Shipping Terms and Conditions


You accept PS, EMS,  and all other mail carriers Pilotfly offers (“Mail Carrier(s)”) as reliable mail carriers and Pilotfly carriers of choice.

If you select Air mail service, Pilotfly will send your packages with Taiwan Postal Service (“TWPS”). Depending on the type of TWPS service you choose (First Class, Priority Mail, or Express Mail) the package may show receipt by the USPS, but may not show any tracking information after it was received by the USPS. Even mail service types that typically provide full tracking information to your location may sometimes not show any information beyond the TWPS receiving the package. Pilotfly has no influence or control over the internal processes of Mail Carriers or the local postal system of your country. Pilotfly can not be held liable for any mistakes made by a Mail Carrier or your local country’s postal service.


Lost packages


If the tracking information for your package shows receipt by any of Pilotfly’s mail carriers, Pilotfly is not responsible if your package never arrives at your location. No refunds will be provided if your package is lost in the mail system either in the Taiwan or in your destination country. Almost all packages sent by Pilotfly reach their recipient.


Mail service delays


In rare cases and depending on your ship to address, it can take much longer than indicated for a package to reach you and independent of the mail service you chose during check-out. The delivery time frames provided are averages for most mail pieces. Pilotfly is not responsible if a Mail Carrier or your local country’s postal service delays the arrival of your package due to custom holds or other issues. Pilotfly does not provide refunds in case your package is delayed.


Customs, Duties, and “Return to Sender” Packages


For orders shipped outside the Taiwan, you are solely responsible for any and all import duties your local customs office may impose on your order. If a package is returned to Pilotfly due to the Mail Carrier’s inability to collect customs duties or deliver the package to your provided ship-to address,Pilotfly will not refund shipping costs when and if the package is returned to Pilotfly.


Please be advised that you may be required to pay import tax and duty fees for your parcel on arrival in your country. 

If you fail or refuse to pay this import tax you understand that:

  1. Paying import tax is a legal requirement for importing goods into many countries* and Copter-rc are not responsible for additional fees charged.

  2. Your order will return all the way to our warehouse in Taiwan.

  3. You will only be refunded for the value of your goods minus the additional shipping cost for returning your item to our warehouse.

  4. This return shipping price can be up to 3x HIGHER than the initial shipping cost as FedEx do not offer discount rates on return shipments.

  5. The value of orders to Norway, Brazil and South Korea must be declared at 100%



* If you are unsure if you are required to pay import tax in your country, please visit your government's taxation website or your local customs office for more information.
 


Information for International Shipments


For international shipments, the First Class Mail International or EMS . Fedex options typically will not provide tracking or delivery confirmation after the shipments leave the Taiwan.  EMS are more likely to be scanned after they leave the Taiwan, but there is no guarantee from Pilotfly, or the TWPS that items will receive additional scans.  Please note that delivery times for TWPS international shipments can vary wildly, even for Priority and Express Mail shipments, and it could take 1-2 months to receive items sent via the Taiwan Post Office under worst case situations. Since the TWPS will not claim responsibility for packages and the shipments are not normally scanned once they leave the United States, Pilotfly  cannot be held responsible for lost shipments for international orders when they have been shipped via any TWPS method.  Choosing a TWPS method of shipment for international shipments is the customer’s choice and they are accepting full responsibility for any lost shipment.  If you want a fully traceable shipment, you must choose FedEx as the method of shipment.  You agree to these terms when placing an order with us.
