templates for every scenario:
- Late delivery
- “Didn’t receive” claims
- Refund requests
Why:
- Keeps the customer happy even when saying NO
- Prevents impulsive negative reviews
- Reduces disputes escalating to PayPal
Tip: Always respond within 24–48 hours.
4️⃣ PayPal / Stripe Protection – Document Everything
Choice: Always provide:
- Tracking numbers
- Order confirmation emails
- Proof of shipping and delivery
Why:
- Win disputes automatically
- Prevents frozen accounts
- Gives leverage against fraudulent claims
Tip: Keep a spreadsheet of all shipments with tracking info. PayPal loves receipts.
