Domestic Mail Services:

USPS Ground Advantage: The cheapest and slowest shipping option available for packages under 1lb. This service can take anywhere from 3-10+ business days to arrive. Delivery times are not guaranteed.

Priority Mail: This option is required for packages over 1lb. It is slightly faster with an average shipping time of 2-4 business days. Delivery times are not guaranteed.

Cancel/edit orders: 

Orders cannot be edited or cancelled once placed. Please keep this in mind when placing an order as it is crucial you place your order with everything correctly:

Due to changes with the payment portal policies, credit card and PayPal fees are not being refunded for cancelled orders. It doesn't matter if the order is cancelled immediately after ordering or not. This is completely out of our control and we certainly do not agree with this policy. As a result however, you will be charged for this fee (about 3% of the total order value but may be more depending on the type of card used) if you decide to cancel your order so please be be sure your order is correct before completing the checkout process. If you would still like to cancel your order, orders may be eligible for cancellation but there is no guarantee. Please contact us via email at support@retrogamerepairshop.com or by using the form on our website to see if your order can be cancelled. 

Orders that have been begun the fulfillment process will not be eligible for cancellation. 

Missed Deliveries:

It is your responsibility to make arrangements to receive your package. Generally, if you miss your package’s arrival, the courier will bring it to a nearby post office and leave you with a delivery notice card. Please familiarize yourself with your postal service’s rules and regulations.

If you fail to pick up your package within the allotted window, you have two options:

1. You can pay for shipping again and we’ll send it back to you.
2. We can refund your order with the exception of shipping costs and any additional taxes, duties, customs or miscellaneous transportation fees. If it’s been over 30 days, we will also charge up to a 15% restocking fee.

Please note that, once a delivery attempt has been made and the package has been deposited at your local postal service, the order is complete on our end. After this point, we can no longer track the package. If your local postal service ships it back to us, we cannot give you an estimated date of arrival since we no longer have eyes on it.

If you would like us to refund you for the products contained in the order that has been shipped back to us or if you would like us to resend the product once it arrives and you have paid for shipping, you are responsible for speaking to the appropriate individuals (your local postal service, USPS, customs, etc.) to track down the package and ensure it arrives safely at our facility.
