AFTER-SALES COORDINATION QUESTIONS

Questions Buyers Ask When an Order Issue Appears

The practical response depends on the order, evidence, affected quantity, contract and supplier position.

What evidence is required?

Useful evidence includes the order/SKU, issue description, photos or videos, affected quantity, discovery timing and buyer impact.

Can STC help with an order sourced before this project?

Possibly, when the order, supplier, product reference and evidence are available. The practical scope requires separate review.

What happens if the supplier disputes the claim?

The disputed facts and missing evidence are documented. STC can coordinate the discussion, but cannot impose liability or settlement.

Can replacement parts or goods be arranged?

They may be coordinated when the supplier agrees, the items are available and the logistics remain practical.

How are repeated issues tracked?

Cases can be grouped by SKU, issue, timing, location and affected quantity to identify a repeat pattern.

Does STC guarantee compensation?

No. Compensation depends on the contract, evidence, responsibility position and agreement between the parties.
