4. Can I return the item I ordered?
   No. Because these are collectibles we DO NOT accept returns or refusals once items are charged and shipped.  Once you order via credit card you are accepting these Terms & Conditions and chargebacks will not be allowed. 
5. Can I cancel my preorder?
   No.  At Buddy's Toys, a  pre-order is intended to reserve quantities of new, but still unreceived collectible offerings.  We advise you to keep records of all your pre-orders in case of a discrepancy.  Cancellation on pre-orders after 15 days of placement of order will result in a 15% restocking fee. Items sometimes vary from initial description.  Buddy's Toys is not responsible if the manufacturer changes the production number, design, or packaging of a collectible offered for pre-sale.  Buddy's Toys reserves the right to limit, cancel or allocate preorders.
6. When will my preorder ship?
   Preorders are for items advertised for release but with no "exact" release date.  If you see a month in the "stock/status" column, that is the expected release date from the manufacturer.  We receive our product approximately 30 days after it is shipped from China.  Be patient and Learn to use the Search feature to see if your Item is "I/S" In Stock. Please do not email and ask. 
7. Is my item in stock even though the website says it is?
   Most of the time Yes.  Especially for current year product.  However from time to time we offer sale/closeout items and only have one or two of each.  These orders will be filled first come first serve.  We fill the orders, ship, and then update the website.  So the item you ordered might not be in stock.  On sale items give 10 working days and if your card has not been charged contact us.  Please DO NOT send checks or money orders without checking "stock" with us first.  Do not send checks or Money Orders for Multiple Items if they are Pre-Orders without including proper shipping.  If you do this we will put your funds "on account" and add shipping per invoice.
8. I forgot what I had preordered with you?  Can you send me a list?
   At your request we will send you a copy of your back order report allowing you to keep abreast of what you have ordered. Give us time during the busy parts of the year.
9. I am outside the US.  Can you please mark my package as a "gift" for customs?
   No we cannot.  International customers are responsible for duties, taxes, customs charges, and/or brokerage fees assessed by their government and the delivery carrier.  We are not responsible if items are held up in customs.  No returns or refunds allowed on international shipments.  International shipments will be charged actual postage plus a $7.95 s/h fee.  We will ship Internationally two ways (1) payment via PayPal (2) payment via Credit Card but you must give us the phone or fax number of the Issuing Bank so that we can check that your billing address matches your order. 
10. I received a damaged item.  Can I return it?
    Yes you can.  Please email within 48 hours.  Include in the email the Item#, Your Complete Name as shown on your invoice, and address as shown on the UPS Label. Any damages must be reported within 48 hours of receipt.  Keep all packaging until we can contact you.

11. I emailed you xx days/hours ago and have NOT gotten an answer yet!
    We are an owner-run business.  I try to check all emails daily and try to answer as many as possible.  The more emails I get asking the questions above, the further behind I get.  Be Patient.

12. I chose "Call with Credit Card" when I ordered.  How and when do I contact you?
    You can call between the hours of 12 noon and 5 pm Eastern Standard Time.  If this is inconvenient for you email the BEST time for us to call you and we will do so.  We will only try once.  We cannot play phone tag.  You can input your card via our secure server here:

13. I emailed you about an "urgent" issue and have not heard back from you.  What do I do?
    Send the email again and put the word "Urgent" in the title so I will notice and read it before any other emails.

14. I would like to thank everyone for all of the comments, suggestions and business that you have given us over the past few years and I look forward to serving all of you in the future.  If you need to place an order and feel more comfortable doing it over the phone call toll free: 877-644-8697.  Cheryl
