Lost Packages

If you have not received your order, and feel your package may be lost, please contact us.

All packages, excluding USPS First Class Mail and USPS First Class International, are insured for 100% of the package's value.
Before a claim can be filed for a lost package, we must allow the US Postal Service the full time allotted for delivery. We can initiate an investigation with the US Postal Service once the allotted delivery time has passed. No insurance claim will be filed before 21 days from the day the order was shipped.

Here is the timetable for tracing lost packages:
USPS Express Mail - 10 business days from the day the order was shipped
USPS Priority Mail - 14 business days from the day the order was shipped
USPS First Class Mail - 21 business days from the day the order was shipped
USPS International Mail - 45 business days from the day the order was shipped

Please allow RPP Hobby 2 business days to contact the US Postal Service regarding your missing package and initiate the investigation. Then the US Postal Service shall be allowed 3-5 business days to conduct their investigation. Once the claim process has been completed we will either, replace the package or credit your account for the full amount. In some cases we may offer a refund for the full amount of the order.


Please do not open a PayPal claim or file a charge-back with your Credit Card Company against the order, as this will further delay the process.

Upon completion of the insurance process, a store credit will be issued for the amount of the products.

RPP Hobby is not responsible for damage or theft occurring once the tracking for the package shows delivered.


Damaged Merchandise

If you have received your order, and your merchandise was damaged in transit, please contact us within 3 business days of receipt of your package. Your RPP Hobby Customer Service Representative will advise you how to proceed. Please keep all packaging (box, packing paper, etc.) until the claim process has completed. Please take pictures of the damaged package and merchandise. This is an insurance company requirement.

Return Policy
We have prepared a worksheet that explains our returns process and policies. Please click here to download the worksheet in PDF format.

Product Warranties and Guarantees

All warranties and guarantees, including items packaged incorrect, are handled directly by the original manufacturer of the item and should be sent to them, not RPP Hobby. Most product warranties are handled with the manufacturer. Every manufacturer's policy is different; in some situations, the manufacturer or supplier may prefer to handle the issue directly and RPP Hobby will not be able to offer you a solution directly. In any case, we will help you follow the proper channels in order to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Most manufacturers will repair or exchange defective products according to their warranty policies. If the manufacturer does not handle your claim to your satisfaction, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.

Canceling Orders

We cannot cancel orders that are already shipped. If your order has already been shipped by the time we receive your cancellation request, you must go through the return process and will be subject to a 20% restocking fee.

Refused Orders

If you decide to refuse an order upon attempted delivery, your order will be subject to fees associated with the return. Including but not limited to a 20% restocking fee, two-way shipping charges, etc... All fees are subject to RPP Hobby's discretion. We strongly recommend that you accept the merchandise and then proceed through our normal return process.

Returned Orders
If an order is returned by the shipping company for any reason, your order will be subject to fees associated with the return. Including but not limited to a 20% restocking fee, two-way shipping charges, etc... All fees are subject to RPP Hobby's discretion. We will not refund the original shipping charges once an order has shipped. We will attempt to reship the order once we have a confirmed shipping address and collect additional money to cover the cost to reship the order.


Refunds

Refunds will be issued back to the original method of payment. No refund will be issued after 60 days from the original payment date; store credits will be issued. All refunds are subject to approval by RPP Hobby and will be subject to a 20% restocking fee. To avoid the 20% restocking fee, please request to have a store credit issued to your account. Refunds to credit cards may take 3-5 days for processing by the bank or credit card issuer. This is beyond our control and we cannot decrease the processing time. You will need to contact your bank for assistance.


Pre-orders/Backorders

All orders must be paid in full to be considered valid. Pre-orders are filled in the order they are received, as the product becomes available. ETA's (Estimated Time of Arrival) shown are strictly ESTIMATED times of arrival as provided to us by the Distributor and/or Manufacturer. Orders with pre-order or backorder items will be held until the item arrives, or the provided ETA. If the ETA has passed and the item hasn't been received we will contact the buyer via provided contacting information. Please insure your contact information is correct and up to date or your order may be cancelled.

Most coupon codes are not valid on pre-orders.

If the buyer would like for any in stock items on the order to be shipped at the time of purchase there will be an additional shipping fee for the second shipment. If an order containing a backorder or pre-order item qualifies for free shipping and the buyer decides to cancel the aforementioned item, if the order would no longer qualify for free shipping, the buyer will be responsible for shipping fees.

Special Orders
If you don't see a part you need, we may be able to special order the part for you!
All special order items are sold as-is and returns are not accepted on special order items.
Payment is required in advance for all special orders.
Once a special order has been placed the order will be held to ship complete once all the order items have arrived.
