Payment

1. How do I pay?

7. When is the payment deadline?
Our payment terms are divided into two steps.
The first step is to provide the wire transfer stub within 72 hours after the invoice is issued.

Meeting the deadline in both steps is crucial for a successful purchase.
If we do not receive the wire transfer stub within 72 hours or the remittance confirmation from our bank within 120 hours, the corresponding product will no longer be accepted for purchase by other buyers.

10. What if I am unable to make the payment before the deadline?
If we do not receive a copy of the wire transfer within 72 hours or a bank receipt within 120 hours, the product will be available for others to purchase.
If the payment arrives at our bank after the deadline, the following situations may occur:
A. If the product is still available (unsold or reserved), we will accept your payment, send you a 'payment confirmation', and initiate the process of transporting the vehicle to the designated port.
B. If the product has been reserved or sold, you have the following options:
B-1: If the product has been reserved, you can wait for its status to change to 'available' or 'sold'.
B-2: If the product has already been sold, you can choose a similar product for sale and use the payment you sent to make the purchase. In this case, we can expedite the shipping process to ensure that you receive the vehicle faster. (Suggestion)
B-3: If there are no other options, you can apply for a refund from the bank, and the bank transfer fee will be borne by you. In this case, we will charge a handling fee of $150.
