📌 When This Applies

You should report your order if:

  • The product arrived broken or defective

  • You received an incorrect item (wrong color, size, or variation)

  • The item is expired, spoiled, or damaged during shipping

📌 Tip: Always check your package as soon as it arrives to catch any issues early.

🛒 Step 1: Check Your Order

  • Log in to your PinoyHive account.

  • Go to My Orders and select the affected order.

  • Confirm that the item matches your purchase receipt.

📝 Step 2: Submit a Report

  1. Click “Report Issue” or “Request Return” on the order page.

  2. Choose the reason for your report, such as:

    • Damaged item

    • Wrong item received

  3. Provide supporting evidence, including:

    • Clear photos of the item and packaging

    • Description of the issue (e.g., cracks, wrong color)

📌 Tip: Good photos and clear details help speed up approval.

⏳ Step 3: Wait for Seller Response

  • The seller will review your report and approve a replacement or refund.

  • You will be notified via email or app notification once the request is approved.

  • If there’s no response, PinoyHive Customer Support can assist in mediating the issue.

🚚 Step 4: Return the Item (If Required)

  • Pack the defective or wrong item securely, including all original packaging and accessories.

  • Ship it back to the seller using the recommended courier.

  • Keep the tracking number as proof of return shipment.

📌 Tip: Some sellers may offer a no-return replacement, depending on the item type.

💰 Step 5: Replacement or Refund

Once the seller receives and verifies your return:

  • Replacement: The correct or undamaged item will be shipped to you.

  • Refund: The amount will be returned via your original payment method:

    • COD – Order cancellation confirmed

    • GCash / Maya – 1–3 business days

    • Debit/Credit Card – 5–10 business days

    • Online Banking – 3–7 business days

🛡 Tips for a Smooth Process
