Before we discuss how to ask refund in Shopee, let’s dive into their refund policy.

First, you can only ask for a refund if you haven’t clicked the Order Received button next to the Return/Refund button. But if your parcel arrived, but the Order Received button isn’t appearing, wait within 24 hours so the couriers can update the status of your purchase.
