TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND QUESTIONS

WE SHIP QUICKLY

SHIPPING CHARGES FOR USA ORDERS

Shipping charges are calculated based on the total weight of your order. Oversized or heavy items or extremely large orders will incur extra fees. Small items will therefore receive reduced rates.

SHIPPING CHARGES FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

International shipping charges are calculated live on our website, based on the total weight of your order. We can no longer take international orders via telephone.

International shipments over $400 will require shipment via a method that provides a package tracking number.

BACKORDERS

A backordered item is an item that we normally carry in stock, but which is currently out of stock. When we put an item on backorder to you, we will automatically ship the item to you (via Standard Ground) when we receive the item back into our stock.

Backordered items to US addresses will be shipped via Standard Ground unless you specifically request otherwise, even if the original order was shipped via Air.

For retail orders to be shipped to the 50 states of the USA: There are no additional shipping charges when your backordered items are shipped unless you request Air shipment.

For orders to be shipped out of the USA: You will have to pay the actual shipping charges for the shipment of any backordered items. We may cancel your backorder if we are unable to contact you by E-mail to ask you to authorize the shipping charges for the backordered items.

Online "In Stock" status and estimated arrival dates are updated nightly. If an item sells out during the day, it will still show "In Stock" until the nightly update.

CREDIT CARDS THAT WE ACCEPT

RETURNS

Restocking Fees for Returns
Hobby Lobby will assess a 15% restocking fee for all returned merchandise, provided it is unopened and in perfect retail condition, and ready for subsequent resale.

Items returned that are not in retail condition may be rejected and sent back to you, postage COD, or, at the exclusive option of Hobby-Lobby, may be assessed a 50% restocking fee.

Refunds typically take 3-5 business days, from the date of issue, to show up on your account. We will give no refunds nor credits for returns that arrive more than 30 days from the date of our shipment to you.

Flight Simulator Software
Per manufacturer's requirements, ALL software is NOT returnable if the seal on the box has been broken. Please carefully check system requirements before ordering.

If you return something:
1. Don't wait to return it - Please send it back as soon as you can. You can find our Returns Form here on our website. You MUST be issued an RMA Number to return an item to us for a refund. Otherwise, we reserve the right to return the package back to you. Upon receiving your return, we will send you periodic email updates with the status of your refund or exchange.
2. Return a copy of our invoice or picking ticket, or tell us the order number.
3. Tell us what was wrong with the item.
4. If the item is altered in any way or is not in retail condition we will not take it back.
5. Please pack the item for return the way we packed it to prevent shipping damage.
6. If it is a Hitec product, please contact them directly at 858-748-8440.

We process returns as quickly as possible. If we have any questions we will contact you. Include as much information as possible as this will speed up the return process.

IF THE PACKAGE IS DAMAGED WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT

If a package that has obviously been damaged during shipment is delivered to your door, SIGN for it and note above your signature the word "damaged" (or "open" if the box was broken open), and request that the delivering company make an inspection.

If the damage during shipment was concealed, please notify the delivering carrier and call Hobby Lobby's claim department when you discover the damage. You must keep the damaged carton until the shipment has been inspected by the carrier.

Do not return the merchandise yourself. Hobby Lobby will process a claim and tell you exactly what to do next.
