Shipping Protection

Navidium Shipping Protection is a cost-effective way to ensure your order is protected. At checkout you are automatically opted in to Navidium for your convenience. By opting out of shipping protection, you acknowledge that Hand Held Legend is not liable for lost, damaged, or stolen shipments. Refunds/replacements will not be provided in this scenario.

Look over the guidelines to file a claim on time and properly. It is up to the customer to file a claim during the time frames given. If a claim is not filed by the customer on time, we may only be able to honor up to a 50% refund or replacement package/item if there is an issue with the order, at our discretion.

If you do not have Navidium Shipping Protection on your order and the package is lost, the customer will need to wait for our support team to attempt to locate the package with the shipping company or attempt to receive a credit. If a credit is given to us by the shipping company, we can only then process a refund or replacement package.

Duties, VAT, and other Taxes

Products and shipping options do not include international taxes, duties, VAT or other fees as regulated by foreign governments. As listed on the cart page during checkout, all orders are DDU. We take no responsibility for customs/import charges. If you are unaware of the current policy for your state/country of residence, please contact your local customs office before ordering so you know what to expect.

Customers who do not wish to pay customs fees for any reason after your order has been shipped, cannot have their items refunded until the package arrives back to us. We may not see any further tracking updates on the package tracker, which means that we cannot provide an estimated return date. We will not refund for shipping or Navidium Shipping Protection costs.

No. We are legally required to provide an unaltered purchase amount and invoice according to your countries import laws. Changing prices is illegal.

Refusal of Package or Undeliverable Package

If a package is refused for delivery by the customer for any reason, this package could potentially be disposed of by the shipping company and/or may not be returned to us for several reasons. In this scenario, you may be subject to a waiting period to determine if/when the package may be returned to us. If it is determined that the package will not be returned to our office, we may honor up to a 50% refund of the items in your order at our discretion.

If a package has been deemed as 'Undeliverable' by the shipping company for any reason, including but not limited to, the customer entering in an address incorrectly/incomplete, inaccessible mailbox, missing correct name from shipment on mailbox, failure to pick-up package at post office after unsuccessful delivery, refusal to/did not pay customs fees, and more, this may also result in the package being disposed of by the shipping company or it may be lost in transit back to us. In this scenario, we may honor up to a 50% refund or replacement of items at our discretion.
