Products

Where does your merch originate from?

Most items are sourced directly from official channels in Mainland China, including both online and offline retailers, unless stated otherwise.


How often do you have new arrivals or restocks?

Restocks depend on official availability and are not guaranteed, especially for limited releases, preorder items, and group purchase items.

Do I have to pay customs fees?

Customs fees depend on your country’s import regulations. Most orders are not subject to additional charges.

If applicable, your local customs authority or courier will contact you directly. Prompt payment is required to avoid delays, returns, or disposal of the parcel.

We are not responsible for parcels returned or disposed of due to unpaid customs fees.


For customers in the United States

  • Regular shipping: No customs deposit required
  • Express shipping: A 30% refundable customs deposit may be required by the courier
  • The deposit is refunded upon submission of the official customs receipt

All parcels are declared at the minimum value required by the courier.


Why has my order arrived with some items missing?

To reduce customs risks and improve delivery success rates, orders may be shipped in multiple packages, especially if they contain sensitive items.

If items appear missing, the remaining parcels are likely still in transit.


Refunds & Exchanges

What is your refund and exchange policy?

Most items are final sale, in accordance with official supplier policies.

A reshipment or store credit may be provided if:

  • You received the wrong item
  • The item has major defects
  • Items are missing (with a valid unboxing video)
  • Your parcel shows no movement for over 20 business days, and 40 business days have passed since shipment

Sale, discounted, and promotional items are not eligible for refunds or exchanges.


What do I need to submit a claim?

An unboxing video is required for all claims involving missing or defective items.

This allows us to file claims with the official suppliers.


How do I request a refund, reshipment, or exchange?

Please email cs.cpop.universe@gmail.com with:

  • Your order number
  • Photos or an unboxing video
  • A brief description of the issue

Our team will respond within 2 business days.
