Returns,
Refunds, Re-Stocking Fees
RETURNS:
Return Authorization Number required for all returns.
Please call
or e-mail us for a RA# before shipping.
All returns must be properly packaged, and have a
valid RA# prominently written on outside of the box.
No returns on any product after 30 days! See
our Order Information section on Returns,
Refunds, Re-Stocking Fees to review specific conditions
and terms. For some returns, a 25% re-stocking fee will
be charged (on value of items before any discounts), and
this section specifies when such a fee will be applied.
TELEPHONE
AND FAX ORDERS: Processing of orders placed on-line begins
within 1 business day of receipt. There is usually a delay
of 2-3 business days before orders phoned or faxed in are
begun to be processed. This is because, as computers have
taken over many staff functions, a staff person must replace
your order on-line before it can be processed.
ORDER
TURNAROUND TIME: When an order is received, we try to fill
it completely with items in stock. If everything is in stock,
the order will ship that day or the next day. If items are
not in stock, we try to get the items from the distributor,
and ship the order as complete as possible. This results
in a shipping delay of 3-5 days, before the order is shipped.
Even if you indicate that you want 2-Day or Overnight shipping,
there may be a delay of 3-5 days before the order is shipped,
unless you have emailed us ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS directing
us otherwise.
IF
AN ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK: Land of Odds does not backorder
items. We ship all items that are in stock, and out-of-stock
(O/S) those items which are not currently available from
us, or from our distributors. If you are ordering SEVERAL
ITEMS WHICH YOU MUST HAVE "ALL OR NONE", then
please email or notify us of this fact when you place your
order. Normally, we ship what is available, and out-of-stock
the rest.

information about shipping and delivery, wholesale, international
orders, returns, refunds, and re-stocking fees, please visit
