Shipping your order:

All shipping charges that you find in your "Shopping Basket" are charges for standard ground shipments within the 48 continental United States. After you place an order with us the standard delivery time for you to receive that order is 7 to 10 business days (not including Saturday and Sunday) depending on current stock levels and your location. We use UPS as our primary shipper. Unfortunately, they do not deliver to APO, FPO or PO Box #'s. We can always ship to these locations, but we will need to get specific instructions and shipping charges for you. If you would like to have an order shipped via Air or Parcel Post, or to ship outside the continental U.S., please place your order by phone with our ordering department at 1-800-543-8208 so they can give you the exact shipping charges.

Price Match Guarantee!! :

If you find a lower delivered price on the same "brand new" current model item we carry, we will match the delivered price. Please keep in mind in order to match the price, we must be able to verify delivered price and it must be from a Authorized dealer or retailer. If you live in Ohio we must charge sales tax on your order, so in some rare cases we may not be able to match a delivered price to an Ohio address or an address outside the contiguous 48 states. We will ship the merchandise by the least expensive shipping method of our choice. Because of the lower margins, a price matched order will only available for in store credit, sorry no refunds. If the price match is on a special order item, there will be no return privileges.

Questions about existing orders:

If you ever have a question about an order that you have placed with us, or a problem with an order you have already received from us, please contact our customer service department immediately so we can address it at 1-800-543-6321, or you can send information through the contact us section of this website. Always be sure to let Customer Service know your order was placed on the Internet. If you decide to send the information online, please keep in mind that we may not get to them before the order ships. In this case you can return or exchange the item based on the policies below.

Basic Return Policies and Procedures:

Please follow these procedures to avoid any complications with your returns:

All returns must be received here for processing within 30 days of when you received it.

Make sure that returned merchandise is placed in a shipping carton so that the actual product packaging is not damaged, labeled or marked on. For example: do not affix a shipping label directly on a helmet box. Put the helmet box inside another box with sufficient packaging and affix all labels to that box. Items shipped back without proper protection will not be accepted.

Merchandise should be well packaged with all tags and labels intact. We recommend insuring your return shipments against loss or damage.
If you need to return/exchange an item: We understand that occasionally items must be exchanged and in some cases just returned.

We will refund or exchange most returned merchandise (other than Special Buys, Special orders, Closeouts, Opened Exhausts, Opened Electrical parts or a Mounted part ) which is unused, never installed, and without damage to product or manufacturer’s original packaging, within 14 days of the date you received it. ( we can only issue a refund to the original method of payment or as a system credit )
Exchanges: all merchandise (excluding all special orders, some closeouts, Opened Exhausts, Opened Electrical or Mounted products ) that is unused, never installed, and without damage to the manufacturer’s original packaging, for merchandise of equal or greater value within 30 days of the date you received it. Any unused or leftover credit will be applied to your customer account with us and will be valid for use within one year. Any balance due or shipping fees from merchandise exchanges will be charged to the original order’s credit card unless you include another payment method.

The exchange reshipment fee for all orders is only $6.00, which covers standard ground delivery. (Tires, large windshields, heavy and oversized items cost $10 to $20 each for reshipment)
Refunds: will be charged up a 5% fee (minimum $10/item) to cover the outbound shipping cost, handling the product and charging/crediting the credit card. Tires will be charged a 15% restocking fee ( minimum $20 ) to help cover the excessive shipping and handling involved in processing the order. Exhausts can only be returned if they are for store credit only. ( we strongly recommend you exchange or take a store credit for a future order ). Returns after 30 days may be subject to restocking fees.

In most cases we can not accept any merchandise for a refund or exchange more than 30 days after the date you received it unless you have a RMA from our Customer Service Department. All merchandise must be unused, never installed, or without damage to product or manufacturer’s original packaging.

Unfortunately, we can no longer accept returns on any opened electrical parts or special order items.

Special Buy items may be returned for refund, store credit or size exchange.

Closeouts are able to be returned for store credit or size exchange only.

Special order items cannot be cancelled, exchanged or refunded once the order is placed.

Any merchandise returned for a warranty claim is subject to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Most manufacturers request that consumers send claims directly to them. If you think you have a claim please call the manufacturer first and if they cannot help, please call Customer Service for instructions and authorization. Warranty items will not be refunded.

We are not responsible for original or return shipping charges should you choose to return or exchange any item. This includes size exchanges and defective items. We do not accept packages when the shipping charges are billed to us or delivered C.O.D.

If we send a "Return Label" for any reason and the product was not either defective or damaged, the customer will either have the original merchandise returned, or receive a Credit-slip for the price the customer paid for the merchandise, less the cost of the "Return Label". Once the credit-slip is in the system, the customer can exchange for another item using the normal exchange procedures.

Damaged or Lost Packages: We must start a claim with the carrier for the package. Once the carrier has confirmed the problem (generally 3-8 business days), we will reship the lost or damaged merchandise at no additional cost to the customer. If the product is no longer available, we will issue a system credit on your account for use on a future order only.

Permission to return/exchange/refund a product is not final till we have inspected the items. All returns are subject to a thorough inspection and final approval by our returns manager.

Please Send all Standard Non-Warranty returns to:

Competition Accessories Returns 345 West Leffel Lane, Springfield, Ohio 45506

Pre-Paid "Free" Size Exchange Program:
On new Arai helmets we offer "one" free "size exchange" at no cost to you. We will either send you a prepaid label for return shipping or you can elect a $10 credit on your Comp-A® account to cover your return freight cost, plus we will exchange your returned item for another size of the same item Free (no cost). It is that simple. If you need another size exchange, the normal exchange policies will apply. In the event you decide to return the item after using the free exchange program we will deduct $25 to cover the shipping costs and the balance will be on your Comp-A® Account as a credit for future use. If you choose a refund instead of a in Compacc Account credit, the standard refund policies will also apply.
