Post and Packaging
Post and packaging charges are automatically calculated, based on order weight and delivery location, at the checkout. Orders are sent using a courier service or Royal Mail First Class, dependant on weight. Please contact us for delivery costs outside the UK.
1.1. We advise you to inspect all items immediately upon arrival. Please do not accept packages that show signs of damage in transit without thoroughly checking the contents first, goods damaged in transit are subject to a claim on the carrier; please do not accept them as the carrier may be asking you to sign for them in good condition. Inform us immediately if you have refused an item and we will arrange a replacement.
1.2. We advise you that if a courier delivers a parcel to you and you do not physically check the contents for damage you should sign for the goods as unchecked. This makes making a claim easier if you later find damage to your delivery as without this disclaimer you are signing for them in good condition.

Missing/Delayed Deliveries

If you do not receive delivery by the expected delivery date please get in touch immediately so the courier can be contacted as failed deliveries have to be reported within 7 days of us sending the goods.

3.3. If goods are disputed as delivered, this is where the courier says they have delivered and have a signature from the addressee for receipt of them, but you are stating you have not had them then the courier will not raise a claim until they are satisfied the goods have not been delivered after an investigation has been carried out. Part of this investigation is to interview the delivery driver, unfortunately in this very rare situation the goods cannot be resent until the courier raises a claim.

If you do not receive delivery by the expected delivery date please get in touch immediately so the order can be. In the unfortunate event your goods go missing Royal Mail will only raise a claim after 15 working days have passed from the date of dispatch.

Once this has passed then if the goods are still undelivered your order will be resent.

Part of this investigation is to interview the Postman, unfortunately in this very rare situation the goods cannot be resent until the Royal Mail raises a claim.

Pre-Testing
5.1. The Radio Controlled models, Bikes and Scooters we sell are hobby products, to operate them successfully the user needs to either have some experience or be prepared to familiarise themselves with the necessary background information before using them. This information is readily available on the internet or by contacting us by e-mail at info[a]tsportpower.com
5.2. All of the items we sell require maintenance and adjustment to keep them working properly and to prevent damage to the components.
5.3. Please remember that all items should be checked by the user prior to every use ensuring that everything is tightened and adjusted as it should be, and batteries are secure. Also, for fuel powered items it is essential to check for any fuel leaks each time the item is filled with fuel and do not use any item that shows any sign of a fuel leak. Where appropriate the user should perform a full radio check including a range check before switching a model on or starting an engine. If the item suffers a bump you should check that nothing has been knocked out of adjustment.
5.4. If you have a problem with your radio equipment or if there is any damage to the aerials do not attempt to use the model until the problem has been resolved, please contact us for advice.
5.5.

This is readily available on the internet or by contacting us at info[a]tsportpower.com
5.6. We will offer advice and help as much as possible but are unable to accept returns for items that have been damaged by incorrect use, from customers who are unable to adjust their models or from customers who have not correctly checked and set up their model or bike before use.

The warranty covers the replacement of any parts with a manufacturing fault within the warranty period which will be sent by post for you to fit. Warranty claims are not eligible for refund unless we decide the supply of replacement parts is not appropriate and a suitable used or new replacement is not available within a reasonable period.
6.2. The products we sell are hobby products and therefore the user can reasonably be expected to be able to fit parts replaced under warranty.
6.3. When claiming under a warranty you may be asked to provide photographs of the faulty part and the general condition of the whole item, in some circumstances you may also be asked to return the product or defective component to us for examination or to be returned to the manufacturer.
6.4. Due to the nature of the products we sell and the environment they operated in, breakages can occur in normal use therefore general wear and tear or any damage caused by misuse is not covered, this warranty covers you solely against manufacturing faults.
6.5. The products we sell are hobby products that require maintenance and parts replacing in normal use, therefore some components are not covered by the warranty, these include but are not limited to, crash damage however caused, component failure or premature wear due to crash damage, glow plugs, spark plugs, pull start mechanisms, spur gears, tyres, inner tubes, clutches, chains, drive belts, brake or disk pads, water damage, incorrect battery charging and discharging, use of incorrect fuel for the item, use of incorrect or incorrectly mixed lubricating oil, normal wear and tear, use of after market upgrades unless supplied by us for that model.

6.8. All warranty claim decisions are final.

7.12. An extended warranty period may be accepted at certain times of the year (such as models purchased as Christmas presents) or in exceptional circumstances however this is at our discretion and only if pre-agreed between us in writing.
7.13. For the purposes of determining when an item has been used this is determined as being from the point fuel was put into the item for Nitro and Petrol powered goods and from the point the battery was charged for Electric Items.
Lithium batteries (LiPo, Li-Poly, Li-ion)
8.1. Fire can be caused by: ‘Overcharging’ (wrong charger or charger setting, unbalanced battery load, charger fouled by poor power supply), charging a damaged cell or pack and short circuit (including crash damage).
Cells or packs can be damaged by: Over discharging (running too flat and/or too hot, discharging an unbalanced battery load), short circuit and crash damage.
8.2. Charging guidelines: Always charge on a surface that cannot catch fire easily, concrete, steel etc. Do not charge on carpet, paper or any other items that can catch fire easily!
8.3. Never over discharge your battery. What does this mean? It means when you notice a power drop (when using your helicopter or car), stop! Immediately! It also means disconnect your battery from the helicopter or car, even if you switch off the model or transmitter and you leave it connected it will still discharge really slowly. Really slowly for a day is a lot!
8.4. If you over discharge and then charge again you may experience puffing. This is where the cells swell. If this happens you can never use the battery again. If you charge a puffed battery then expect a fire!
8.5. Use the correct charger.
8.6. Do not overcharge your battery. Always set a timer and don’t leave your battery charging unattended. If you do not know the charging time of your battery give us a call or emails us before you attempt to charge.
8.7. Lipo batteries are expensive and can be dangerous so need to be treated with care, if you need any help with charging please contact us.
