Friday FAQ’s, The Chinavasion Returns Process And Valentines Day

It’s been a very busy week here at Chinavasion, with everybody getting ready for the Chinese New Year break, I hope you are doing the same.

We took time out last Saturday though to celebrate the first anniversary of ‘PIPUM’ pictures

We were also busy thinking about resellers. we put together Hot Dropshipper Tips For A Successful 2010 and we did a no holds barred review of Magneto.

Somehow though we managed to find time to launch lots of great new electronics and answer plenty of questions.

I have a video that shows a problem of something I bought from you, how can I get it to you?

Just as we said previously putting videos on YouTube is not the best way to get a video to us.

Thankfully there are a number of ways to send us videos. Here are three ways to do that:

Videos Via GmailWhile email providers won’t allow you to send files larger than 25MB it is still possible to compress it by using WinZip or RAR and then attaching it that way. You can then email the file to chinavasion.com@gmail.com.

 

Videos Via MegaUploadMegaupload.com offers a free file sharing service. You have to become a member to use the upload function but there is a free membership option with 200GB of online storage available.

If you’ve created a Chinavasion account before you’ll be able to set up a megaUpload account without too much difficulty. And once that’s done the upload procedure is a fairly easy one. There’s a picture walk through below (just click on a picture to make it larger).

 

Just make sure that you address the email to and, in the box beside the SEND button, be sure to include your order number, the product code and the fault E.G: Order Number 5401 CVDX-M45 faulty screen.

Videos Via DropboxDropbox was the darling of Technorati and online workers alike due to it’s ease of use and fairly stable nature. Essentially it allows you to share folders with certain people and also give URLS of videos that you can send to us.

For more information about how it works visit getdropbox.com

Videos Via ScreencastScreencast.com operates a lot like Megaupload.com.

Like Megaupload you shouldn’t have any problems setting up an account with screencast.com if you’ve set up an account with Chinavasion however, you may find the upload and sharing process a little easier with the uploading and distributing broken into two distinctive steps. The fist thing to do is to log in and click on the ‘my library’ link on the main page (just click on a picture to make it larger).

Then once you’ve done that go to your image folder and you should see your file. Hold the mouse over the picture and you will see the buttons you need.

By uploading a video via one of these channels you will be surprised how quickly and easily your problems can be solved. And, you never know, you may find other uses for these services.

I am a reseller how can I handle the warranty?

Basically there are 5 steps to follow

1. Get all the details about the product issue from your customer. Ask him the pictures if the product is physically damaged and how he tried to operate the item.
2. Email us these details at , in the majority of the case we can solve the issue by email without having you to return the product. We will answer within one working day.
3. If we need product back here in Chinavasion, we will allow you as the reseller the Return Merchandize Authorization (R.M.A).
4. You will send the return instructions to you customer and let him return the product to our warehouse directly or you will receive his product and return it yourself.
5. We receive the product 3 weeks after we repair it we will contact you. We will ship the repair at the address you will have instructed. The shipping fee to send the repair will be covered by Chinavasion.

If the item is not repairable, we will offer credit on your Chinavasion account for further purchase.

If you would like to know more you can check out our knowledgebase article Warranty And Returns – Chinavasion Terms and Conditions. One important thing to remember is that we cannot offer your customers directly as our warranty agreement is with you our reseller and not your customer.

Product Review

 

Super Radio (Streaming Internet, DAB+, iPod/iPhone Dock) [CVNA-E63] You’ve probably heard of Digital television. Now welcome to the world of digital radio.

Digital radio opens up a whole new world of audio entertainment and the Super Radio brings digital radio and internet signals right into your living room.

• So to use internet radio, I basically type a URL into The Super Radio?
  No it’s easier than that. Register all your favorite radio and podcast stations at wifiradio-frontier.com. The Super Radio wirelessly connects with wifiradio-frontier portal server, and allows you to choose and listen to whatever internet streaming radio stations you have listed there.
• What about the readability of the user manual?
  It’s especially good. Perfectly written English. Good grammar. Clear instructions with diagrams. Copywriters were brought in for this project. If you’re using it yourself, you’ll love it. If you’re reselling it, your customers won’t have a problem with the setup or bother you with questions. Plus The Super Radio is pretty intuitive to use anyway.
• Any good Internet radio stations you can recommend?
  We like most radio stations on shoutcast.com, Live365.com, di.fm, sky.fm. Soma.fm is especially cool if you’re into eclectic. Enjoy.
