Summary

If your order arrived damaged or defective, don’t worry 🙏. Pulingo gives these cases priority. This guide explains how to document the issue, submit your claim, and what to expect for replacements or refunds. 📸🚚

📋 What Qualifies as Damaged or Defective

  • Items that arrived with visible physical damage (broken, cracked, dented).
  • Products that do not function properly right out of the box.
  • Wrong item delivered that cannot be used as intended.
  • Missing essential parts that make the product unusable.

🚨 Steps to Take Immediately

  • Do not discard packaging or shipping box.
  • Take clear photos of the damaged item and outer box.
  • Report the issue via My Account → Orders → Report Problem.
  • If delivered by courier, note visible damage on the delivery receipt.

📸 Required Photos & Documentation

To approve your claim quickly, include:

  • Photo of the damaged area up close.
  • Photo of the item in its original packaging.
  • Photo of the outer shipping box/label.
  • Your order confirmation number.
Tip: Good documentation = faster approval and replacement.

🔄 Replacement vs. Refund Options

  • Replacement: If the same item is in stock, it ships out in 2–3 business days.
  • Refund: If out of stock, a refund will be issued to your original payment method.
  • Store Credit: Available if you prefer immediate future purchase credit.

💰 Shipping Costs & Responsibility

  • For damaged or defective items, Pulingo covers return shipping.
  • You’ll receive a prepaid return label by email and in your account dashboard.
  • No restocking fees apply in these cases.

⏱️ Timeframe for Resolution

  • Claims are typically reviewed within 48 hours of submission.
  • Replacements ship within 2–3 business days once approved.
  • Refunds follow the standard 5–7 business days timeline.

🤝 When to Contact Support

Reach out if:

  • Your claim hasn’t been acknowledged within 48 hours.
  • The replacement hasn’t shipped after 5 business days.
  • You need additional help with large or high-value items.
Tip: Provide photos, order number, and courier receipt (if any) for faster resolution.
