We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this causes.

Processing

The shipping process will be initiated after we have received payment.
We usually ship our items (currently in stock) within 2—5 business days (Mon—Fri).
Preorder items will be shipped within 2—5 business days of the item's arrival at our warehouse.
We will send you an email notifying you when your order has been shipped.

International Paint & Supply Orders

While we can ship paints and supplies internationally, please be aware that each country has its own rules and regulations for what can be imported.
If a package is declined by importing customs at the destination, we can issue a refund for the purchase price of the items upon their arrival back to our warehouse.
Please note that we can NOT refund the shipping cost in this case.

Cancellations

If your order is not in "Complete" or "Shipped" status, you may be able to cancel an item or the entire order by contacting us.
If in-stock items have been held for a cancelled order, a minimum 5% fee will apply to the cancellation. If preorder quantities for a cancelled item have been finalized to our distributor, a 10% fee will apply. We reserve the right to increase fees due to frequent cancellations.
If your item(s) are already shipped out, you might be able to return them at your expense.
Please see if your item is eligible for a return.

Preorder Shipping

If you select the "Preorder - Pay shipping cost later" option at checkout, we will contact you to arrange for payment as soon as the item arrives.
If we don't receive payment for shipping within a week of the original contact date, the preorder will be cancelled and returned to stock, and you will be refunded the purchase price minus a 5% restocking fee.

Address Errors

Please make sure the address you provide is complete and accurate. If your package is marked as undeliverable because of an incomplete or incorrect address, we will notify you when it is returned to us for re-shipment at your own expense. If you choose to refund your order upon its return, we will not be able to refund the shipping cost. If the package was sent UPS, you will also be responsible for the return shipment cost.
If there was an address error and the tracking history shows it was delivered, refund will not be possible.

Returns

New, unused, and sealed merchandise may be returned or exchanged within 10 days of delivery with an original packing invoice at your own expense.
All returns are subject to a 10% restocking fee (+shipping fee if you selected free shipping).
All merchandise must be in the original packaging.
No returns, refunds, exchanges, or credits will be issued without the original packing invoice.
In the case of a defective item, returns/exchanges can be made after replacement is received from the manufacturer and after the defective is returned.
Customers are advised to contact us using the contact form provided in the event of a merchandise return.
Our returns address is as follows:
Gundam Planet Returns
140 Lawrence St
Hackensack, NJ 07601

Damaged Items & Lost Packages

Our extra insurance shipping option allows you to insure the contents of your package against loss or damage. Please note that this process must go through our insurance partner's system and can take up to 30 days to resolve.

• If the package is damaged en route to the shipping address, we will refund a percentage of the subtotal based on the severity of the damages. Replacement packages will not be sent in the event of cosmetic damages to item packaging. Thank you for your understanding.
• if the package is lost in transit, we will either locate and forward the package or issue a refund for the purchase price.

If you decline the extra insurance coverage option, Gundam Planet can not be held liable for any loss or damage that occurs once the item is shipped. By declining this option, you are agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless Gundam Planet from and against all claims and expenses resulting from damage or loss in transit.
Once a package is shipped out of the warehouse, it becomes the responsibility of the recipient and the carrier. If the package is lost in transit, you may open an investigation to find the package or receive insurance for a replacement. These investigations are subject to the carrier policies.
If the package status reads "Delivered" but the package has not reached the recipient, he or she may be required to contact local delivery services to locate the package.
Regular ground shipping without the extra insurance option covers only what is outlined in the UPS/USPS insurance policies.
