Shipping policy

R44 Performance ("we" and "us") is the operator of (https://www.r44performance.com) ("Website"). By placing an order through this Website you will be agreeing to the terms below. These are provided to ensure both parties are aware of and agree upon this arrangement to mutually protect and set expectations on our service.

General

Subject to stock availability. We try to maintain accurate stock counts on our website but from time to time there may be a stock discrepancy and we will not be able to fulfil all your items at the time of purchase. In this instance, we will contact you about whether you would like to await restocking of the back-ordered item(s) or pay an additional uplift shipping charge to ship the in-stock products, or if you would prefer for us to process a refund for the order.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated during checkout based on weight, box dimensions and destination of the items in the order. Payment for shipping will be collected with the purchase at checkout.

Unfortunately due to the nature of shipping goods both domestically and internationally, these rates only serve as an estimate and are reviewed by us regularly to make sure they are as accurate as possible. The rates are subject to change without warning by our couriers, resulting in a shipping uplift occasionally needing to be paid by the customer in some cases. We will contact you if this is the case. We do aim to minimize this cost as much as possible and apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. 

Please note that import duties and taxes, for orders with delivery outside of the United Kingdom, may be liable to be paid upon arrival in the destination country. This varies by country, and R44 Performance encourages you to be aware of these potential costs before placing an order with us and do your own research based on your country's specific requirements.

If you refuse to pay duties and taxes upon arrival at your destination country, the goods will be returned to R44 Performance at the customer's expense. The customer will receive a refund for the value of goods paid, minus the cost of the return shipping provided the goods arrive at us in the original condition and are not damaged in any way. The cost of the initial shipping will not be refunded in this case. If returned goods do not get to us for any reason, we cannot be held liable and reserve the right not to issue a refund for the goods.

If you refuse to pay duties and taxes upon arrival at the destination country and the goods are unable to be returned to us, no refund will be provided.

If delivery is completed by the courier without the fees being completed and our shipping account is charged due to this lack of payment, R44 Performance reserves the right to not accept future orders from this customer.

We offer free shipping for all orders over £99 within The United Kingdom. This, unfortunately, excludes shipping to Ireland, Scotland and our range of Maxton branded products. You can also pick up your order at our London warehouse. This option is offered free of charge and customer service will contact you as soon as your order is ready to be picked up. Just select this option at checkout instead of shipping.
