Peeling




Questions to ask:

Guidelines:

What is the degree of peeling?

How bad is the peeling?

When did the peeling happen?

Upon arrival, unboxing, or during assembly?

When did the customer buy the item?

Check the purchase date and ask this question if the purchase date has exceeded 2 weeks.


Example: Given that this item was delivered on [date & time], may I please check with you when you first noticed that this item is damaged/defective?

How did the damage happen?

Especially important to ask if it seems unnatural or if it's been purchased for a long time. A sample of 'unnatural' peeling is shown [here].


Example: Could you please provide us with some details on how the damage occurred?

Is the photo provided by the customer clear?

Ensure that we can assess and understand the damage from the provided photo. Do not hesitate to kindly ask the customer to elaborate or provide close-up photos.


Example: Thank you for providing the requested images. However, may I please ask for your kind assistance in providing a close-up photo of the damaged hardware/part?
