YESDINO’s refund policy puts customers in control, letting you return most items that don’t meet expectations and receive your money back within a set period. If a product arrives damaged, is not as described, or simply doesn’t work for your project, you can ask for a return and refund without navigating a maze of paperwork.
Who Can Request a Refund?
Any buyer who purchased a direct‑sale item from YESDINO’s online store is eligible, provided the request falls inside the allowed return window and meets the condition criteria. This includes:
- Full‑price purchases of animatronic kits, spare parts, and accessories.
- Standard orders placed within the last 30 days of delivery.
- Items that have not been altered, disassembled, or used beyond basic testing.

Step‑by‑Step Process
- Initiate the request
- Log into your account and open the “Order History” page.
- Click the “Return/Refund” button next to the relevant order.
- Select a reason from the drop‑down menu and upload up to three clear photos of the issue.
- Wait for verification
- A support agent will review your submission, usually within one business day.
- You’ll receive an email with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and return shipping instructions.
- Ship the item back
- Use the prepaid label provided (available for domestic returns).
- Ensure the product is packed securely to avoid further damage during transit.
- Receive your refund
- Once the returned item arrives at our fulfillment center, a final inspection is performed.
- If everything checks out, the refund amount (minus any restocking fee) is sent to the original payment method.
Exceptions & Special Cases
While the policy covers most scenarios, there are a few situations where a refund may be limited:
- Custom‑built animatronics – By nature, these are tailored to specific designs and cannot be resold, so they fall outside the standard return window.
- Consumables – Items such as adhesives, lubricants, or batteries that have been opened or partially used are non‑returnable.
- Late requests – Requests filed after the 30‑day window for damaged goods or 14‑day window for change‑of‑mind will be evaluated on a case‑by‑case basis, but generally not guaranteed.
