Refund & returns policy

This policy explains when you can cancel, return or be refunded on an order placed with Valora. It applies to products delivered inside Zambia and to import orders sourced from China.

Last updated: August 2026

Issued by VALORA COMMERCIAL SERVICES LIMITED (trading as Valora), registered in Zambia.

1. Returns window

Items delivered inside Zambia may be returned within 7 days of delivery if they are damaged, faulty, incomplete, or materially different from the product page. Vehicles, machinery and custom-manufactured goods are assessed individually because of their value and specification.

Items must be returned in the condition they arrived, with original packaging and accessories where possible.

2. What is refundable

  • Wrong, faulty, damaged or incomplete items.
  • Orders we cannot fulfil or source after payment.
  • Import orders cancelled before goods are purchased in China.

Freight, customs duty and clearing charges already paid on your behalf are not refundable once incurred. Change-of-mind returns on non-faulty items may carry a handling and return shipping cost.

3. Import order stages

Import orders move through quotation, deposit, purchase, inspection, shipping and delivery. Cancelling before purchase in China is refunded in full. After purchase, refunds depend on what the supplier and freight partner have already committed. We show you the exact position of your order before any deduction is applied.

4. How to request a refund

  1. Contact us with your order reference (for example ZK-XXXXXX) and photos or video.
  2. We acknowledge your claim and confirm the next step.
  3. Where a return is needed, we arrange collection or a drop-off point.
  4. Once assessed, the refund is approved or a replacement is issued.

5. Refund timelines and method

Approved refunds are paid back to the same method you used — mobile money, bank transfer or card. Mobile money refunds are typically processed within 1–3 business days of approval, bank transfers within 3–10 business days, and card reversals within the timeframe set by your issuing bank.

6. Disputes

If you are unhappy with an outcome you can escalate the case for a second review by our management team. We keep records of the order, payment reference and inspection photos so that any dispute can be examined on evidence.
