We are unable to offer refunds if you:
- Entered the incorrect address/insufficient address
- Have a dead package/dead mail because you did not pick up your package from your post office/parcel locker etc.
- Placed the incorrect email address, as we are unable to contact you properly.
- You do not respond to our emails regarding which photos to use for your order.
- Did not receive your kit at the time you have expected it (e.g. for a gift) because we have no control on the shipping times. As custom clearings and delayed logistics play a huge part in overall shipping time and we ship overseas.
After you order, and want to cancel the refund, please contact our customer service within 24 hours to cancel the order, otherwise once the production starts, the refund will be refused.
In the cases listed above, we will be glad to offer you a new kit to an address provided by you. We cannot give you a refund for your order, as we have already incurred costs for your personalized product and shipping.
If the package is returned, we will charge a $15 handling fee for each additional shipment.
Damaged or quality issues
If the product is damaged or has quality issues, we require a proof of the quality issue. This is for quality assurance reasons and so that we can continue to improve our products. If the quality issue is our fault, we will be glad to send you a new kit. If you can provide us photos via email which confirms the evidence of poor performance. If the evidence cannot be seen from the photos, the customer must return the item at his own expense. We will NOT send out a new kit without photo proof, the photo proof is used for documentation and quality management purposes.
If the customer suspects that the colors are wrong, he needs to complete the painting as proof to determine whether there really is a quality defect. Our experience has shown that the colors are correct in most cases.
We are also not liable for damages on kits caused by the delivery services. We will be glad to offer a new kit, should the damaged one be unfit for painting.
Please do not send your purchase back to the manufacturer.
