General FAQ's
We offer various expedited shipping methods to nearly everywhere in the world. When you are checking out, you will be presented with a number of shipping options with the three major U.S. Carriers: UPS, FedEx, and The US Postal Service. Shipping costs are calculated in real-time based on current rates & fuel surcharges.
Have you received my payment yet?In order to make payment, you must fully complete the checkout process.
You will automatically be notified via email when your payment has been received/cleared. If you have not received this email, be sure you are checking the email address you provided during the checkout process, and also be sure that you are checking your spam/bulk folders, as sometimes the emails will end up here. To make sure you receive all correspondence from us, please add support@vpgames.com to your Safe Senders list.
If you have not received any email from us 24 hours after making payment, then we have not received your payment. Please email us at support@vpgames.com and we will gladly assist you.
When/how will my order ship?We ship orders once per day, no later than 48 hours after payment has cleared, excluding weekends and holidays. The average processing time (time it takes for an order to ship after payment has cleared) is less than 24 hours for items in stock.
The speed of your shipment depends on the level of service you select during the checkout process.
If there are any problems with your order, you will be notified within 3 business days or sooner. Your tracking number and all other notifications from us will be sent to the email address you provided during the checkout process - make sure you are checking the correct email address! If you have not received your shipping notification within 48 hours after your payment has cleared (excluding weekends and holidays), please check your Spam/Bulk Mail folders, as sometimes our shipping notifications will be caught in your email filters.
Please choose your shipping option carefully and take note of the expected delivery time for each one. Please check your tracking number for updates regarding your order unless it has exceeded the expected delivery time for your chosen level of service. If your wait has exceeded the estimated delivery window, please email support@vpgames.com so we can take care of the situation for you.
What payment methods do you accept?We accept Credit Cards, Checks, Cashier's Checks, PayPal, and Money Orders in US funds only. If you would like to pay by credit card, you may do so through Paypal, or through our secure Google Checkout System. At this time we do not accept orders over the phone.
How do I return an item?We are sorry you are unsatisfied with your purchase! We strive to please every single customer, and this is why we offer a 30 day money back guarantee on all our products. For instructions on how to return a product, please see our Returns page by clicking here:
I received a payment reminder message saying that you have not received my payment, but my records differ. What is going on?These messages are sent out automatically when our system has not recognized payment after a given number of days. If you sent your payment in the mail, this means it has not been received yet, or we were unable to find a reference item number to go along with your payment. If you sent your payment with delivery confirmation, now would be the time to put a trace on the payment.
If you paid with PayPal or your credit card and received this message, it usually means that the payment has not cleared yet. However, it could also be a system error. If you have received a payment receipt confirmation email from PayPal, yet still received a payment reminder email from us, please send us an email at support@vpgames.com so we can look into this for you.
Do I need to pay any international customs duties on my purchase?In some countries, customers receiving merchandise from the U.S. or any other country need to pay a customs duty, or tarriff, or other fee. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of international shipping, we cannot offer information as to whether or not any fees will apply to your shipment. Because of this, vpgames policy states that international customers are responsible for all duties, tarriffs, and fees.
If your package arrives and you do owe a fee, the fee must be paid before you can receive the merchandise. The carrier may also give you the option of refusing the merchandise. Although this is your option, you do not want to refuse merchandise. All refused merchandise will be subject to a 40% restocking fee, and the return shipping fee will also be taken out of your refund when we receive the merchandise back.
How can I buy your products in bulk?If you would like more than ten of a particular item, we are more than happy to get you huge bulk discounts for large quantities! Simply let us know which item(s) you are interested in. You can make us an offer, and if we agree, we will send your packages, you receive a great deal, and everyone is happy!
To get started, we have a quick new Bulk Request Form located here.
I think the address I gave you when making payment is incorrect, can you please send my order to another address?Because our items are shipped so quickly after receiving payment, it is very difficult to change an address once it has been entered in our system, though not impossible. Please note that Paypal can sometimes make you think your item was sent to the address you have on file, but the only delivery address that matters is the one you entered during checkout.
If you have not received a notice that your order has shipped yet, and you are still concerned that your order will ship to the wrong address, please send an email to support@vpgames.com with your 9 digit order number so we can try to correct it in time, though with our quick shipping time please understand that this is extremely difficult to do.
