Shipping Rates & Policies
Customer Service is Our Top Priority!
It is our promise to offer the best products, best service and, most of all, the best communication possible. Even with the best of intentions, things do go astray and we make every effort to rectify any problem that arises. High volume sometimes delays shipments and responses to questions, but we do our best to respond to your inquiries as fast as possible. We offer a wide variety of types and manufacturers of products. We feel our product lines are the best available on the market today. Please keep in mind that many companies whose products we carry are small, independent manufacturers; we also carry a large amount of unique and imported products which are typically made in small quantities. In both cases, it takes time to restock these items. In the event an item is out of stock you will be notified immediately and it will automatically be placed on back order. With orders of multiple items we generally ship in-stock items and send you a card notifying you that out-of-stock items have been placed on back-order and the excepted delivery time.
We Match + Pricing Policy
We match any regular priced items advertised by our competitors in the United Sates. We are confident that we have the most competitive prices in the hobby industry. It is important to us to please our customers. For that reason, we will not be undersold. Send us the Web link, or URL, or print copy of any current product listing and we will match that price, plus offer an additional 2% discount. Items must be in stock here and at the competitor. Excludes sale items or items advertised on eBay and any auction web site. Matched prices negate preferred customer discounts.
Become a Preferred Customer and Save 10-20%
Register and Become a MichToy Preferred Customer. Start saving at least 10% on all orders with some discounts up 20%. Please note that if you do not login you will not receive the discounts. They are only visible and available once you log in.
There are a number of discounts available throughout the site, and they may behave inconsistently. If you think a combination of discounts has been incorrectly applied, include a note with your order and we will be happy to review and make an appropriate refund or adjustment to total price.
Pre Order Products Policy
We offer hundred's of products as pre orders on our Upcoming Releases page. Most of these products are offered at a savings of 10-15%. When you pre order a product you will not be charged until the product arrives. When a product arrives we charge you and ship it. We do not notify you when a pre order arrives unless you request it in advance. If you choose to pay in advance by PayPal we will hold your order until all items arrive or you make separate shipping arrangements (extra shipping costs may apply) with us.
Product Status
We do our best to update product availability and status but things do fall through the cracks. We do our best to let you know of any out of stock items listed as Available as soon as possible. We also have 1000s of products available to us through our supply network that we do not carry as part of our regular inventory. We can order these products for you and because we do not inventory them we can pass the savings on to you. If you are a patient person you can save money and we can make a little bit in the process! All the products we offer show a product status in the listings and the product info page. Below is a general key to these status.
