Warranty and Return Guidelines

At The Joy Box, we offer a 30-day return policy from the delivery date on all eligible products (except gift cards and custom items).

If you experience any issues with your purchase within 30 days, please contact our support team for assistance with a return, replacement, or refund.

Upon Arrival

• Inspect Your Package: Check your delivery immediately to confirm you received the correct items. While we conduct thorough checks, occasional errors can occur. Verify that all components are included, as some parts may be tucked inside the packaging materials.
• Retain Packaging: Keep all original packaging, including boxes, manuals, and inserts, until you're fully satisfied with your purchase.
• Inspect Without Damage: Carefully examine products without causing damage to the packaging or item.
• Enjoy Your Purchase: Once confirmed, enjoy your new product with confidence!

Warranty and Return Guidelines

Warranty Period
We offer a 30-day return policy from the delivery date for your peace of mind. Please note the following:

• Hobby-Grade Products: These require careful handling. Damage caused by crashes, misuse, or neglect is not covered under warranty.
• Waterproof Items: Unless explicitly stated, electric items are not waterproof. Using non-waterproof items (e.g., RC cars) in water voids the warranty. Spare parts may be available for purchase, and we’re happy to assist with part selection and repairs.
• Packaging Damage: Warranty does not cover damages to packaging or retail boxes. Such damages are common during transit and do not affect product use.

 

Returns and Exchanges

• Non-Returnable Items: Custom products, gift cards, and hazardous materials are not eligible for returns.
• Exchanges: For an exchange, return the item as instructed and place a new order for the replacement product.

Battery Maintenance Guide (If applicable)

• Charge the battery fully before first use, after any use, before storage or use after storage.
• Disconnect the battery from product when not in use. Leaving the battery connected to the product when not in use, can cause damage to the battery due to gradual discharging.
• Do not run RC products supplied with LiPo or Li-Ion batteries until the battery power becomes very low or fully discharged.  This will cause permanent damage to the battery.
• Allow for battery to cool down prior to charging again.  This will help long battery life.
