What Is the Korea Consumer Dispute Mediation Calculator?

This calculator estimates Korean consumer dispute outcomes for appliance refund, laundry compensation, delivery compensation, and dispute-mediation procedure timeline.

The English calculator reuses the Korean functions for appliance depreciation, laundry compensation, delivery no-declaration cap, and procedure duration. It preserves Korean consumer-dispute standards such as residual value, 10 percent surcharge where applicable, 20 times cleaning fee logic, KRW 500,000 delivery cap for undeclared value, and extended procedure days.

Important Note

Consumer mediation outcomes depend on proof. Keep receipts, repair reports, warranty terms, photos, service-center statements, delivery invoice, declared value, and claim notices.

Supported Consumer Tracks

Track	Inputs	Korean standard reflected
Appliance refund	Purchase price, expected useful life, months used, warranty expired	Depreciated residual value plus dispute-standard adjustment
Laundry damage	Garment price, useful life, usage days, cleaning fee, proof status	Residual value and compensation cap logic, including cleaning-fee multiple
Delivery damage	Goods value, declared value, delivery fee, damage type, repair cost	Declared-value rule and KRW 500,000 cap when value was not declared
Procedure timeline	Normal or extended mediation	Expected consumer-dispute mediation duration and next-step window

Why the Result Is Full-Depth

Appliance results turn on depreciation and useful life, not a fixed refund percentage.
Laundry results change when damage is provable and when the compensation cap tied to cleaning fee applies.
Delivery results distinguish total loss, partial damage, repairable damage, declared value, and no-declaration cap.
Procedure mode gives a timeline estimate so users can plan complaint, mediation, and litigation steps.

Practical Claim Steps

Send a written claim that states the purchased item, price, defect or damage, date discovered, requested remedy, and evidence list. For delivery disputes, notify the carrier promptly and preserve packaging.

If the seller, laundry shop, carrier, or platform rejects liability, mediation records can still help frame a later small-claims or civil demand.

FAQ

Why is undeclared delivery value capped?

The Korean delivery model reflects the practical compensation cap for goods value that was not declared to the carrier, so the result can differ sharply from the actual purchase price.

Does warranty expiration end an appliance claim?

Not always. Warranty status affects the refund model, but consumer-dispute standards, defect timing, and repair history can still matter.
