Terms of Service and Refund Policy

Chibi Chop Shop Policies & Terms of Service

Resellers

In an effort to ensure that products are more readily available for customer purchase and in an effort to prevent inflation of product pricing on other selling platforms, Chibi Chop Shop has a strict no reseller policy. We do review purchase histories for patterns that are indicative of reseller purchasing and accounts found to be appearing to be making such purchases will have their accounts flagged and their purchases may be limited, which includes reduction of quantities, removal of items or cancellation of orders with appropriate refunds issued. Any account this applies to will be reached out to directly. If you would like to arrange a reseller relationship and purchase discounted boxed items in quantities of 12 or more (case size), please reach out to us and we can discuss it.

Product Ordering Limits

Certain items will have a quantity limit per order which will be indicated when a customer prepares to check out. These limits will also be enforced across subsequent orders and making multiple orders for the same product to avoid the limitation will result in the cancellation of the subsequent orders.

These limitations are in place to avoid resellers buying out our stock and legitimate customers from missing out on items because of it. If you would need to purchase more than the limit of specific items, you can contact us by E-mail and if your ordering history does not have any indicators that you are purchasing inventory to resell, then we may approve you to purchase additional items. These limitations apply to any individual bulk restocking of the item, so if additional multi-quantities of stock becomes available in the future, you will be able to make a single purchase of the item again. Individual restocks of items (i.e. one item at a time) may at our discretion, not be honored if your purchasing history indicates repeat purchase of the same item in the recent past.

Returns

We accept returns up to 30 days from item delivery.  If you are ever unhappy with an item purchased from the Chibi Chop Shop please let us know as soon as possible so we can best assist you.  Please be aware that in order to be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it.  Items listed as "Poor" condition are sold "AS-IS" and are not eligible for return.  To begin the return process contact us at customerservice@chibichopshop.com. Unless otherwise approved by us, the customer is responsible for any return postage charges for returns.

Refunds (if applicable)

Any pending order cancellation which has not been pulled or shipped will receive a full refund including shipping.

Hold Order cancellations will not be honored if the items have already been pulled for your cache. You are more than welcome to return any unwanted items once the orders arrive but we will not edit orders once they have been pulled for your hold order.

Any returns, unless previously agreed to, are subject to a 10% restocking fee.

Sorry, but the Chibi Chop Shop does not refund shipping charges.  You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item and any refund issued will be for the original purchase price of the item(s) only. The original shipping charges are non-refundable. If you are returning an item(s) please ship to us with tracking in as close to the original Chibi Chop Shop packaging as possible.  We are not responsible for misdirected or lost returns or goods damaged in the returns process due to inappropriate packing methods.

There is also a 60 day limit on issuing a refund (from date of original purchase). Any returns made after 60 days will receive a store credit code to apply at checkout during a future order. This is due to limitations by the credit card processor which does not allow direct refunds after 60 days.

Exchanges

Changes to orders can be done by contacting us directly as soon as possible after placing an order. Once an order has been pulled or packed for shipment, we reserve the right to refuse altering the order, so contact us ASAP after placing the order you wish to make changes to. Any exchanges that cause a difference in price will result in an invoice or refund for the difference. Any additional charges must be paid within 3 days.

Rain Checks/Retroactive promos

We are not able to offer rain checks on promotions to use them at a later date and likewise we are not able to apply promotional discounts to orders which were placed prior to the promotion's start.

Canceled Orders

We are happy to go ahead and issue a refund on pending orders at your request as a courtesy. We do reserve the right to apply our 10% restocking fee at our discretion if repeated requests for order cancellation are made by the same customer within a short period of time. We do ask that you please be certain before placing orders as we are charged processing fees both for the transaction AND for the return; fees which are not returned to us when an order is cancelled. 

Late or missing refunds

There is often a significant processing time before a refund is posted.  If you are expecting a refund and have not received it after 10 business days please contact us at customerservice@chibichopshop.com.


Chibi Cache Hold Order Service

Customers who are members of our Hold Order Membership Program have the option to select "Hold Order" as their ship option at checkout. All items purchased in this manner will not have shipping fees charged initially, and all orders will be held in a cache under that customer's name until such time they wish to combine their orders and have them shipped.

Customers can close and request shipping on caches using the account page hold order management (see the Chibi Cache Program page for full details)

All ship requests will receive a discount off shipping of up to $5 for every $50 of total combined value from all their held orders being shipped.

Customers who cancel their Hold Order Membership have 30 days to submit a ship request or reinstate their monthly membership to maintain their Hold Order Cache. If a Cache goes more than 6 months without a membership, it will be canceled and treated as abandoned with no refund issued. A store credit (less the 10% restocking fee) can be requested.

Hold Order Members must be logged into their account before adding items to cart in order for the system to properly identify them and offer the Hold Order option during check out. If you are having difficulties clear your browser cache and cookies and try again.

Order Shipping and Handling time

We strive to get orders processed as quickly as we can. Typically we have a 2-3 day handling period IN ADDITION to the normal shipping time. So if a package is sent priority mail with 2 day delivery expected, plan on 4-5 days until you have your package. Sometimes on particularly busy weeks or when we are processing a new inventory order it may add an extra day in addition. We apologize for any delays and appreciate your patience.

Combined Shipments

We do not combine standard ship orders due to the logistics of how orders are fulfilled and limitations of our e-commerce platform. We suggest that customers utilize the hold order program to combine orders into a single shipment which also combines their values for shipping discounts. If you have a cache and make a normal shipped order, we can convert that shipped order into a hold order and refund the shipping so that you can later submit a cache ship request to have all items sent together.

Returned Packages (incorrect address)

If an order has been returned as undeliverable due to a bad address inputted by the customer, we will reach out and request that you update your address in the system and then will send an invoice via email for the cost of shipping. USPS does not credit shipping charges if a package is undeliverable. Alternately we can cancel and refund the order (less the shipping already paid), which will be subject to a 10% restocking fee.

Lost or Stolen Packages

If a package goes missing and has been shown to have been delivered, the customer should reach out to the Postal Service to have them trace the package. Chibi Chop Shop cannot replace or refund lost or stolen items that show as delivered.

If a package shows as delivered, please make sure to wait for a day or two after the tracking shows it was delivered as often times the postal carriers will pre-scan packages ahead of delivery or will wait until the following day to deliver if they are running behind.

All packages are insured for up to $100. Increasing to priority mail covers loss and left for up to $200. If your order value is over $200, please purchase our optional $3 insurance coverage which will cover any amount over $200.

Chibi Chop Shop is not responsible for packages lost by the postal service or which have been stolen after delivery if not covered by insurance.

As of Feb 2023 all international packages have an automatic $2 surcharge and have insurance added by default. This fee will cover any value of order and ensures that lost and stolen packages are covered.
