Shipping Damage claim:

We ship via India Post OR Private Couriers. For international customers we use India Post EMS/Speed Post and DHL Express. However, due to past issues we are not able to provide any damage claim/replacements due to shipping damage if it is shipped via India Post, either domestic or international. Please note the details below:

  1. India Post EMS/Speed Post: this is comparatively cost effective , but since we don’t receive any insurance support, we cannot provide any damage compensations or replacements due to shipping damage. Customers assume risk of shipping via this method and if there’s a damage/loss, it needs to be borne by the customer
  2. DHL Express: This costs a little more, however, since we get full insurance support, we can give damage compensation/replacements provided enough evidence is furnished by the customer as per our damage claim policy in accordance with carrier insurance policy.

To ensure you can claim for compensation/replacement due to shipping damage, please ensure to select the right option at checkout. The shipping options clearly state if insurance is provided or not.

NO SHIPPING DAMAGE CLAIM WILL BE ACCEPTED UNLESS:

 - The shipment is sent via DHL/Private courier and NOT via Govt. Postal service.

- A COMPLETE, UNEDITED UNBOXING VIDEO IS PROVIDED AS A PROOF. The video must have one continuous shot of the recipient opening the packaging box, removing the protective clear cover, opening the product box, opening the product packaging and demonstrating the damage.

Drop us an email with your order id and the video proof of shipping damage at info@precisionmodelworks.co.in  within 3 days of the date of delivery. Our team will help you with your queries and resolve them at the earliest.

Customs and Tax:

Customers in India: For all purchases, a GST bill will be provided to you and the customers are not required to pay any additional charges apart from what is mentioned in the invoice at the time of delivery.

International Customers: No GST will be levied on your purchases, however, you are responsible to pay all customs duty and local taxes as levied by the authorities in the destination country. Please note that PMW neither takes any accountability of customs and taxes levied by any foreign countries, nor is responsible for any procedural matters, restrictions or ruling by other countries' authorities. If there is any dispute about customs charges, restrictions and procedures of the customs clearance process, the customer is required to coordinate with either the local customs officials directly, or the representative of the carrier to clear the matter.

IN THE EVENT THE CUSTOMER REFUSES TO PAY CUSTOMS CHARGES AND COOPERATE WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES, PMW will not be providing any refund or replacement. If the item is returned to PMW due to non-payment of the required customs duty/non-cooperation of the customer with local authorities, the cost of return as well as additional shipping charges to send the item back will be billed back to the customer.
