Shipping & Returns Information
Shipping is typically handled directly by the individual vendors on our platform. Each product page will provide specific shipping details, including costs, estimated delivery times, and the regions they ship to.
Shipping costs vary depending on the vendor, the size and weight of the robot, and your delivery location. These costs will be clearly displayed during the checkout process before you finalise your purchase.

However, the cost allocation differs based on your reason for return:
If the item has a defect, is the wrong product, or doesn’t match the listing description: The vendor pays for return shipping, and you receive a full refund.
If you change your mind about the purchase (buyer’s remorse): You typically pay for return shipping unless the listing explicitly states otherwise.
Important eligibility requirements: The item must be new, unused, in original packaging with all accessories and manuals, and free from customer-caused damage. Items expressly marked “non-returnable” or custom robots programmed to your specifications cannot be returned.
