A special order quantity is more that one of any single item.

     If the reason for the return is due to an error by Mott’s, you can email us to request a UPS call tag.  Or fax customer service at 714-992-9068 if you do not have access to the internet.

  Rush Orders     If you have waited to place your order until the last minute, we will do everything we can to process your air shipment order as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately this may not guarantee that your order will be delivered to you in time for your event.  Orders may not be returned, cancelled or refused because they did not or will not reach their destination by a specified or un-specified date.  By placing an order with Mott’s, the customer agrees that Mott’s is not responsible for shipping delays caused by the carrier or by weather or other conditions.   We make every effort to ensure that orders are processed in a timely manner and to accommodate customers who are placing last-minute gift orders.
 
  Damaged Items      If you receive damaged merchandise, you must contact UPS directly at 1-800-742-5877, or you can report damages to UPS via the internet.   or you can contact Mott’s Customer Service at our Email Address or call 714-992-9063 if you do not have access to the internet.  Leave the item in its original containers and all packing materials.  UPS will inspect the item and reimburse Mott’s for the damages.   Do NOT return damaged merchandise unless instructed to do so by Mott’s Customer Service. Replacement items will then be sent to the customer.  Refunds will not be given on damaged items, replacements only.    Replacement items will be sent UPS Ground or by the same delivery method as the original shipment. 

     By placing an order from Mott’s the customer accepts that all damages are the responsibility of the carrier and that all items shipped by Mott’s were sent in good condition.  All damages must be reported to UPS (or the carrier of the package) or the Mott’s Miniatures within 3 days of receipt of your package.  Sorry, but no refunds will be issued on damaged items, they will be replaced only.  All shipments are F.O.B. Shipping Point and become the property of the receiver upon being turned over to the carrier.  The availability of replacement or re-imbursement is contingent upon the carriers approval of your damage claim to them.

  Lost Package    In the unlikely event that your property is lost while in transit to you, the package and its contents will be replaced by the carrier.  Sorry, but no refunds will be issued on lost packages, they will be replaced only and re-shipped at the same delivery speed as the original shipment.  All shipments are F.O.B. Shipping Point and become the property of the receiver upon being turned over to the carrier.  UPS requires 8 working days to search for your package if it becomes lost.  Replacement packages can not be sent until UPS completes their search.
  Mis-Directed Package   In the unlikely event that your package is mis-directed during the shipping process, the original package will be routed to the receiver as quickly as possible by the parcel carrier.  No order may be cancelled, refused or returned because it was mis-directed in shipping or mis-labeled.  Shipping terms are FOB shipping point and become the property of the receiver upon delivery to the carrier.  No replacement shipment will be made on any mis-directed or mis-labeled package unless the carrier is unable to locate it, in which case it becomes a Lost Package and will be replaced by the carrier.
  Attempted Delivery   All orders become the legal property of the receiver the moment we turn the package over to the carrier.  In the event that the receiver is not home, on vacation, or is un-available to sign for a package on three delivery attempts the carrier will forward the receivers property to their un-claimed goods department until such time as the receiver contacts the carrier to make delivery arrangements for their property.  This does not constitute a cancellation of an order nor does it remove the legal obligation for the buyer to pay for their order.
 
  Defective Items     We make every effort to ensure that everything you receive is just as it should be, but sometimes an item can have a defect that is not noticed until it is delivered to the customer.  If this happens, please email us at our Email Address for further instructions within 3 days of receipt of the package.   Orders can not be cancelled, refused or returned because of a manufacturers defect.   The defect will be corrected or replacement items will be sent ONLY.

      All doll house kits and furniture kits are guaranteed by the manufacturers, missing or defective parts will be replaced by the manufacturer.   Power tools and transformers are guaranteed by their manufacturers.  If you have a defective power tool you need to call the number in the operating instructions for information regarding repair or replacement.  All dollhouse kits are guaranteed directly by the manufacturer to be complete.  If you receive a dollhouse kit that is missing parts or has defective parts, please contact the manufacturer directly.  Their contact information will be on the instructions in the package.   Or you can email us and we can contact the manufacturer on your behalf.

 
  Order Cancellation Requests       If there are back-ordered items which have been un-available and you wish to cancel your out-of-stock back-order, just email us at our Email Address, or call customer service at 714-992-9063 and request that all un-available items will be cancelled.  Any items which are in stock and available at the time you cancel the un-available items will be sent out immediately.
       A restock fee of $5.00 will be applied to any order which is cancelled prior to 15 days from the date the order was placed.
      A minimum 10% or $5.00 (which ever is greater) re-stock fee will be applied to any shipment which is refused by a customer or for any rush order or air service or 3-day select order which is cancelled within 15 days of submission.  Customers will be responsible for all shipping charges and all re-shipping charges on any refused package.
      We make every effort to process a cancellation request in a timely manner.   Order cancellation requests are not guaranteed to keep an order from being shipped out if it has already been processed by the time the cancellation request is received.
     Orders for power tools, doll houses, dollhouse kits, or other special order items may not be cancelled, returned or refused for any cause.

   In the event of an order cancellation, any payment not applied to prior shipments will remain in the customers store account toward any other existing order(s) or their next order.  Mott’s reserves the right to approve or deny any cancellation request in its sole and absolute discretion.  Mott's reserves the right to turn over to a collections agency any un-paid cancellation fees.

 
  Wrong Items    We make every effort to fill orders correctly, but our staff is only human.   If we make a mistake we reserve the right to correct it.  If we shipped you the wrong items you may return them for the correct items.   You can either send them back UPS Ground or U.S. Mail Parcel Post, or fax us at 714-992-9068 (or email) within 3 days of receipt of your shipment, and we can send a call tag.  If you ship back the incorrect items via UPS ground or U.S. Mail Parcel Post.we will credit you the return shipping.

  Discontinued or Un-available items.      It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to produce sufficient quantities of its product to meet consumer demand.  We make every effort to keep our web site up to date with information regarding availability of product.  Please note that we do not issue refunds on pre-paid orders because an item is discontinued or un-available.  The customer will receive a store credit only or can choose a substitute.   Customers will be notified of discontinued or un-available items on their final invoices.  Credit card orders generally are not billed until the products are shipped.  The purchase of one or more items is not contingent upon the availability of any one or more other items.  Mott’s reserves the right to send out partial shipments.

Orangethorpe Avenue, Fullerton, CA 92831.
