Refund policy
We offer aΒ 90-day return policyΒ on all non-custom, non-painted items. To qualify, items must be:
- Unused and unpainted
- Returned in the same condition as received
- Properly packed for shipping
We ship with protective materials like bubble wrap to prevent damage. If your return arrives poorly packed and damaged in transit, it will be disqualified from a refund. If youβre unsure how to repack safely, reach outβweβd rather help than reject your return.
Custom & Made-to-Order Items
made-to-order products areΒ final saleΒ and are not eligible for returns or exchanges due to the time, labor, and materials involved. Because custom itemsΒ cannot be resold or remadeΒ without full production cost, shipping damage claims for these items must be filed directly with the carrier.
These items are fully insured during shipping. If a custom or made-to-order item arrives damaged, the recipient must file a claim directly with the carrier. Weβll assist where possible, but youβll need to provide:
- Proof of purchase
- Photos of the damaged item
- Photos of all packing material and the shipping box from all sides
Please keep all packaging materials until the claim is resolvedβdiscarding them may void your claim.
Assembly & Fragility Notice
Some items include small or delicate components that may shift or detach during transit due to their fragile nature or shipping vibrations. Detached but intact parts do not constitute damage or a defect.
To reduce breakage risk, certain parts may be intentionally packed unassembled and secured separately. This is a standard precaution and does not affect item completeness.
Customers are responsible for reattaching loose parts using a suitable adhesive (e.g., Gorilla Glue Gel or Bob Smith Industries Maxi-Cure cyanoacrylate).
