Solving typical problems: cancellations, returns, guarantee
Each category of problems requires a different approach, and we have compiled relevant algorithms for the most common situations, based on the experience of Russian buyers in 2026:
| Problem. | Channel of decision | Timeline | Documents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancellation of the order before shipment | Online chat or "Cancel" button in your personal account | 1-2 hours | Not required |
| Return of goods (marriage, non-conformity) | E-mail service.ru@xiaomi.com | 3-7 days | Photo/video of defect, order number |
| Delayed delivery >7 days | Phone. +86 400-100-5678 (English) | 24-48 hourly | Track number, status screenshot |
| Warranty repairs | Local service center Xiaomi in Russia | 10-30 days | Check, warranty card, passport |
Although the goods are purchased on Tmall, warranty service in Russia is possible under two conditions:
- The product has an international warranty (indicated on the product card as "Global Warranty").
- In the kit there is a warranty card with the stamp of the official dealer.
If one of the conditions is not met, warranty repairs at Russian service centers will be impossible, in which case you will have to send the device back to China at your own expense (which is often not economically feasible).

Frequent mistakes in communicating with support
Many customers slow down their problem by making common mistakes, and this is what you canβt do when you call in support of Xiaomi Russian Store:

- β Threaten or insult (this leads to the blocking of the account).
- β Ignore document requests (e.g., do not send a photo of a defect).
- β Wait for a response longer than 48 hours without a reminder (support often forgets requests).

- TM β for orders through Tmall.
