  Return Shipping Information for Installation Services

When you choose Dragon's Hoard Gaming for your console installation services, we offer convenient and reliable return shipping exclusively via USPS Priority Mail. This method allows us to streamline our shipping process as USPS picks up packages directly from our shop daily, saving both time and resources.

Shipping Cost and Overages: The shipping fee you pay at checkout is an estimate. This approach allows us to ensure that the shipping costs are covered without overcharging you. Should there be any overages (where the actual shipping cost is less than what you were charged), we will refund the difference once your console is dispatched.

Shipping Insurance: We strongly encourage you to purchase additional shipping insurance at the time of checkout. This insurance should cover the full replacement value of your console. While we ensure that every console is securely packaged and handled with the utmost care, obtaining insurance provides an extra layer of protection against unforeseen events during transit, for which we cannot be held liable.

Liability Disclaimer: Please note that while every effort is made to ensure the safe return of your cherished console after refurbishing or modification, we cannot be held liable for any damages that may occur during shipping. To safeguard your investment, we highly recommend obtaining insurance for the full replacement value of the unit when shipping it back to you. This added precaution provides peace of mind and ensures that your beloved console is protected throughout its journey.

For any questions about shipping, insurance options, or to adjust your shipping insurance coverage, please contact us before your console is shipped. Our goal is to make your service experience as secure and satisfying as possible.

Standard Installation Service Warranty

All of our installation services come with a 1 yr warranty. This warranty is designed to cover the quality of our installation work for a period of one year from the date of service.

Shipping for Warranty Service:

• As with our Full Service warranty, you will be responsible for the shipping costs to send your console to us for any warranty service under this standard warranty. We take care of the shipping back to you after addressing the warranty issue.

Scope of Warranty:

• This warranty is specifically limited to the installation of mod kits and does not extend to any other aspects of the console or additional modifications not performed by us. It is designed to ensure that the installation service you receive meets our high standards of quality and reliability.

This warranty covers any issues that may arise with the components we have directly replaced or serviced as part of our comprehensive service package.

Warranty Coverage:

  Warranty Exclusions

Our warranty aims to ensure your peace of mind by covering the workmanship and components we replace or service. However, it's important to note the limitations of this coverage:

• Mod Kits: We do not provide warranties for mod kits supplied by customers. Should a mod kit fail due to our installation, we commit to repairing it or replacing it if possible. This is the only circumstance under which mod kits are covered by our warranty.
• External Damage: The warranty does not cover damages resulting from external causes such as accidents, abuse, misuse, or unauthorized modifications made after our service.
• Inherent Defects: We cannot cover inherent defects in parts of the console that were not replaced or serviced by us during the full service. Our warranty only extends to the parts and components that we have directly serviced or replaced.
