Shipping Time Frames

Ground Shipping (2-7 Days Arrival Time)
Most Ground packages will be shipped within 48 hours after payment is received. Expect to receive your item within 2-7 days depending on your proximity to our warehouse.

*Orders using coupons do not quality for free shipping unless otherwise noted.

2nd Day Shipping
Packages are usually shipped the following business day from the date of order. However we cannot guarantee that items will be received in that time due to shipping service or acts of God. But we promise to make every effort possible to ensure you get your products in your time frame. 2nd Day does NOT mean you will get the product in 2 days as some products take up to 48 hours to actually ship from our warehouse. Please keep in mind that during free shipping promotional offers which occur from time to time, if you return an order, we will deduct our actual postage cost from the refund amount.

• NOTE - some items are NOT eligible for 2nd Day or International.
• Neon signs have a high sensitivity to altitudes and often burst. In the event you choose 2nd Day for this type of item, we will automatically change your order to Ground.
• Some hidden cameras are custom made to order and may not be available to ship right away

In-stock orders normally ship within 1-2 business days unless otherwise noted. Delivery times are usually within 5-10 days from order. All shipping transit times quoted are business days (Monday-Friday), not calendar days or holidays.

Oversized Shipping
Rarely, an order will qualify as oversized shipping. This can either be due to the overall dimension and/or weight. Oversize packages require higher shipping charges than normal. If your order qualifies as oversized, you will be e-mailed by our team informing you what the additional cost would be to ship. It will be completely up to you whether you wish to pay the difference or we can cancel your order and refund you 100%.

International Shipping
International Orders average Transit Time: 5 - 15 business days. If you need your item faster, please contact us to see what options are available to you.

Duties and Taxes

The only fees covered in our shipping costs are standard international shipping fees. We do not cover any duties, taxes, brokerage or any other fees when shipping internationally. Every country is different and we cannot account for longer than expected delivery times if packages are held in customs. If you are unsure about extra fees or customs delays, please contact your local post office prior to purchasing to learn about what fees may apply to you. Please check your local law before any order.

Customs Responsibility
Swords and bladed weapons are restricted in some countries, states or regions. If you are not sure about law in your country, ask your customs office for permission to import these items prior to purchase. Customer accepts ALL responsibility with complying with their country's custom laws. If item is confiscated by your customs, we are NOT responsible. Please check with your customs in advance. Customer is responsible for any and all customs fees or other related costs. We can NOT be responsible if item is lost and/or damaged in shipping. It is YOUR responsibility to deal with the shipping agent you request. All shipping costs are non-refundable.

Next Day Service
Because of various circumstances, not all products can be shipped next day, however, if you need a package overnighted, please contact a member of our customer support team who will be happy to assist you in obtaining a package Next Day.

Shipping Service
Depending on your location, we will automatically choose the most efficient and cost effective means of transportation which is best for your location in the world. This could mean that your package will arrive via UPS, FedEx, USPS, or International Air.

If the addresses are different, please contact your credit card company to add the alternate shipping address as an authorized secondary address. Your credit card company's phone number can be found on the back of your credit card.

Reimbursements

General Return Guidelines & Preparing Your Items(s) for Return Shipping:

You MUST receive a RMA# prior to sending anything back for any reason. Our warehouse cannot receive returned packages without an approved RMA# and you will not be reimbursed for those items. It will be your responsibility to pay for any and all fees relating to shipping the item back to you. All returns must be in original, new and re-sellable condition and include all of the original contents (manufacturer packaging, instruction manuals, warranty card, accessories, etc.) and be received in the same condition in which you received them. We reserve the right to refuse returns on items that are not in new condition or apply a damage/re-stocking fee of up to 100% of the purchase price if these conditions are not met.

Credits
Please note that we can only credit the account to which the purchase was originally made. Upon our receipt of your product you should allow up to 2 weeks for your credit to be processed. Credit will be in full, less any applicable shipping and handling fees and re-stocking fees.

Use Trackable Mailing
You MUST use some type of trackable mailing service as we cannot be responsible for lost packages. (USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation is acceptable). It is the only way to protect YOU in the event of lost packages. Things can and do get lost. Gadgets and Gear is not responsible for items lost or damaged during return shipping.

Please Take Care When Packing
Some products may be fragile. Therefore please pack your items exactly how they arrived to you to prevent breakage. Please pack the items securely in the box we used to ship your order to you, or another sturdy shipping box, so that they will not be damaged during the return shipment.

To request a return, simply submit an RMA FORM within 7 days of the delivery date. After your request is processed (usually within 2-3 days) we will reply with return instructions. Please ensure that the item is in its original condition (including: packaging, manuals, warranties, accessories, security seals, and shrink wrap). We must receive your item back within 10 days from when the RMA# is issued. Merchandise returned with damaged or missing items are not eligible for a refund and will be returned back to the customer at your expense if you choose to do so.

Exchanges/Defective Items
Defective items may be covered under manufacture warranty for up to 30 days from the date of receipt of your items. All exchanges will be processed same day we receive in our warehouse, and a new item will be shipped directly to you. You will not incur any costs for defective items as long as the items were not damaged due to misuse, which will be inspected and evaluated at time of arrival.

General Returns
Only products returned in their original, resealable and resellable packaging along with all manuals and parts will be accepted. Failure to do so may result in no refund. The customer MUST cover all shipping back to our address. NO EXCEPTIONS. As detailed on our terms & conditions, there may be a 20% restocking fee applied to your account upon return, unless otherwise noted.

Filling out this form does NOT guarantee that your request will be honored. All RMA are subject to review and approval and may take up to 2-3 days for a response. DO NOT send back any merchandise without an RMA number. *** Please Note *** Customers must pay for and cover all traceable shipping of products to our offices. In addition, there will be a 20% handling fee for each product returned. Only products returned in their original, resealable packaging along with all manuals and parts will be accepted. Failure to do so may result in no refund. The customer must then cover all shipping back to their address.

Original shipping charges are non-refundable. Free shipping promotions and other coupon offers/discounts will be deducted from your refund. Goods and consumables such as software, CDs, DVDs, cologne, cosmetics, candy, and plants/seeds are NOT returnable. For your protection, we recommend that all returns be sent back via traceable carrier. The customer must pay all costs related to return shipping. After receiving and inspecting the returned merchandise, we will reimburse your credit card for the purchase price of the item, less the original shipping fee and less a possible restocking fee of up to 100% off the purchase price depending on the condition of the returned item(s). For refunds on purchases made with a credit card, we will issue a credit to the same credit card used to make the purchase.

Defective Returns: Most of our products are backed by our 30 day warranty. We will replace or repair the item if it stops working within 30 days of the purchase date. If the item shows signs of misuse, it will not be accepted for return. Items returned, that are being claimed as defective or damaged, WILL BE SUBJECT to a 20% restocking fee if they are found to be in working order.
