a. You can request for cancellation if - the order has not been packed or fulfilled yet & with a valid reason. This still depends from case to case as there are time-zone differences between you sending us the message and us reading the message hours later.

b. No cancellation if,

i. the item is already been packed and fulfilled, as we are not able to pull it back once the parcel is with the shipper. and without a valid reason  

ii. customer refuses accepting the parcel upon delivery

iii. buyer remorse

- You may reject the parcel as it's being delivered to you, once we have the SOLID confirmation that the parcel is being returned to us in China, then we will be able to refund to you. This is a very unlikely scenario due to high shipping cost back to China as well as duties that will be borne by the buyer. The chances of losing the parcel is very high as well due to different address language. Best to post this for sale on our FB group.

"Some says, that WPL shipping box is made to survive WW3, all we know is..." - Someone says

"The first thing I want to focus on is what you get when you buy from WPL-RC.com. The quality of the shipping itself. This is a 3 ply heavy duty cardboard that is double wrapped. On the inside everything has its own packages. Wrapped tightly in bubble wrap. Every sensitive piece I received was in perfect working condition. I even stood on top of the box to see and it held my weight!" - Adam Peebles

11. Parcel theft
With the rampant parcel theft happening in the US, we are not responsible for orders that have tracking showing "Delivered" and subsequently stolen by a thief.
* Please keep an eye on your tracking and look out for your door during delivery day.
* Watch news report video here

If you are keen to order, here's how,

1. Check if you have friends/relatives/colleagues on the mainland of US as we can ship to them reliably. Typically 2 weeks delivery

2. Place your order and input your friends/relatives/colleague's mainland US address

3. We will ship to the mainland address provided and you have your friends/relatives/colleagues forward it to you *at your own cost. This is the best way. 

 

14. Parcel delay/no tracking update for too long

- Our delivery takes about 2 weeks to be delivered on average. If you have not received your parcel for close to 30 days since you placed the order, please contact us immediately! We will not be responsible for your parcel delivery issue if you reach out to us after 50 days of the order being placed.
