SECTION 6 - RETURN POLICY

How to return an order: https://paintballnerd.com/pages/refund-exchange-policy

Paintball Nerd does not offer refunds on retail purchases. If an item is brand new, never used and has all of its original packaging, it can be exchanged for store credit but we are unable to issue refund. Returns or exchanges must be made within 30 days from the date of delivery. If more than 30 days have passed your order will not be eligible for a return or exchange. Certain items like paintballs and refurbished equipment cannot be returned or exchanged and all sales are final. The buyer will be responsible for any return shipping charges.

If the product is defective, it will be repaired based on the manufacturer's warranty. All paintball equipment comes with a manufacturer warranty so we must follow the manufacturer's warranty process for repair. 

PaintballNerd.com has great working relationships and expedited procedures with all of our vendors in the rare instance that an item from your order has a problem. To resolve your problem in the timeliest fashion, we ask you contact the manufacturer direct for assistance. We have provided a list of technical support numbers for the majority of paintball gun and gear manufacturers.

SECTION 7 - SHIPPING POLICY

Typically most orders will ship the same day as long as they are placed before 1:00 PM CST Monday - Friday (excluding holidays). Orders placed after the daily shipping cutoff, on holidays or orders placed on Saturday or Sunday will ship the next business day (business days are Monday - Friday excluding holidays). If an item is marked as a Pre-Order it will ship as soon as it becomes available.

We offer free ground shipping within the contiguous United States on orders above $20, unless specified otherwise it item description. Express shipping options are also available for an additional fee. Paintball Nerd does everything in our power to have your items delivered as quickly as possible but we cannot be held responsible for delays caused by shipping companies once the package leaves our building.

We offer free same-day delivery to customers in Columbia, Tennessee (zip code 38401) for orders placed before 1:00pm CST Monday - Friday (except holidays), unless specified otherwise it item description.

Please keep in mind that when paying for upgraded shipping delivery times are quoted in business days (Monday-Friday) from the date the package ships (not the date it was ordered). Orders placed after the daily cutoff time, on holidays or weekends will be shipped the next business day and the quoted transit time will not start until the package is actually shipped. Additionally, transit times quoted during the checkout process are merely an estimate and are not a guarantee of service. We do not offer refunds on upgraded shipping fees due to delays caused by the carriers or the customer not calculating the transit time correctly.

International shipping is available anywhere in the world and shipping fees will be calculated with our real time rate calculator. International customers are responsible for paying any taxes, duties or import fees that may arise from their order. We will not allow a customer to return an item because they do not want to pay these fees. Due to laws in some countries and certain manufacturer rules, some products may not be able to be shipped to certain countries.

If a package is lost, stolen or damaged during transit the customer must report the issue to us so we can file an investigation/claim with the shipping company. Until we receive the results of the investigation we will not be able to send out a replacement product or a refund if necessary until we have a definitive answer from the shipping company on the status of the shipment in question. We understand this can be frustrating but we will work as quickly as possible to resolve the matter!

SECTION 8 - Pre-Order Policy

What is a pre-order?

When you place a pre-order you are reserving your spot in line for a new product that is set to hit the market soon. If an item is marked as pre-order it is not ready to ship yet so only order if you are able to wait for its arrival. At the top of each item page we will have the estimated time of arrival for that product. 

Why should I pre-order instead of just waiting for the item to come in stock?

Typically most paintball manufacturers have limited quantities available when they begin to release a new product on the market and additional restocks tend to take some time. Demand almost always exceeds the supply so by pre-ordering you are reserving your spot in line to get the newest product as quickly as possible. We fulfill all of our pre-orders first before we sell any unspoken for items in store or online so if you want to get a new item as quickly as possible you’ll want to pre-order. 

How accurate are pre-order arrival dates?

In most cases pre-order dates are very accurate but it is possible items may take longer to arrive then expected. We work closely with the manufacturers to provide the most up to date information as possible but due to unforeseen circumstances such as manufacturing issues, shipping delays and major world events we can never fully guarantee the projected arrival date. 

How do you begin fulfilling pre-orders?

Ideally pre-orders are filled exactly in the order that they were received. Certain products with different variations such as color, size, model, etc may arrive at different times based on the manufacturers production schedule so it is possible we may have to deviate. The order in which a manufacture releases different variants are beyond our control. We will always try to fulfill orders based on the date received though. 

Can I change my pre-order for a different color, size, model, etc?

You are permitted to change your order if needed but you will lose your current spot in line. The updated order will be viewed as a brand new order and your spot in line will be based on the date you changed your order. Manufacturer production is based heavily on the pre-orders they receive so by changing your order you are throwing off the production schedule and quantities. 

Can I cancel my pre-order?

You can cancel your pre-order but you will be subject to a 10% cancellation fee based on the price of the product(s) you pre-ordered. Any pre-paid shipping fees will be refunded in full. 

Modification & Interpretation

Paintball Nerd reserves the right to modify or change these policies at any time if deemed necessary. We will also be solely responsible for the interpretation of any and all policies.

SECTION 9 - ACCURACY OF BILLING AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION

We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e‑mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made. We reserve the right to limit or prohibit orders that, in our sole judgment, appear to be placed by dealers, resellers or distributors.

You agree to provide current, complete and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
