Riverview Hobbies is secured for online transactions with SSL (Secure Sockets
Layer). SSL is a high-security feature built into major browsers to insure your
shopping experience and personal information is protected.
The most efficient way to contact us is through our Contact page. We will
see email from the site sooner than a voice message and can respond in a more timely
manner. If there are ever any issues where we need to contact you personally
via a phone call, we will use the phone number included with your payment transaction
or we'll send you an email to ask for a number and a good time to call you.
All payments are processed through PayPal. When you checkout from our store
your shopping cart contents are transferred to PayPay for payment processing.
The cart displayed on PayPal will have all of your ordered items with shipping
charges displayed as a line item. If you need to make changes after being
transferred to PayPal, click the back button on your browser to return to
Riverview Hobbies where you can edit or change the contents of your shopping
cart.
Once you're at the PayPal site, you'll have the option of paying for your
order with a credit card or you can use your PayPal account. Once your payment
is successfully completed with PayPal, we will receive notification of your payment.
You will then receive an order confirmation email from Riverview Hobbies confirming
receipt of your order and payment. You may track the status of your order
on our website (no login is required). The link will be included in your
order confirmation email
Riverview Hobbies reserves the right to choose the carrier. We cannot
accommodate requests for preferred shippers at this time. Riverview Hobbies and/or the
carriers reserve the right to request a signature for proof of delivery.
We cannot demand a shipment carrier to leave a package. Please contact the
carrier for instructions on available options. Once the package is
successfully delivered, we are not responsible for theft or damage to the
merchandise. When using a forwarding company, we are not responsible for
lost or damaged merchandise after the forwarding company has accepted delivery.
The forwarding company must report shipping damage for a claim to be filed.
We are not responsible for any delivery delays due to weather conditions and/or
attempted deliveries.
Accepting a package purchased with a fraudulent credit card places you in
possession of stolen merchandise. You may be responsible for any legal or
collection action related to the shipment. Shipping charges are
non-refundable.

Notice for orders placed outside of the Continental United States:
Please be advised we may be unable to fill every International Purchase Request due to
the specific policies of the country where the order originates. International Purchase Requests
are reviewed on a case-by-case basis for shipping costs and other requirements. If for
example there are limited shipping options, tax collection, documentation or other
requirements we are not setup to provide, we will notify you via e-mail.
For International orders, shipping charges are not calculated at checkout. Once
shipping costs and any country specific requirements have been reviewed, you will
receive an email from Riverview Hobbies within 2 to 3 business days with information
regarding your order. If both parties agree to continue with the processing of the
order, we will send you a confirming email with the actual shipping charges for your
approval. Once we receive the email back from you with your approval, your order
will be processed and shipped.
Please note these charges will not include taxes, duties or brokerage fees related to

in multiple shipments, the shipment notice email will be broken down by items
previously shipped, items in the current shipment and items not yet shipped.
The tracking number in each notification email will be for the items currently being shipped.
