⚖️ Responsible Party: ZTO Express (package lost in transit)
📜 Legal Basis: 《快递暂行条例》Article 27
💰 Claimable: 1200 CNY (with Taobao order proof, uninsured)
Conservative: Courier may offer only 3-5x shipping fee (~45-75 CNY)
→ Postal appeal needed to override cap
📈 Recommended Path: Taobao logistics dispute + National Post Office appeal (parallel)
📄 Generated: Claim Letter ✓, National Post Office Appeal ✓, Evidence Checklist ✓
Prompt 2: Insured Goods Damage — English
Input: I used SF Express to ship a mirrorless camera, insured for 8000 yuan, shipping cost 68 yuan. The recipient opened it and found the screen cracked. I have an unboxing video. SF said "need to verify" — it's been 10 days with no result.
Expected output:
text
⚖️ Responsible Party: SF Express (insured goods damaged in transit)
📜 Legal Basis: 《快递暂行条例》Art. 27 — insured items paid at the lower of actual loss or insured amount
💰 Claimable: Screen repair ~1500-2500 CNY (actual loss < insured 8000 → full actual loss)
+ Shipping refund (68 yuan)
📈 Recommended Path: Level 3 National Post Office appeal immediately (company complaint >7 days)
📄 Generated: SF Claim Letter ✓, Postal Appeal ✓, Evidence Checklist ✓
💡 Tip: Unboxing video is the strongest evidence. You're in a good position.
⚖️ Responsible Party: YTO Express (false delivery — courier signed without consent)
📜 Legal Basis: 《快递暂行条例》Art. 25 (delivery to agreed address required)
💰 Claimable: 89 CNY (item value) + shipping refund
📈 Recommended Path: Level 2 Pinduoduo platform dispute first (fast for small amounts)
→ Level 3 National Post Office if platform doesn't resolve
📄 Generated: Claim Letter ✓, Pinduoduo Logistics Complaint Template ✓
Prompt 4: Cross-Border — Customs Hold (English)
Input: My textbooks from Amazon US are stuck at customs for 2 weeks. EMS tracking EE123456789CN, worth $280. They want me to pay 450 yuan duty but textbooks should be tax-free.
Expected output:
text
⚖️ Analysis: Personal-use textbooks are generally duty-exempt (≤10 volumes)
《中华人民共和国海关进出境印刷品及音像制品监管办法》
💰 Claim Focus: Zero customs duty (legally exempt)
Investigate whether it's actually storage fees or misclassification
📈 Recommended Path:
1. Verify charge source with EMS (11183) — ask Chinese speaker for help
2. Submit duty exemption declaration with proof (Amazon receipt, ISBN list)
3. If denied → China Customs hotline 12360
4. If EMS detention exceeds 15 days → National Post Office appeal
📄 Generated: EMS Inquiry Script (Chinese+English) ✓, Customs Complaint Template ✓
⚖️ Legal Analysis: Courier dropping at station without YOUR consent violates
《快递暂行条例》Art. 25. Any storage fee incurred should be borne by the courier, not you.
💰 Claimable: Fee waiver (0 yuan charged to you)
📈 Recommended Path:
1. Refuse to pay storage fee; ask station to contact courier
2. Call courier company to complain about unauthorized drop-off
3. If unresolved → National Post Office appeal (effective for this type)
💬 "This package was dropped at the station without my consent per 《快递暂行条例》Art. 25.
The storage fee is not my responsibility. Please resolve this."
Input: Deppon Express damaged my 65-inch TV during moving. TV value 4500 yuan, insured only 3000. They only offer 2000 yuan compensation. I have unboxing video.
Expected output:
text
⚖️ Legal Analysis: Deppon's offer of 2000 yuan is incorrect.
《快递暂行条例》Art. 27: Insured item → paid at the lower of actual loss or insured amount.
Actual loss 4500 > insured 3000 → FULL 3000 yuan (not 2000).
💰 Claimable: 3000 yuan (full insured amount) + shipping refund
Difference 1500 yuan borne by user (insufficient insurance)
📈 Recommended Path:
1. Re-contact Deppon 95353 with legal citation → demand full 3000
2. If not resolved in 3 days → National Post Office appeal
3. Concurrently → 12315 complaint for deceptive compensation practice
💡 With unboxing video and proof of insurance, this is a strong case.
Prompt 7: Business Traveler Luggage Damage (English)
Input: I used SF Express to ship my luggage from Shanghai to Beijing. Suitcase wheel broken + business suit (2800 yuan) stained. Shipping 168 yuan, insured 500 yuan. Have photos of damage.
Expected output:
text
⚖️ Liability: SF Express — fully liable (insured, documented damage)
💰 Compensation: Insured cap 500 yuan (actual loss ~4000 > insured 500)
+ Shipping refund 168 yuan
Total claimable: 668 yuan
📈 Recommended Path:
1. SF Express 95338 → demand full insured amount 500 + shipping refund
Persist through escalation script ✓
2. If underpaid → National Post Office appeal
📄 Generated: SF Claim Letter ✓, Evidence Checklist ✓
💡 Lesson: Insure at full replacement value next time.
Scenario 1: Expat in China — Lost Package with No Chinese Skills
Context: John, an expat in Shanghai, ordered a laptop stand (¥399) from Taobao. ZTO tracking shows "delivered" but he never received it. Seller says "contact ZTO yourself." John can't speak Chinese well enough to file a complaint.

👤 User: My package says delivered but I didn't get it. ZTO,

ZTO Express is liable under 《Interim Regulations on Express Delivery》
(Article 27). The courier logged a false delivery confirmation.
💰 Claimable: ¥399 (Taobao receipt as value proof) + shipping refund
📈 Recommended Path:
Step 1 → Taobao App → My Orders → Dispute Logistics (English-friendly UI)
Step 2 → Simultaneously contact ZTO via 95311 (ready-to-use Chinese script with pinyin ↓)

Flow:
text
👤 User: My textbooks from Amazon are stuck in customs for 2 weeks.
EMS tracking EE123456789CN, worth $280. Now they want 450 yuan
duty but textbooks should be tax-free, right?
🤖 AI: You're right — personal-use textbooks are generally duty-free.
⚖️ Analysis:
• Personal textbooks (≤10 volumes) → exempt from customs duty
per 《海关进出境印刷品及音像制品监管办法》
• If held >15 days without notification → possible EMS handling issue
💰 Claim Focus: Zero customs duty (legally exempt)
• Also check if ¥450 is misrepresented storage/customs broker fees
📈 Recommended Path:
Step 1 → Verify the ¥450 charge source with EMS (11183)
(is it duty, storage fee, or broker charge?)
Step 2 → Explain textbooks are duty-exempt; request release
Step 3 → If held >15 days → National Post Office + Customs (12360)

• Shipping refund: 168 yuan
• Total claimable: 668 yuan
⚠️ Actual loss (4000+) >> insured (500), so recovery capped at insured amount.
📈 Path:

Step 2 → If offers < 500 → National Post Office appeal
Step 3 → 12315 consumer complaint
📄 Generated:
• SF Express Formal Claim Letter ✓
• Damage Evidence Checklist ✓
• Postal Appeal Form (backup) ✓
💡 Lesson: Insure at full replacement value next time.
