What happened?
TikTok Shop Singapore recently updated its Returns and Refunds page, stating that under the Alternative Service Solution scenario, consumers must ship the item within 10 calendar days after their return and refund request is approved. The rule applies to the Singapore market, and sellers using Southeast Asia cross-border warehouses, local return addresses, or platform-managed after-sales services need to monitor this after-sales time window. Sellers should review processes for warehouse receipt confirmation, overdue-return assessment, refund triggering, and inventory recovery to ensure the platform can determine promptly whether the consumer completed the return after the 10-day period ends. For categories with higher return rates, including apparel, footwear, and home goods, sellers should distinguish between return-package intake, inspection, resale, and refund statuses to avoid disputes or automatic refunds caused by delayed warehouse scans.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
After a return and refund request is approved on the Singapore site, the consumer must ship the item within 10 calendar days. Align overdue-return assessments, refund processing, and inventory recovery with this window. Sellers using Southeast Asia cross-border warehouses, local return addresses, or platform-managed after-sales services should particularly prevent disputes or automatic refunds caused by delayed warehouse receipt confirmation or scanning.
What should sellers do now?

- 2For apparel, footwear, home goods, and other high-return-rate categories, create a return-package status table recording intake, inspection, resale, and refund status separately, and ensure all relevant listings can be checked item by item after completion.
- 3Create an after-sales ledger for every approved return on the Singapore site, recording the approval time, the consumer’s shipping status, and the warehouse scan result, so that every case can be assessed when the 10-calendar-day window ends.
