This policy has a fee. Please refer to the section of this policy which covers the fees.
Refund, return or exchange request policy governs all products that have been purchased through our distributor and orders which have been prepped and ready to go for shipping. We will send an email stating when these milestones have been reached.
Should you wish to cancel an order that is not covered by this policy, please refer to our Purchase Options and Cancellations policy.
You have 30 days to request a refund and return or exchange which means you have 30 days from the date the carrier has reported delivery of your item to request a refund, return or exchange.

Please input “Refund Request” in the email subject line. In the body of the email, please include your first and last name, the order number, date of purchase, reason for requesting a refund, the specific product(s) and quantities you are requesting to return and the condition of the product(s). If the products in your order were damaged in transit we ask that you take digital pictures that clearly show the damage and send these pictures along with your email request.
Within 48 hours of receiving your emailed refund request, you will be contacted by MPM Hobbies via email and either asked follow up questions or be sent our decision on the products we will approve for return and/or refund and whether we will send you a return shipping label or hold you responsible for return shipment.
DO NOT return any item(s) before obtaining an emailed return/refund approval from MPM Hobbies and the decision on who is responsible for shipping. We will refuse shipment from the carrier. Any and all item(s) returned by you without MPM Hobbies emailed approval/authorization to return. Additionally, you will be denied a full refund.
If you REFUSE SHIPMENT from the carrier simply to return your order without obtaining emailed approval from MPM Hobbies and our decision on who is responsible for shipping, we will keep the products and not issue you a refund.
MPM Hobbies MUST receive the products you are returning before we initiate the refund, if a refund is due to you, in accordance with this policy. Will we process the refund, if you are due one, within 48 hours of receiving the return from the carrier. There are no exceptions to this rule.

C. Items where the shrink wrap, i.e. clear plastic covering, has been removed. We do make exceptions to this on a case-by-case basis. Our decision in regard to your shrink wrap removal and whether we will grant a return and/or refund must be sent to you from MPM Hobbies via email. We may ask that you contact the manufacturer for a replacement part(s). Usually, the manufacturer does this free of charge to you.

B. If you do not package the item(s) properly, according to our judgement, and the products are damaged in transit. An example, if you are returning a heavy item using improper tape or coverage and because of your lack of reasonable material and effort the product(s) are damaged.
