Refund Policy

Last updated: June 26, 2026

Summary

Your payment is held in escrow until you confirm delivery. If a part is not as described, significantly damaged, or not delivered — you are entitled to a full or partial refund. Raise a dispute within 48 hours of receiving (or not receiving) your order.

When You Are Entitled to a Refund

You may request a refund if:

  • The part you received is significantly different from the listing description
  • The part arrived with undisclosed damage
  • The part does not match the vehicle compatibility stated in the listing
  • The seller failed to ship within 7 days and cannot provide a delivery timeline
  • You did not receive the order at all

Refunds are not available if:

  • You changed your mind after purchasing
  • The part does not fit due to a vehicle modification not mentioned in your query
  • You confirmed delivery before inspecting the part
  • The dispute is raised more than 48 hours after delivery

How to Request a Refund

Step 1: Contact the seller directly through the Platform messaging system and explain the issue.

Step 2: If the seller does not resolve within 24 hours, go to your Orders page and click Open Dispute.

Step 3: Our admin team will review the dispute within 2 business days. You may be asked to provide:

  • Photos of the part received
  • Photos of the packaging
  • Description of the mismatch

Step 4: We will issue a decision and process any refund within 3 business days of resolution.

Refund Amounts

Depending on the outcome of the dispute:

  • Full refund: issued if the part is significantly wrong or was never delivered
  • Partial refund: issued if there is minor cosmetic damage not material to function
  • No refund: if the part matches the description and the claim is unsubstantiated

Refunds are returned to the M-Pesa number used to make the original payment. Processing time is 1-3 business days after decision.

Return of Parts

For full refunds, the seller may request the part be returned before funds are released:

  • The seller covers return shipping costs if the error was on their side
  • The buyer covers return shipping if the dispute is found in the seller's favour
  • Parts must be returned in the condition received

If a seller requests a return but the buyer refuses without cause, we reserve the right to deny the refund.

Seller Payouts and Refunds

Sellers receive their payout only after:

  • The buyer confirms delivery, or
  • 7 days have passed since confirmed delivery with no dispute raised

If a refund is approved after a seller has been paid (in exceptional cases), the amount is deducted from future payouts.

Counterfeit and Dangerous Parts

If you believe a seller supplied counterfeit, dangerous, or stolen parts, contact us immediately at: safety@dailydrivesourcing.com

The seller account will be suspended pending investigation. A full refund will be issued in all confirmed cases of counterfeit goods.
