Return & Exchange Policy
Scope of Policy
This policy applies to all transactions made through the Robot Bodykits website or via direct invoice, unless specific product terms state otherwise.
General Returns
Customers may cancel orders and potentially receive a refund (minus a 5% transaction fee) if the cancellation is made within three business days of placing the order. This refund does not include any shipping costs, even if they are integrated into the product's price.
Due to the nature of our custom-made products, returns are generally not possible once an order has been shipped. However, we understand that issues may arise.
-
Faulty or Ill-Fitting Products: If you receive a product that is faulty or does not fit as expected, please contact us immediately. We will work with you to find a resolution, which may include:
- A partial refund to cover the costs of professional repair or modification to make the product fit correctly.
- Remaking the product, with the customer responsible for covering return shipping costs. In this case, the customer can keep the original product.
-
Other Circumstances: In limited situations, we may consider a return request for a non-faulty product. To be eligible, the product must be returned to the manufacturer's address in its original condition. Please note that only the product's purchase price will be refunded, excluding any shipping charges incurred. Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs.
Bespoke Robot Orders
Our robot kits are custom-made. Cancellation fees apply depending on the production stage:
- Pre-production cancellation: 5% non-refundable transaction fee.
- Post-production cancellation or cancellation after deposit: 50% refund due to the customization involved. If the kit was acquired with special pricing or sponsorship, the refund amount may differ.
- Deposits for custom orders are non-refundable if canceled post-production or post-deposit.
Product Features & Installation
- Professional Installation: Our products are designed for professional installation. Attempted DIY installation may void the warranty and lead to undesirable results.
- FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) Parts: Resin traits like sanding lines or filler marks are inherent to the material and are not considered product defects. Professional body shops can easily address these. Refunds will not be processed based on these characteristics.
- Improper Installation: Improper or DIY installations are not covered by our warranty. Any damages or issues arising from non-professional installations are the customer's responsibility.
OnAir Products
For cancellations, notify us within three business days. After dispatch, refunds are only possible upon returning the product to our warehouse. Return shipping fees are borne by the customer.
Product Damage
- Report Upon Delivery: If you observe any damages upon delivery, report them to the driver immediately and take photographs as evidence. Our kits are insured, but we require this evidence for a smooth insurance claim process.
- Partial Refunds for Repairs: Some components, such as FRP parts, might be repairable by professional body shops. We may offer partial refunds to cover these repairs.
- Support During Remediation: We understand the inconvenience caused by damaged products and will support you throughout the insurance or repair process.
International Orders
- Delivery Delays: International deliveries might face delays due to customs. Customers are responsible for all local customs charges.
- Change of Mind & Returns: We do not accept returns or refunds based on a change of mind after delivery if the product meets the agreed-upon conditions.
Order Verification and Payment
- Order Verification: We conduct thorough checks on each kit part before dispatch for quality assurance. Each part is photographed to document its condition before shipment.
- Payments via PayPal: We urge customers using PayPal to be familiar with the platform's policies and avoid misusing them. Misusing PayPal's protection policies or making false claims can result in legal consequences.
Post-Dispatch and Customs Handling
- Limited Control After Dispatch: Once a kit is dispatched, our control over its movement is limited to tracking. We cannot recall or reroute the product during transit. International deliveries may face extended delays due to customs processing.
- Chargebacks: We strive to resolve customer concerns directly. Initiating a chargeback without first attempting resolution with us is considered a breach of agreement. We maintain detailed records for contesting unjustified chargebacks.
Shipping and Handling
- All shipping costs are non-refundable, regardless of whether they are integrated into the product price or itemized separately.
- Customers are responsible for any return shipping charges, even in cases where a refund is issued.
- International customers are responsible for all local customs and port charges.
Cancellation Fees
- In-stock Items: 20% restocking

Understanding Material Characteristics (Extended)
1. FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer):
-
Characteristics: FRP parts are made from a combination of fibers (like glass) and a polymer matrix (usually a resin). This composition can exhibit certain traits intrinsic to the nature of the materials.
-
Fitment: It’s not uncommon for FRP parts to require adjustments for perfect alignment. The parts might come with sanding lines or filler marks; however, these are not product defects but rather characteristics of the resin and the production process.
-
Finishing: A professional body shop can easily address and rectify the mentioned traits, ensuring the part looks and fits as intended.
2. Wet Carbon (or Wet Lay Carbon Fiber):
-
Characteristics: Wet carbon is made by laying down carbon fibre and then impregnating it with resin. It gives a beautiful, deep weave pattern that’s aesthetically pleasing. However, the nature of the process can sometimes result in small pinholes or slight variations in weave patterns. Again, these aren’t defects but characteristics inherent to the wet lay process.
-
Finish: Wet carbon parts often come with a glossy finish, but might benefit from an additional coat of clear lacquer to enhance the depth and protect the weave.
-
Care: While it might be tempting to apply Paint Protection Film (PPF) to preserve the beauty of the weave, it’s advised to wait before applying PPF. Immediate application can lead to issues like peeling off the lacquer.
3. Dry Carbon (or Pre-preg Carbon Fiber):
-
Characteristics: Dry carbon is the pinnacle of carbon fiber technology, offering superior strength, lightness, and a premium finish. The material is pre-impregnated with resin, ensuring consistent distribution and quality.
-
Finish: Products made from dry carbon exhibit an OEM-like finish, ensuring the part seamlessly integrates with the vehicle’s design.
-
Quality: The meticulous manufacturing process and superior raw materials ensure that dry carbon products often have the most precise fitment and highest durability among carbon fiber parts.
Polypropylene (PP) Kits:
1. Material and Quality:
-
Characteristics: Polypropylene is a type of thermoplastic polymer, which is widely utilized in automotive applications, including bumper covers and other external components. Given its properties, PP is often used in the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) industry, ensuring that parts made from this material usually have a precision fit.
-
Fitment: Kits made from PP are designed to fit right out of the box, making them an excellent choice for customers looking for minimal fuss during the installation process. The plastic nature of these kits allows them to closely mirror OEM specifications, ensuring a snug and precise fit.
2. Cost and Installation:
-
Price Benefits: While the initial moulds for PP kits can be expensive to produce, the repeated use of these moulds often means that the per-unit cost for the parts is lower. This cost advantage is passed on to the customer, making PP kits generally more affordable.
-
Installation and Paint: Due to the nature of the material, PP kits are typically easier and cheaper to paint than FRP kits. Their smooth surface requires less preparation, and they are less prone to reactions or complications during the painting process. The installation process is also generally more straightforward, reducing labor costs.
3. Availability:
- Limited Styles: The initial cost of creating moulds for PP kits can be high. This means that while the material itself is of high quality and offers excellent fitment, it might not be feasible to produce a wide variety of styles or custom designs in PP. Customers might find that PP kits are available in a limited range of styles compared to FRP or carbon fiber options.
