After your order has been processed and handed to the carrier, estimated delivery times are as follows:
| Destination Zone | Estimated Transit Time |

Important: Delivery time estimates are calculated from the date of shipment, not the date of order placement. Total time from order to delivery is typically 5 Business Days under normal conditions.

-
Carrier delays, strikes, or operational disruptions
-
Severe weather or natural disasters

High-volume shipping periods (e.g., holidays)
-
Incorrect or incomplete delivery address provided by the customer

If you no longer wish to keep the item, you must initiate a return in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy after taking delivery.

A Return Processing Fee (as defined in Section 9) will apply.
Attempting to cancel a shipped order through a payment dispute (chargeback) without first following our return process may be treated as a breach of these terms and may affect your eligibility for refunds.

10. Lost or Stolen Packages
10.1 Carrier Responsibility
Once a package has been handed to the carrier and a tracking number issued, the carrier assumes responsibility for the shipment. We are not liable for packages that are lost, stolen, or damaged due to the carrier's actions or inactions.
10.2 What To Do If Your Package Is Lost
If your tracking shows no movement for 5 or more consecutive Business Days, or the carrier marks the shipment as "lost," contact us immediately at support@spirkscooter.com.
We will file a claim with the carrier on your behalf. Resolution timelines are subject to the carrier's investigation process (typically 7 Business Days).
We will offer a replacement shipment or store credit once the carrier's investigation confirms the loss. Cash refunds for lost packages are subject to our Return & Refund Policy.
10.3 Delivered But Not Received ("Porch Theft")
If the carrier records a successful delivery but you did not receive the package:
-
File a police report immediately and provide us with the report number.
-
Contact us within 48 hours of the Delivery Confirmation timestamp.
-
We will cooperate with law enforcement and the carrier's investigation, but we are not responsible for theft that occurs after confirmed delivery to the designated address.
We strongly recommend selecting a secure delivery address or requiring a signature at delivery where available.
11. Shipping Damage
We take great care in packaging your order. However, damage may occasionally occur in transit.
11.1 Inspection Upon Receipt Required Actions
Before signing:
-
Inspect the outer packaging for visible damage.
-
If damage is apparent, note it clearly on the carrier's Bill of Lading or delivery receipt before signing.
-
Do not refuse delivery solely due to packaging damage; accept the package, note the damage, and then contact us.
-
Take clear photographs and/or video of the outer packaging and the damaged item(s).
11.2 Reporting Deadline Strictly Enforced
You must contact us at support@spirkscooter.com within 24 hours of the Delivery Confirmation timestamp.
Your report must include:
-
Your order number
-
A clear description of the damage
-
Dated photographs or video showing both the outer packaging and the damaged item(s)
-
Confirmation that damage was noted on the carrier document (if applicable)
11.3 Resolution
If your claim is accepted:
-
We will arrange for replacement of damaged parts at no cost to you.
-
If a replacement part is unavailable, we will offer an appropriate alternative resolution.
-
We reserve the right to request the return of damaged parts before issuing a replacement.
-
Shipping costs for warranty spare parts sent to the customer will be borne by the customer, unless otherwise specified.
11.4 Limitations
Shipping damage claims are separate from and independent of our Limited Warranty. The Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused during transit; shipping damage is handled exclusively under this Section 11.
We are not responsible for damage caused by improper handling by the customer after delivery.
12. Returns Shipping Costs
-
Customer-initiated returns (e.g., change of mind, wrong size ordered by customer): The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. Original shipping fees are non-refundable.
-
Our-error returns (e.g., wrong item shipped, item materially not as described): We will provide a prepaid return shipping label and will not charge any Return Processing Fee.
-
Warranty returns: Please refer to our Limited Warranty Terms for applicable shipping responsibilities.
All return shipping fees are subject to the rates of the carrier you select. We recommend using a carrier that provides tracking and insurance for high-value items, as we are not responsible for returned packages lost in transit.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability for any shipping-related claim shall not exceed the purchase price paid for the affected item(s). We shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from shipping delays, carrier errors, or theft after delivery.
Nothing in this policy is intended to, nor shall, limit any rights you may have under applicable U.S. consumer protection laws.
14. Governing Law
This Shipping & Delivery Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under this policy shall be resolved in the courts of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in such courts.
15. Policy Updates
We reserve the right to modify this Shipping & Delivery Policy at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to our website. Your continued use of our website and services after any modification constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
