Communications Policy

Communication Guidelines

As part of selling on the Collllor, Vendors (here Sellers) communicate with buyers both directly and indirectly. Collllor requires that sellers follow the guidelines below for any communication with buyers. The Communication Guidelines policy is meant to protect buyers from fraud and abuse, and to protect you from unscrupulous actions from your competitors.

Important: In general, you can contact buyers only to complete orders or to respond to customer service questions. You cannot contact buyers for marketing or promotional purposes (including via email, physical mail, telephone, or otherwise).

Collllor Inbox is the only approved method for communicating with buyers on Collllor.Sellers may contact buyers by clicking on the Buyer’s name or a Contact buyer button in Orders or in Inbox.

Direct communications

Order status messages

Each purchase order initiates an inbox feed, that contains all necessary information about this order. In the Order status feed, you may send Messages resolving an issue with an order, requesting additional information required to complete the order, asking a return-related question, sending an invoice, requesting product review or Seller feedback, or both, scheduling the delivery of a heavy or bulky order, verifying a custom design, or any other reason where the contact is required for the buyer to receive their order. Messages must be sent within 24 hours of order placement. All Messages include the order ID and be in English.

Reject (cancel) order messages

If you need to cancel the order, cancel it promptly using Orders in Seller Account. Always follow up on the cancelation with an apology to the buyer.

Note: Do not contact the buyer and request that they submit a cancelation request when you are unable to fulfill the order.

To avoid order cancellations, monitor your price submissions to ensure that they remain accurate. List your products with accurate descriptions and include high-quality images. Adjust your handling times to provide buyers with realistic delivery times. If it is a Collllor issue, please report using Send Feedback link from the top-right menu in your Account.

Why are order cancelations initiated by the Seller bad?

It is important to ensure that services you have listed on Collllor are available to order. When you cancel a purchase order, it's because some of your capabilities or prices were not listed or described) correctly. Of course, some percentage of miscalculations might be unavoidable in normal business practice, but we expect you to try to minimize such issues. High cancellation rates are a problem that can impact your ability to sell. In the short term, it also negatively affects your bottom line because an unfulfilled order is lost revenue to your company.

Modify order messages

You must communicate with buyers if the product ordered is not available to be fulfilled. Firstly, explain the reason for the adjustment as necessary. The message must contain a confirmation that the order amount needs an adjustment with the appropriate reason for the unavailability of the service. If you think you can fulfill the order but the shipment will be delayed beyond the advertised availability, you must notify the buyer about the delay. Secondly, adjust the full order amount using Orders in Seller Account and send it to the buyer's approval. If the buyer decides to cancel the order, they have 72 hours to do so. You will be notified via email about the order cancellation. If the buyer accepts the order, I automatically move into the "In Production" phase.

Return-related messages

You must process refunds for the order amount (minus any charges) using Orders in Seller Account. You may communicate with the buyer about the return only when you need additional information to complete the return or you are offering a partial refund.

Service Inquiry messages
