Once the team starts building your unit, your warranty will guarantee you a fully functional and operational product.

All sales of custom-made and made-to-order products are final.
Return and Exchange Policy
Responsibility for Shipping Costs: Customers are responsible for both the cost of return shipping and the shipping cost for any new products exchanged or refunded. Additionally, a restocking fee is applies for returned products. If customers wish to return the product, they must submit a return claim within 7 days of receiving the item.
Conditions for Return: Returned products must be unused and unopened. If your order has left the warehouse, it is not possible to receive a full refund. If you choose to return an item once it has shipped, you will be responsible for any associated return shipping and restocking fees.
Shipping Estimates: Shipping estimates are subject to change due to factors beyond our control. Most products come with guaranteed warranty policies, ensuring you receive a fully functional product without additional expenses. Check individual product pages for details.
Exchange Policy: You may exchange your product within 30 days unless specified otherwise. As the customer, you are responsible for any shipping costs associated with the return or exchange process. Note that not all orders are eligible for return once shipped. This is because we order products directly from the manufacturer, and if the manufacturer does not permit returns, we cannot offer you a return. This varies on a case-by-case basis, so please contact us if you have any questions about your specific product.
Restocking Fee: Due to the increasing cost of LTL/freight shipping, outright returns will incur a 25% restocking fee plus return shipping costs. However, if you are replacing the product with something else, we may be able to help you cover some of the costs, depending on the product.
Shipping Times
We do our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. However, please note that estimated shipping times provided on our product pages are based on information from our suppliers and freight companies, and these times may change or vary without notice due to factors such as supply chain issues, delays in manufacturing or shipping, overwhelming demand, and issues with factory/warehouse and dock workers.
We understand that order delays can be frustrating, but please be patient and understanding with us during these challenging times. We appreciate your business and thank you for your patience.
