Refund policy
Retro Rat
At Retro Rat, we specialize in unique and collectible toys, and we want every customer to feel confident when shopping with us. This policy explains how returns, refunds, and related concerns are handled for orders placed on our website.
1. 30-Day Return Period
We offer a 30-day return window starting from the date your order is delivered. Requests made after this period may not be approved.
2. Conditions for Returns
To qualify for a return, items must meet all of the following requirements:
- Unused and in the same condition as received
- Returned in original packaging with all included parts
- Free from damage caused after delivery
- Accompanied by proof of purchase (order confirmation or receipt)
Items that are not eligible for return include:
- Final sale or clearance products

- Items altered, assembled, or damaged by misuse
3. Starting a Return
To request a return, please contact our support team:
- Email: support@retrorat.shop
- Phone: (727) 330-6131
Include your order number and a brief explanation of the reason for the return. If approved, we will provide step-by-step return instructions.
Important: Returns sent without prior authorization may be declined.
4. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Orders
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or different from what you ordered, notify us within 7 days of delivery.
Please include photos of the issue so we can review it quickly. If confirmed, we will:
- Send a replacement at no cost, or
- Issue a full refund, including any applicable shipping fees
5. Refund Processing
After we receive and inspect your returned item:
- Approved refunds are issued within 5–10 business days
- Refunds are returned to the original payment method
- Processing time may vary depending on your bank or payment provider
Shipping fees are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error.
6. Return Shipping Responsibility
- If the return is due to damage, defect, or incorrect shipment, we cover return shipping
- For all other returns (e.g., change of mind), the customer is responsible for return shipping costs
We recommend using a trackable shipping service, as we are not responsible for lost return shipments.
7. Exchanges
We currently offer exchanges only for items that are defective or damaged. For all other cases, we recommend placing a new order after completing a return.

Orders may be canceled within 12 hours of purchase. After this timeframe, orders may already be processed and cannot be modified or canceled.

- Order cut-off time: 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST)
- Orders placed after this time are processed the next business day
