After-Sales Support for Existing Orders

Post-order support for buyers with an existing Ross order, PI or shipment. Report an issue, provide evidence, and follow the review process — this is separate from new purchase inquiries.

📋 Existing Order Support 🔍 Evidence-Based Review 🤝 Structured Resolution Path

⚠ Important: New purchase or existing order?

This page handles existing orders — orders already placed with a PI or shipment reference. If you are a new buyer looking for a quote or product recommendation, please use the contact page instead.

Mixing new inquiries with existing-order support slows down both. Keeping them separate lets us resolve your issue faster.

What Support Covers

What our after-sales support handles

After-sales support addresses issues that arise after an order is placed and shipped. These are the areas we handle.

📋

Specification Mismatch

Concerns that goods received do not match the confirmed order specification.

📦

Packing or Quantity Issue

Bale weight, packing format or quantity not matching the packing list.

Quality / Grade Concern

Concerns about grade, condition or classification against the agreed grade.

🚛

Logistics or Document Issue

Shipment delays, document discrepancies or transit-related issues.

Issue Type Classification

Not every issue is the same type

Different issues require different handling. We classify issues into four categories so the review process is appropriate to the situation.

🔄

Natural Variation

Variation that is expected within used goods and stated in advance on the specification.

  • Style, color or size differences within a grade
  • Visible signs of use consistent with the grade
  • Material composition varying within a mixed lot
  • Brand presence varying within a branded lot
Resolution path: Clarification — reference to the original specification and What May Vary.
💭

Expectation Gap

The received goods differ from the buyer’s expectation, but match the confirmed specification.

  • Expected near-new condition from a used grade
  • Expected specific brands that were not confirmed
  • Expected sell-through rate based on assumption
  • Expected market fit based on a different market context
Resolution path: Discussion — review the specification together and clarify future orders.
⚠️

Order Non-Conformity

Goods that do not match the confirmed order specification in a material way.

  • Grade classification below the agreed grade
  • Packing format or bale weight off specification
  • Quantity or product mix not matching the packing list
  • Missing product line that was confirmed in the PI
Resolution path: Evidence review — compare against order snapshot and specification.
🚛

Logistics External Issue

Issues that arise during transit or clearance, outside the goods themselves.

  • Shipment delay or route change by carrier
  • Document discrepancy at destination customs
  • Container damage during transit
  • Port handling issues at destination
Resolution path: Carrier / customs coordination — evidence required from the buyer’s side.
Used Goods Variation

What is natural variation — and what is not

Used goods naturally vary. Understanding what variation is expected helps distinguish a real issue from a specification misunderstanding.

What May Vary — the standard expectation

These are the variations that are expected within used goods and stated on the order specification. They are not defects or non-conformities.

🎨
Style & DesignPieces within a grade vary in style, design and fashion category.
🎨
ColorColor distribution within a grade is not fixed per piece.
📏
SizeSize ratios vary naturally within a mixed lot at any grade.
🏷️
BrandBrand presence is stock-sensitive and not guaranteed permanent.
🧵
MaterialMaterial composition varies within a lot, especially mixed categories.
🔍
Wear LevelWear varies within a grade — grade manages the range, not individual pieces.
Review Process

How we review an after-sales issue

Every reported issue follows the same review process — so you know what to expect at each stage.

1

Identify Order

Order number, PI reference or shipment ID — needed to locate the order record.

Without this, we cannot begin the review.
2

Identify Issue

Issue type and a clear description of what was found.

Vague reports take longer to resolve.
3

Evidence

Photos, videos, quantity counts and any relevant documents.

Evidence must be traceable to the actual goods.
4

Compare Specification

Review against the order snapshot and the confirmed specification.

Historical orders use the original specification.
5

Classify & Resolve

Classify the issue type and propose the appropriate resolution path.

Resolution depends on the classification.
Evidence Required

What to prepare when reporting an issue

Evidence makes the review faster and more accurate. These are the items we typically need to process an after-sales report.

📋
Order / PI ReferenceOrder number, PI number or shipment reference.
📸
PhotosClear photos of the goods showing the specific concern.
🎥
Video (if applicable)Video helps for issues involving volume, packing or distribution.
🔢
Quantity CountCounts of affected items or bales out of total received.
🏷️
Labels / Bale IDsBale labels, packing list references or order identification.
📄
Supporting DocumentsPacking list, arrival notice or any relevant transit document.
Note: Evidence should be traceable to the actual goods and the specific order. Generic photos or photos not linked to the order cannot be used for the review. If you are unsure what evidence to send, contact us first.
Resolution Path

Possible outcomes of a review

The resolution depends on the issue classification and the evidence. These are the possible paths — not a fixed outcome.

Resolution depends on the classification

We do not promise a fixed outcome for any issue. The appropriate resolution depends on the issue type, evidence quality and comparison against the confirmed specification.

💬

Clarification

For natural variation — reference to specification and what was stated in advance.

🔄

Adjustment on Next Order

For expectation gap — agreed adjustment on a subsequent order configuration.

🤝

Case-by-Case Resolution

For non-conformity — resolution discussed based on evidence and magnitude.

🚛

External Coordination

For logistics issues — coordination with carrier or customs on the buyer’s behalf.

📋

Process Improvement

Feedback used to improve future sorting, packing or specification handling.

📝

Documentation Update

Where the issue reveals a documentation gap, we update the specification format.

Note: We do not offer 100% satisfaction guarantees, full refund guarantees, unconditional replacement or fixed settlement timelines. Each issue is reviewed case by case against the specification and evidence.
Responsibility Boundaries

Who handles what in an issue

Clear responsibility boundaries prevent confusion. Each party in the transaction handles a specific part of the process.

🏭

Ross

Product, grade, packing, loading and export documents at origin.

🚢

Logistics / Carrier

Transit, handling and delivery to the destination port.

📄

Customs / Import

Clearance, duties and regulatory compliance at destination.

🏢

Buyer / Local Market

Local delivery, storage, resale and local market outcome.

Prevention Before Shipment

Reducing issues before they happen

The best after-sales process is prevention. These are the steps that reduce the chance of an issue arising in the first place.

What happens before shipment

Before your order leaves our facility, it passes through verification steps designed to prevent common after-sales issues.

After-Sales FAQ

Questions about after-sales support

Do you offer a refund guarantee or unconditional replacement?
No. We do not offer 100% satisfaction guarantees, full refund guarantees, unconditional replacement or fixed settlement timelines. Each issue is reviewed case by case against the confirmed order specification and the evidence provided. The resolution path depends on the issue classification.
How long does issue resolution take?
We do not promise a fixed resolution timeline. Review time depends on the complexity of the issue, evidence quality and the parties involved. For logistics-related issues, resolution may also depend on the carrier or customs authority. We keep you informed at each stage of the review process.
What if the goods vary from my expectation but match the specification?
This is classified as an Expectation Gap. It means the goods match the confirmed specification, but your expectation was different. The resolution path is discussion — reviewing the specification together and clarifying future orders. This is why we state What May Vary up front on every product and order specification.
How do historical orders get reviewed?
Historical orders are reviewed against the ORDER-SNAPSHOT-01 record and GRADE-VER-01 grade verification. We use the specification that was confirmed at the time of your order — not today’s standard. This ensures the review is fair and consistent with what you actually agreed to.
What if the issue is caused by the carrier or customs?
Issues caused by the carrier or customs are classified as Logistics External Issues. In this case we coordinate with the carrier or customs on your behalf, using the evidence you provide. Resolution depends on the carrier or customs authority — not solely on Ross. We provide support but cannot override external decisions.
Can I report an issue without photos or video?
You can submit a report without evidence, but the review will be limited without traceable evidence. For non-conformity issues in particular, evidence linked to the actual goods is essential. If you cannot provide evidence at the time of report, let us know and we will guide you on what is needed.
Is this the same as the contact page?
No. This page handles existing orders — orders already placed with a PI or shipment reference. New purchase inquiries, quote requests and product recommendations should go through the contact page instead. Keeping the two channels separate lets us resolve issues faster and avoids mixing new inquiries with after-sales cases.
