2. Payment Methods


U.S. Customers
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express via our secure online store. We also accept PayPal. All credit card orders must support AVS (Address Verification Service), which verifies that your billing address matches the address on file with your card issuer. Cards that do not support AVS will be declined. AVS is currently supported in the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

International Customers
We accept PayPal for international orders from eligible countries. Note: orders from PayPal accounts with unconfirmed addresses may be rejected.

3. Pricing, Taxes & Handling


Product Pricing & Specifications
All prices are subject to change without notice. Product descriptions and specifications are also subject to change without notice.

Sales Tax
All orders shipped within the state of Colorado are subject to a combined state, county, and RTA sales tax of 4.9%.

Handling Fee
Orders totaling less than $5.00 in shippable merchandise are subject to a $0.95 handling fee to help offset processing and packaging costs. This fee does not apply to orders of $5.00 or more.

4. Domestic Shipping


Our Standard Ground method features a base shipping rate of $5.90, which increases based on order weight and bulk. Orders ship via FedEx Ground/Home or USPS First Class/Parcel/Priority — whichever offers the best available rate. Standard Ground orders typically arrive within 5–7 business days.

We process and ship most domestic orders within 1–2 business days of receipt. Overnight and next-day delivery are not currently available.

If your delivery address requires a specific carrier — for example, FedEx cannot deliver to PO Boxes — please note your preference at checkout and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

5. International Shipping & Customs


International orders typically ship within 3 business days. All orders ship FOB origin (Calhan, CO): once your order leaves our facility, title passes to you and you are responsible for all shipping charges and any freight claims.

Carrier recommendation: We recommend UPS for international orders — it provides the most reliable delivery and the best tracking from door to door. Please be aware that UPS does assess customs duties and processing fees at delivery, which are the responsibility of the recipient. USPS Priority Mail International and Express Mail International are also available at lower cost, though tracking within your destination country and final delivery timelines may vary.

Customs & Import Duties
International orders may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees assessed by your country upon arrival. These charges are the sole responsibility of the recipient. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Please contact your local customs office if you have questions about your country’s import regulations.

All international shipments are declared as “Toy Model Airplane Parts” at their exact value. We comply fully with all U.S. Customs regulations and will not falsify customs documents under any circumstances — please do not ask us to do so.

Lost in Transit — International Orders
International shipments occasionally experience delays that resolve on their own within a few days. If your shipment appears delayed or stalled in tracking, we recommend first contacting your local postal agency — parcels are sometimes held in customs awaiting duty payment.

30-day wait required: As an international customer, you agree to allow a minimum of 30 days from the date of shipment before declaring an item lost in transit and requesting a replacement or refund. USPS will not initiate a lost-package investigation until 30 days have elapsed. We are committed to ensuring your order reaches you and will reship or file a refund claim for orders confirmed lost in transit.

6. Shipping Insurance


All orders are insured for up to $100.00 against loss. Additional insurance is optional and must be purchased prior to checkout. If you do not purchase additional coverage, you assume all liability for any loss exceeding $100.00. Reimbursement will not exceed the lesser of your insured value or your order total including shipping.

7. Damaged, Lost & Missing Shipments


Receiving Your Order
Please inspect all items promptly upon arrival and notify us within 48 hours of delivery of any damaged or missing items.

Order Tracking
All shipments include a tracking number. Domestic and international orders can be tracked at USPS.com or UPS.com. For international USPS shipments, once your parcel leaves the United States, final delivery is handled by your local postal agency — contact them with your tracking number for delivery status and any customs or duty information.

Filing a Damage Claim
Contact us within five (5) business days of receiving damaged goods to request a claim form. Return the completed form with all supporting documentation within 60 days of the shipment date. For lost parcels, you must wait 21 days (domestic) or 45 days (international) from the ship date before filing a claim.

Mail all claim forms to:
Stevens Aeromodel
26405 Judge Orr Rd.
Calhan, CO 80808

8. Returns & Refunds

  • Merchandise must be returned new, unused, in the original sealed package, and in resalable condition.
  • Returns with incomplete, opened, or missing packaging will not be accepted.
  • You must include a copy of your original invoice and a brief note describing the reason for the return.

  • Special order items may not be returned.

Refunds and exchanges are issued at our sole discretion.

9. Kit Warranty & Defective Merchandise


Kit Warranty
Stevens Aeromodel guarantees all model kits to be free from defects in material and workmanship at the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover components damaged through use or modification. In no case shall Stevens Aeromodel’s liability exceed the original purchase price of the kit. Stevens Aeromodel reserves the right to modify this warranty without notice.

Because Stevens Aeromodel has no control over the final assembly or materials used by the builder, no liability is assumed for any damage resulting from use of the assembled product. By using the assembled product, the user accepts all associated liability. If you are not prepared to accept this liability, return the kit unused to the place of purchase.

Defective Merchandise
Please inspect all goods promptly upon receipt. Defective merchandise may be exchanged within 30 days of purchase, new and unused, in original packaging. Include a brief description of the defect with your return.

Electronic Components
All electronic products are warranted by their respective manufacturers. If an electronic item has failed, is defective, or requires warranty service, please contact the manufacturer or distributor directly for support.

10. Lithium Polymer Battery Safety


Important: Upon receiving your battery, test it for low voltage condition before charging or discharging. There is absolutely no warranty for any Lithium Polymer battery or battery pack once it has been placed on a charger.

The use of Lithium Polymer batteries in radio-controlled models is considered experimental. Discharge rates in RC use routinely exceed manufacturer-specified maximums; therefore no warranty, expressed or implied, applies to the capacity, cycle life, storage, or discharge characteristics of cells in RC applications.

Battery charging and discharging, electric motors, spinning propellers, and flying model aircraft all carry the potential for serious injury to persons and damage to property. In purchasing and using these products, the buyer agrees to accept full responsibility for all such risks and not to hold the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer — including their owners and employees — responsible for any accident, injury, or property damage.

11. Waiver & Release of Liability

All disputes and matters whatsoever arising under, in connection with or incident to this agreement shall be litigated, if at all, in and before a court located in the State of Colorado, USA, to the exclusion of the courts of any other state or country.
