I wouldn't force a return to China unless the item is expensive enough to justify it. On most orders, the return shipping and hassle cost more than the product, and pushing it often ends in a chargeback, where the processor usually sides with the buyer. How I'd decide: 1. Run the math: product cost, refund fees, and your time versus the chargeback risk and a bad review. If it's a cheap item, refund, let them keep it, and close it out. 2. For higher-priced items, offer one clear choice in writing: a full refund on return, or a partial refund to keep the item, with a reply-by date. 3. Note the reason. If the same complaint keeps coming up on this product, it's a supplier or product page problem, not a one-off customer. On a normal low to mid priced order, I'd refund and move on. Save the hard return rule for expensive products where you actually get something back.
