How It Works

The instructions below are designed to expedite the return of your model. Each of the steps below must be followed in order for us to provide you with a satisfactory experience.

Gifts

We are so glad you are giving one of our items as a gift to a friend or loved one. It is your responsibility as the purchaser to inspect the item upon receipt of the item and notify us of any damage or issues per our policy below...NO EXCEPTIONS.

Holiday Gifts ---- For orders placed from November 20th - December 23rd

The damage policy below still applies however you are able to return the item if you notify us by January 2nd of the new year.

Return of a damaged item during shipping (to lower 48 United States).

1. Contact us immediately (within 5 days of delivery). Contacting us after this period voids any claim.
   
   
2. Email us pictures of the damage in question to help@hamptonnautical.com within 7 days of contacting us about this claim. These are required by the shipping company to file a damage claim
   
   THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY.
   
   
3. Once we receive the pictures, our builders will review the damage. If not repairable you will be asked to destroy the item and provide proof with pictures.
   
   
4. If we deem the item is repairable (such as a cannon came loose during shipping) we will provide parts and instructions for the repair.
   
   
5. If we deem the item is not "easily repairable", but can be repaired by us, a replacement will be sent to you at no cost.
   
   
6. Place the item securely in the original package, exactly as how it was packaged. Include all paperwork, parts and accessories that were included with the model.
   
   
7. We will then ship to you another model at no additional cost.

Return of a damaged item during shipping (outside of lower 48 United States).

Same policy applies as above, but due to customs, duties, and other regulations regarding shipping to foreign countries, we may ask you to destroy the model even if it is "repairable". A new item will be sent to you at no additional costs. Duties, taxes, and any additional fees are non-refundable. You will need to contact the shipping company for reimbursement.

Return of an item without a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) Number

Sending the item back to us without prior authorization voids your eligibility for a full refund as this voids the damage claim eligibility with the shipping company. A 50% restocking fee is assessed for all orders that are returned without a valid RMA number. In addition, all items that are returned 45 days after receipt a 50% restocking fee will apply. The fee will be deducted from the total refund amount. In the event that a return is needed, we will make arrangements for the return. Do not send it back via any other means.
