Shipping, Returns & Warranty

Domestic Shipping

Please add any items to your cart to get the shipping prices and options. When you place an order, we will estimate shipping and delivery dates for you based on the availability of your items and the shipping options you choose. Please also be aware that many items on the website have their own certain shipping information.

Shipment Processing Time

Depending on the shipping provider you choose, shipping date estimates may appear on the shipping quotes page. Your order can take anywhere from 2-5 days to ship from our warehouse. Shipping times vary upon location and shipping provider.

Please also note that when you receive a shipping notice from us with a DHL/UPS/USPS/Fed Ex tracking number that it could take several days for these companies to update their tracking information. In the case of USPS, at times their system only shows that an item has been received and the next update is after the item has been delivered.

Airmail delivery times can vary by destination. Please allow 3-8 weeks for your goods to arrive. We are not held responsible for lost airmail shipments. We encourage all customers to use EMS/UPS/DHL as their shipping option.

Damages, Lost, Misplaced or Delayed Shipment

RC4WD is not liable for any products damaged, lost, or delayed during shipping. If you received your order damaged, please contact the shipment carrier to file a claim.

Please save all packaging materials and damaged goods before filing a claim.

Additionally, we ship from multiple warehouses so your order may arrive in several shipments depending on available stock. For more information, visit our blog.

 

International Shipping Policy

We can ship to virtually any address in the world! Note that there are restrictions on some products, so they cannot be shipped to international destinations. Limited/Restricted Payment Options may be required for some countries. If you see an issue, please send us an e-mail and we will be glad to talk with you about these details.

Shipment Processing Time

All orders are processed within 2-5 business days. Orders are not shipped on weekends or holidays.

If we are experiencing a high volume of orders, shipments may be delayed by a few days. Please allow additional days in transit for delivery. If there will be a significant delay in shipment of your order, we will contact you via email or telephone.

Customs, Duties and Taxes

RC4WD is not responsible for any customs and taxes applied to your order. All fees imposed during or after shipping are the responsibility of the customer (tariffs, taxes, etc.)

As an international customer, please do your research to ensure there are no surprise charges when clearing your package through customs, and to have an idea of what the additional cost may be. If you are unfamiliar with customs fees and charges, please speak to your local postal or customs office for more information. It is your full responsibility to verify the customs, duties charges, and procedures in your country prior to placing your order.
