Shipping rates and delivery times vary based on your location and selected shipping method. Tracking information will be provided once your order has shipped.

Returns & Exchanges:
We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you need to return an item, please review our policy below:

  • Unopened Model Kits: Returns can be initiated within 7 days of receiving your order. The item must be in its original, unopened, and undamaged packaging.
  • Opened Model Kits: Due to the nature of the products, we do not accept returns for opened or used model kits.
  • Return Process: To start a return, please email us at [your email] or text [your phone number] with your order details. The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs. Once we receive and inspect the returned item, we will issue a refund to your original payment method.

Price Match Policy

At Laplace Hobby Center, we are committed to offering competitive prices on our model kits. If you find the same Bandai or third-party model kit at a lower price from a reputable U.S.-based retailer, we will do our best to match it!

How It Works:

  • The item must be identical (brand, model, and condition) and in stock at both our store and the competitor’s store.
  • The competitor must be a reputable U.S.-based retailer (no auction sites, peer-to-peer marketplaces, or international stores).
  • The price match request must be made before your purchase or within 24 hours of your order being placed with us.
  • Shipping costs from the competitor will be factored into the final matched price.

How to Request a Price Match:

To request a price match, please email us at info@laplacehobbycenter.com with:

  • A link to the competitor’s listing showing the lower price.
  • Your order details (if you’ve already made a purchase).

Exclusions:

  • Clearance, flash sales, bundle deals, or special promotions.
  • Listings from third-party marketplaces (eBay, Amazon third-party sellers, etc.).
  • Price errors or misprints.
