Display boxes cracked during shipping are not subject to refund or replacement. We check all display boxes before we
ship them to be sure they are in good condition. However, they often arrive from the manufacturer with rub marks or
signs of wear from shipping. None of the shipping carriers consider display boxes to have a value, only that they are
to protect the merchandise. They will not reimburse us for cracked cases.
Slot cars are mass-produced, and are sold for the purpose of racing (unless the car comes in a collector box).
We cannot guarantee that the paint job on your car will be perfect, and cannot take back cars as defective due to
imperfections in paint jobs, or other minor flaws.
Cars that arrive in Collector boxes are personally inspected before we ship them, as we know the condition of the box
itself is very important. Again, these cars are mass produced, (except for the very highest priced cars), and the best
we or any dealer can do in such a situation is to sell you the best ones available within the limitations of the
manufacturer's quality control. (We do refuse car boxes that are split or damaged and send them back to our distributors.)
