Policy Details
If your shipment arrived damaged or the product is defective, follow these steps:
You'll receive a replacement, not a refund. Damaged or defective items are eligible for replacement only. Once we verify the claim, we'll send a replacement at no cost to you and cover all shipping — including a prepaid return label for the damaged item. Refunds are not offered in place of replacement.
If you paid for insured shipping: Damage claims must be filed directly with the shipping carrier's insurance. ModBargains is not involved in the insurance claim process for shipments where insurance was purchased separately by the customer.
| Detail | Damaged / Defective Returns |
|---|---|
| Reporting Deadline | 3 business days from delivery |
| Photo Documentation | Within 2 business days of report |
| Resolution | Replacement only — no refund |
| Return Shipping | We pay (prepaid label) |
| If Customer Purchased Insurance | Claim filed directly with carrier |
| RMA Required? | Yes — always |
Important: If the product received matches the item you ordered and approved but does not fit your vehicle, it will be treated as a customer ordering error, subject to return shipping costs and applicable restocking fees. This applies even if the product differs from expectations based on third-party images, discontinued variations, or assumptions about appearance.
If you received the wrong item and your order was placed correctly:
Need the correct part fast? Place a deposit equal to 100% of the item's cost and we'll ship the replacement immediately. Once we receive and inspect the wrong item, your deposit is fully refunded.
If you prefer a refund instead of an exchange, the return will be processed under the "Incorrect Parts Ordered" terms below, including applicable restocking fees.
We provide detailed product descriptions and free tech support to help you verify compatibility. It's your responsibility to confirm parts match your vehicle before ordering.
| Detail | Our Shipping Error | Your Ordering Error |
|---|---|---|
| Deadline | 14 days | 14 days |
| Restocking Fee (Refund) | None (exchange) | 25% |
| Restocking Fee (Credit) | None (exchange) | 15% |
| Return Shipping | We pay (domestic) | You pay |
Phone & email orders: Our reps verify all details before submission, but it's your responsibility to review the order confirmation email for accuracy and notify us of any errors before the item ships.
Shipping charges are non-refundable, including actual shipping costs incurred under any "Free Shipping" promotion. After 14 days from delivery, all sales are final.
We get it — sometimes you change your mind. If you simply no longer want a product you ordered:
| Detail | Change of Mind Returns |
|---|---|
| Return Window | 14 days from delivery |
| Restocking Fee (Refund) | 25% |
| Restocking Fee (Store Credit) | 15% |
| Return Shipping | You pay |
| Shipping Charges Refundable? | No — including "Free Shipping" costs |
After 14 days from delivery, all sales are final for change-of-mind returns. Custom or special-order items are non-returnable — see the Cancellations tab for details.
Wheels require special handling. These rules apply in addition to general return conditions:
Critical: Wheels that have had tires mounted or have been installed on a vehicle are considered used and are not returnable under any circumstances. This includes wheels that were shipped with tires already mounted at the customer's request — once tires are mounted, the wheels are considered used regardless of who performed the installation.
Not sure about fitment? Contact our Mod Experts before you order or install — they can verify fitment and help avoid a return entirely. Call (714) 582-3330 or email cs@modbargains.com.
Failure to inspect wheels prior to installation may result in the return being declined.
Refusing delivery ≠ cancellation. A refused delivery will incur a 15% restocking fee, plus all return shipping costs. Always contact us to cancel properly.
ModBargains is not responsible for missed deliveries. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure someone is available to receive the package and to provide accurate delivery information at checkout.
If you experience a missed or failed delivery, notify us within 14 days.
If a shipment is lost in transit, we'll file a claim with the carrier. Refunds, exchanges, or replacements will be issued once the carrier confirms the claim.
For non-signature-required deliveries: if tracking confirms delivery to the address you provided, our delivery obligation is considered fulfilled.
Custom-made or special-order items (e.g., custom-machined wheels) are non-returnable unless confirmed defective or damaged.
Important: Special and custom orders are refundable only before production begins. Once production has started, the order becomes non-refundable — no exceptions except for confirmed defects or damage on arrival.
If an item is backordered, we'll provide special order form paperwork. Terms in that form supersede the cancellation procedures above. In-stock items from your order will ship immediately when possible at no extra cost; if splitting shipment requires an additional fee, we'll contact you for approval.
Refunds are processed after we receive and inspect the returned item.
Where applicable: restocking fees (see the relevant tab for rates), original shipping costs (including actual costs under "Free Shipping" promotions), and fees for missing parts or damage found during inspection.
120-Day Limit: Refund requests submitted more than 120 days after the original transaction may be issued as store credit at our discretion.
Gift certificates are non-refundable. If you violate any provision of this policy, all refunds and shipping reimbursements are subject to ModBargains' discretion.
Every return requires an approved RMA number before you ship anything back.
All returned items are inspected. To qualify for a refund or exchange, every item must be:
Painted exterior components: Any exterior component (body kits, spoilers, fenders, mirrors, trim, etc.) that has been painted is considered used and is not eligible for return, regardless of whether it has been installed on a vehicle. Confirm fitment before painting.
Unless the return is due to our error or a confirmed defect, you are responsible for return shipping. Use a trackable and insured service, and pack items securely.
We may photograph or video-record returned items upon receipt for quality control and dispute resolution.
ModBargains is not responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, or other regulatory charges imposed on international orders. These fees are the sole responsibility of the customer and are determined by the destination country's customs authority. Refusal of a shipment due to unpaid customs fees will be treated as a refused delivery (see Cancellations tab).
ModBargains is a retailer, not the manufacturer. We do not provide or determine manufacturer warranties. If a product issue arises after our return period expires, you must contact the manufacturer directly. We're happy to help point you to the right warranty channel as a courtesy, but this does not create any warranty obligation on our part.
For all order support, contact ModBargains directly. Do not contact our suppliers or manufacturers regarding a return without our prior written consent. Unauthorized supplier contact may result in forfeiture of any refund or credit owed.
This policy is governed by the laws of the State of California. Disputes will be resolved in Orange County, CA courts. We may update this policy at any time; changes take effect upon posting. If any provision is found invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
If a chargeback or payment dispute is initiated at any time, the following conditions apply:
Important:
ModBargains reserves the right to deny future service, returns, or warranty assistance in cases of repeated or fraudulent chargebacks.
