Command Elite Hobbies โ€“ Pre-Order Policy

Definition of Pre-Order

Aย Pre-Orderย is an item that has not yet arrived in our warehouse or is still in production. By placing a pre-order, you are securing your item in advance.

Please note:

  • Supply quantities are strictly controlled by the manufacturer/supplier.
  • Quantities and allocations may change at any time without notice.
  • In the event your pre-order cannot be fulfilled (in part or in full), you will receive aย full refundย for the unavailable portion.

Deposits & Payment Terms

  • Pre-Orders must be paid in full at the time of purchase unless otherwise stated.
  • Deposits, whether partial or full, areย non-refundable and non-transferable.
  • Refunds will not be issued for:

    Change of mind

    Customer error during purchase

    Delays outside of our control (e.g., manufacturer delays, shipping delays, customs holds).

  • A full refund will only be issued if the item becomes unavailable or is cancelled by the manufacturer or Command Elite Hobbies.

Cancellation Policy & Fees

  • All pre-orders are final. Cancellations are only permitted at our discretion.
  • If we approve a cancellation due to change of mind, up to 100% of the total order valueย may be withheld as a cancellation fee.
  • No cancellation fees apply if the cancellation is initiated by Command Elite Hobbies (e.g., supplier cancels the order).
  • 3-Day Grace Period: Customers may cancel their pre-order within 3 days of purchase for a full refund, provided the item has not already shipped or been processed for dispatch. Refunds will be processed within 2โ€“5 business days.

Release Dates & Delays

  • All release dates provided areย estimates onlyย and subject to change.
  • Dates are set by suppliers/manufacturers and are beyond our control.
  • Our warehouse release date may differ from the manufacturerโ€™s advertised date due to shipping and customs clearance.
  • By placing a pre-order, you accept that delays may occur and do not constitute grounds for cancellation or refund (outside the 3-day grace period).

Price Changes

  • If the retail price increases upon arrival, your pre-order isย price-protected. You will not be charged more.

  • Customers who did not pre-order will be subject to the updated retail price.
  • If the retail price decreases upon arrival, pre-order customers are not entitled to partial refunds.
