Return Policy

FMS is devoted to providing trusted service for our customers. If you have any dissatisfaction with our products, we will do our best to help you.

We offer a 30-day return policy, the new and unused products purchased directly from www.fmshobby.com can be returned for Refund or Credit, under the guidelines and exclusions below.

If you ordered the wrong item or no longer need it, please contact customer service as soon as possible to request a cancellation before the order ships. Please note that cancellations are not guaranteed once an order is placed—orders may be processed and handed off to the warehouse quickly, and it’s possible for an order to ship even if you haven’t received a tracking number yet.

If your order has already shipped, we accept returns within 30 days of delivery, provided the item meets ALL of the following conditions:
*The item is new, unassembled, unused, and in its original packaging with all parts, accessories, and materials included.
*Before returning, please provide a photo or video of the product's outer packaging and obtain return authorization.

Refund Deductions (Restocking + Non-Refundable Fees)
Except for incorrectly shipped items, customers are responsible for applicable restocking fees and Worry-Free Delivery® fees (if purchased).


Non-refundable fees
Original shipping fees are non-refundable
●If Worry-Free Delivery® was purchased, the Worry-Free Delivery® fee is non-refundable once the order has shipped
○Worry-Free Delivery® is an optional shipping protection service that applies during transit (for example: loss, damage, or theft claims).
○Because the coverage becomes active once the order ships, the fee cannot be refunded after shipment—even if the item is later returned.


Restocking fees (includes return shipping and return processing)
The restocking fee covers all costs associated with the return, including the prepaid return shipping label and return processing/handling.


Restocking fee policy
Oversized parts (e.g., fuselages, main wings, stands, floats, large-scale car bodies, etc.): 15% restocking fee
Orders over $99: 15% restocking fee
Orders under $99: $6.99 restocking fee
Examples
1.Oversized parts example
Order Total $60.98 = Oversized Parts $53.99 + Shipping Fee $6.99
Refund for Oversized Parts = Order Total − Shipping Fee − Restocking Fee
= $60.98 − $6.99 − ($53.99 × 15%) = $45.90
2.Order over $99 example
Order Total $199.99 RC Product
Refund for RC Product = Order Total − Restocking Fee
= $199.99 − ($199.99 × 15%) = $167.00
3.Order under $99 example
Order Total $56.98 = Small Parts $49.99 + Shipping Fee $6.99
Refund for Small Parts = Order Total − Shipping Fee − Restocking Fee
= $56.98 − $6.99 − $6.99 = $43.00

Return Shipping Responsibility
●For eligible returns, FMS provides a prepaid return shipping label
●If your return is the result of a shipping error (we shipped you the wrong product), FMS will pay the return shipping costs and no restocking fees will apply

Return Condition Requirements (Important)
Returned merchandise must be new and unused and in its original packaging, complete with all parts, accessories, and materials. We are unable to process returns if:

We recommend taking photos of the item’s condition and packaging before shipping your return in case damage occurs during transit.

Every order processed by FMS's warehouse is video recorded and precisely weighed to ensure order accuracy. If you have thoroughly checked your shipping boxes, retail boxes, and packing material and still cannot find your item, please contact us using the form below, and we will be glad to help you locate your items or ship you the missing parts if necessary.

If purchasing from a site other than www.fmshobby.com, please refer to that site for applicable policies and contact information. Products purchased from a local hobby shop, online retailer, or a third party must be returned to the original place of purchase under the approval of the seller.
