30 day return/exchange policy (Product Guarantee)
We guarantee that every item we sell directly will give you complete satisfaction or you may return it for a replacement or for a refund of the purchase price* (US$), within 30 days of receipt of the item. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU OPEN ALL MERCHANDISE UPON RECEIPT TO INSPECT IT IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS POLICY.

We have a Wholesale Department, which provides service to direct dealers, as these vendors are responsible to assist their direct customers with returns/replacements.

If you purchased our product from a retailer and would like to return/replace the product click here.
If you purchased our product from an Ebay auction and would like to return/replace the product please click here.
If you purchased your item directly from Sideshow Collectibles:
Customers who purchased directly from Sideshow Collectibles should note that all returns/exchanges must be sent to us and received within 30 (THIRTY) days of the original delivery date of the product to you. The product must be returned in its original box/packaging in the same condition as it was sent to you. This means that the item must be returned intact with figures, accessories, bases, original packaging, outer shipment box as well as in a double boxed shipping carton, if this is how it was sent to you. Returned items that arrive with excessive damage due to improper packing may be assessed a damage product fee, of up to 10% of the product price.

Due to the limited edition nature of our product, we cannot guarantee that the item(s) can be replaced at the time of return or that damaged specific edition numbers can be replaced with the same number. In this case, we would offer a full refund of the purchase price (US$).

Sideshow Collectibles will not replace / exchange brown outer shipping cartons or base an exchange solely on the style of shipping carton you received. The shipping cartons are made to shield the item inside from damage during the shipping process and are not considered a part of the item’s packaging. Also, our warehouse and manufacturing facilities use different shipping box styles based on destination, product type, ordering lots, and availability. Therefore, you are not guaranteed to receive the same type of shipping carton on all orders.

We will pay the return shipping cost if the return / exchange is a result of our error such as a defect / damage or an error in filling your order. * If the purchase is being returned for any other reason than those previously stated, the buyer will be responsible for all shipping charges, including those to return the item(s) to us. Refunds will be the purchase price minus any applicable shipping charges.

They MUST cover the shipping. There's no exceptions to this rule unless you personally damage the item
Or what not.
At $700+ s/h included, this thing had better arrived in perfect condition at that ups facility.
I'm willing to dispute the charge if they want to pull the $30 credit bs if mine arrives defective, and I really don't see why anyone would not feel the same.

It was really painful canceling this after looking forward to it for the last two years. But I just don't have the space for it, let alone that massive box. It's a lot of money for a big plastic toy car, and I already own and love the Tumbler. Not to mention, I was also terrified of possible QC issues.

I think I'll always wish I'd have bought it, but I know I made the right choice, as difficult as it was.

This was my main concern. Does anyone know how many of them were made?
 
Who agrees Hot Toys is learning well from past experiences if this becomes another big problem?
 
I'd lol hard for a few minutes, then get really pissed. That wouldn't even cover the shipping I paid. :lol


I'm hoping they just have me destroy this sucker into oblivion, you know, smash it up real good. The Batmobile, the shield, everything. Then give me a round two with a completely new vehicle.


For some reason I'm getting kinda antsy. I keep thinking, "man, this thing is big, what if they tell me to **** off". Too bad it wasn't just the canopy that was messed up, then they could just send me that. Wrap it up, ship it out for 10 bucks, BAM, done.

Though I didn't buy this, I'm really curious how SS will handle this one as well.

They gave me the "each of these items are hand made and have weathering applied to them, to give an authentic feel to the product". They could maybe convince you that it's " battle damaged"?:pfft::gah::lol

Good luck, fab and the rest of you guys who ordered this. Perhaps HT is taking a note and fixing the later batches.
 
Wonder why they never used more foam. As well as thicker foam. They need to use foam that isn't coarse.
 
All these issues are getting me worried as well, not sure what AE will do if there's an issue.

Getting mine from AE too. Josh is about as good as it gets in terms of customer service so if there is a problem I'm hoping he will come through for me....although I've got my fingers crossed it won't come to that. :pray:
 
They do that and I will dispute the charges with my CC company. I paid over $700 for this. It should be perfect.

And then Sideshow will blacklist your credit card andname and you'll never be able to order from them ever again. Have fun with that :monkey1

If they weren't willing to give a replacement or a full refund I wouldn't ever order from them again anyway! I don't do business with companies that treat their customers like ****.

If a company can't stand by their products or the products they sell, then it's time to write that company off.
 
We'll see how they take care of this. Besides, I could always order on family/friends accounts so I'm not concerned. :lol

I don't get where you're getting the idea that Sideshow won't try to accommodate your needs :dunno

I just think everyone that's freaking out needs to take a deep breath and relax
 
why is it taking so long to hear back for Difabio?

They said to wait 3-5 days. I mean, it just happened yesterday. It's just been 24 hours now. :lol


Usually they're on that ****, though. When I had problems with my DX 12 (base wasn't lighting up, paint missing on the nose of the Bruce sculpt) they got it all sorted out within the day. I told them my problem via chat, they forwarded an email, and the returns department got a hold of me.


I'm not worried, they'll get back to me soon. They're probably just trying to figure out what's the most feasible option.

Recent history shows that they're more inclined to offer a $30-50 credit over replacing a statue. They did that on the Obi-Wan Mythos. Hopefully that was an isolated incident and they do this one properly because I'd really like to order one.

Yeah sounds like they didn't already have a defective item/returns plan in place before it shipped. And now that it has and they're faced with the issue for this large piece, they're scrambling to figure out what to do. Has SS never shipped something this big before? You'd think they'd already have a plan in place for how to deal with returns on large items, and how to eat the cost on shipping or pass it on to the manufacturer who screwed up on QC.
