Pre-Order T&Cs

Refunds and Cancellations

Our pre-order payment is a deposit to secure your kit at the stated discount. Once paid and orders are locked, we will start manufacturing your order with estimated delivery times in 12 weeks (standard) from the order lock date. As per our Swytch promise, if you change your mind after placing a pre-order you can cancel and refund your order at any time before delivery.

Once the kit has been delivered, your order is completed. You can still return the product in new condition for a refund within 14 days after delivery. Once an order has left its regional warehouse, refunds are given excluding the delivery fee and the fee to return the product. Unless the kit is refunded due to faulty parts.

This Pre-Order Price is a deposit that secures your order and is fully refundable at any time before delivery if you change your mind.

How do I pay the taxes and duties?

When your kit is finished and ready for delivery, we will invoice you for any taxes and duties, depending on your country. By dealing with this prior to final shipping, the Swytch Kit can be ‘delivered duty paid’ (DDP) which prevents hold-ups and admin charges at customs.

The estimated final total for your order, including any local taxes and duties due on delivery, can be found using the tax calculator provided on the order page.

The estimated taxes are calculated as follows and will be liable to be paid at the point of delivery:

United States

*Please note the actual sales tax charged will depend on the U.S. city/state

Canada
Australia
Rest of World

For all other countries, we will ship your kit via air freight. You will be required to pay duties and taxes to the courier, e.g. DHL, before delivery. They will pass the amounts on to your local country customs department.

When will I get the kit?
Accelerated Delivery

Accelerated delivery kits will be delivered in on the timeline indicated on the pre-order page.

Standard Delivery
We operate a “Made-To-Order” system meaning that we start manufacturing your kit after you have placed and confirmed your order. This allows us to bulk order parts for the entire production batch at a reduced price. We pass these cost savings on to customers in the form of a significant discount on the RRP for pre-orders.
We guarantee delivery of every kit, to countries listed worldwide. The estimated manufacturing time is 5-12 weeks from locking your order, depending on your geographical region.
What if there is a delay?

We have 4 years of experience now, manufacturing over 80,000 Swytch Kits. Delays are always a possibility but we try to keep them to a minimum and keep customers informed via website updates, emails and their personal order tracker. When ordering a pre-order product delivery timelines can be extended by circumstances outside of our control.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

Website Pre-Orders

You have the right to cancel a Pre-Order placed on our website at any time during the manufacturing process, and recieve a refund in the original purchase currency.

However we politely request that customers do not cancel their order once the order is “locked”, as this causes significant complications for our manufacturing and delivery pipeline.

Your order is “locked” after you have confirmed your exact order requirements in our Order Customisation portal (to which you will receive an invite after ordering). We urge customers to complete their order customisation within 14 days of ordering, at which point we begin to make your kit to order, to your exact requirements. If you cancel after this point we have to find another customer with the same requirements as you, which is sometimes easier said than done especially if you have configured an unusual combination (e.g. rare wheel size).

14 Day refund period: Once your order is delivered, you have 14 days to return for a refund, in the original purchase currency, as long as it has not been fitted or used, excluding two way delivery fees.
