🚚 Shipping & Production Policy

Last Updated: August 21, 2026

Korean Car Collective offers several different types of products, including items produced in-house, custom wheels, made-to-order aftermarket automotive parts, and DAIMON pre-order products manufactured in South Korea.

Shipping and fulfillment methods vary by product category.

Please review the applicable section below before placing your order.

IMPORTANT: Most general aftermarket products sold by KCC include standard shipping within the advertised product price when the listing displays Free Shipping.

DAIMON products are different. DAIMON pre-order prices DO NOT include export packaging, international freight, customs-related charges, or final delivery. These costs are calculated separately after the initial pre-order is placed.


🇰🇷 DAIMON Pre-Order Products

Made-to-Order • South Korea • Shipping Calculated Separately

DAIMON products are premium, made-to-order automotive components manufactured in South Korea and offered through Korean Car Collective as part of our official North American partnership.

DAIMON PRODUCT PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING

The advertised price of a DAIMON product represents the KCC retail product price only.

The advertised product price does not include applicable:

  • Export packaging
  • International freight
  • Customs-related charges
  • Freight handling
  • Final delivery to the customer

These costs cannot always be determined before an order is placed because international freight pricing depends on factors including the customer's destination, product dimensions, shipping method, and the number of KCC customer orders that can be consolidated into the same international shipment.

How DAIMON Shipping Works

1. Place Your Pre-Order

The customer purchases the DAIMON product through the KCC website at the advertised pre-order price.

No DAIMON product enters production simply because the initial pre-order payment has been placed.

2. Shipping Is Calculated

KCC provides the applicable order and destination information so that export packaging, international freight, customs-related charges, and final delivery costs can be calculated.

Whenever possible, multiple KCC customer orders may be consolidated into larger international freight shipments to help reduce the shipping cost per product.

3. Receive Your Shipping Invoice

Once the applicable shipping costs have been determined, KCC will send the customer a separate shipping invoice.

The customer will have 48 hours from the time the invoice is issued to review and pay the quoted shipping amount.

4. Approve Shipping & Begin Production

Payment of the shipping invoice confirms that the customer accepts the calculated shipping cost and authorizes KCC and DAIMON to proceed with production.

Once the shipping invoice has been paid and production has been authorized, the order becomes final and non-refundable according to our Return & Refund Policy.

5. Declining the Shipping Quote

If the customer decides that the calculated shipping cost is too high, they are not required to proceed.

Production will not begin and the customer's initial DAIMON pre-order payment will be refunded in full.

If the customer does not pay the shipping invoice within 48 hours, the shipping quote will be considered declined, the pre-order will be canceled, and the initial pre-order payment will be refunded.


DAIMON Consolidated Freight

During the initial stages of DAIMON's North American distribution through KCC, multiple customer orders may be consolidated whenever practical.

When sufficient order volume exists, DAIMON and KCC may utilize larger consolidated freight shipments, including container shipping, to reduce the international freight cost allocated to individual products.

If order volume is not sufficient for consolidated container shipping, alternative international shipping methods may be evaluated.

Because the most efficient shipping method depends partly on actual customer order volume, DAIMON shipping costs are quoted separately rather than being included in the advertised product price.


DAIMON Production & Tracking

Once the customer accepts and pays the shipping invoice, the order is authorized for production.

DAIMON products are made to order, and production times may vary depending on the individual product and current manufacturing schedule.

Once production has been completed, KCC will provide available updates as the product proceeds through:

Quality Inspection → Export Packaging → Freight Preparation/Consolidation → International Shipping → Customs Processing → Final Delivery

Tracking information will be provided once customer-level tracking becomes available from the applicable freight or delivery provider.

Due to the nature of consolidated international freight, there may be portions of the shipping process during which individual tracking information is limited or not yet available.

Customers may contact KCC at any time during the process for available order updates.


🌎 General Aftermarket Exterior Parts & Accessories

Made-to-Order / Internationally Fulfilled • Shipping Included Unless Otherwise Stated

KCC offers aftermarket automotive components manufactured and fulfilled through our trusted partners in South Korea, China, and other international markets.

These products may include:

  • Carbon fiber components
  • Carbon fiber fenders
  • Plastic front lips and splitters
  • Side skirts
  • Rear diffusers
  • Spoilers
  • Exterior trim
  • Engine-bay accessories
  • Other aftermarket automotive components

Free Shipping

When one of these product listings displays Free Shipping, standard shipping to the applicable destination is already incorporated into the advertised KCC retail price.

Customers will not receive a separate international freight invoice for these products unless the product page specifically states otherwise.

This is an important distinction between general KCC aftermarket products and DAIMON pre-order products, which follow the separate freight process described above.

Estimated Delivery: Approximately 3–8 Weeks

Most general internationally fulfilled aftermarket products require approximately 3–8 weeks from order to delivery.

However, because some products are manufactured specifically for the customer and shipped internationally, KCC recommends allowing up to approximately 2–3 months for fulfillment when indicated on the individual product page.

Production and shipping estimates are not guaranteed delivery dates.


General Aftermarket Product Tracking

Once production or supplier processing has been completed and the product has entered the applicable shipping network, KCC will provide tracking information when available.

Customers may contact KCC during the production or fulfillment process for available order updates.


🛞 Custom Wheels

Custom Designed • Made-to-Order

Every KCC custom wheel order is individually designed and manufactured according to the customer's approved specifications.

Design & Production Process

The process begins with a non-refundable design/rendering fee.

KCC will work with the customer to establish the wheel design and applicable specifications before manufacturing.

If the customer proceeds with purchasing the wheels, the design fee is credited toward the total purchase price.

Once the final design and specifications have been approved, KCC will send the customer an invoice for the remaining wheel balance.

Payment of the final invoice authorizes production to begin.

Once production begins, the custom wheel order becomes non-refundable according to our Return & Refund Policy.

Estimated Delivery: Approximately 2–5 Months

Custom wheel manufacturing and international fulfillment may require approximately 2–5 months, depending on design complexity, manufacturing schedules, international shipping, and other logistical factors.

Customers will receive available updates throughout the manufacturing and shipping process whenever significant milestones become available.

Tracking information will be provided once available.


🏁 Standard KCC Decals & Stickers

Produced In-House

Standard Korean Car Collective decals and stickers are designed, produced, packaged, and fulfilled directly by KCC.

Typical Fulfillment: Approximately 24 Hours

Most standard decal and sticker orders are prepared for shipment within approximately 24 hours of purchase.

Actual carrier delivery time begins after the package has been transferred to the applicable shipping provider.

Orders placed during weekends, holidays, periods of unusually high order volume, or circumstances outside KCC's control may require additional processing time.

Tracking information will be provided when applicable to the selected shipping method.


👕 KCC Apparel

Produced In-House

Applicable KCC vinyl apparel is produced and fulfilled directly by Korean Car Collective.

Typical Fulfillment: Approximately 24 Hours

Most standard apparel orders are prepared for shipment within approximately 24 hours of purchase.

Custom or personalized apparel may require additional design or production time.

Carrier delivery times begin after the completed product has been transferred to the applicable shipping provider.


🎨 Custom Decals, Vinyl & Body Panel Graphics

Designed & Produced Specifically for Your Project

Custom decals, personalized vinyl, banners, body panel graphics, and similar products require customer consultation before production.

Before an applicable custom order is finalized, KCC may discuss:

  • Design
  • Dimensions
  • Material
  • Color
  • Vehicle application
  • Placement
  • Production requirements
  • Pricing

Production timelines vary depending on the complexity and size of the project.

Simple custom decals may be completed relatively quickly, while large or highly detailed body-panel graphics may require additional design and production time.

The applicable timeframe will be discussed with the customer as part of the custom-order process whenever possible.


📦 International Shipping & Delivery Estimates

Many KCC automotive products are manufactured internationally.

Production and delivery estimates shown on our website represent good-faith estimates and are not guaranteed delivery dates.

International orders may occasionally experience delays resulting from circumstances including:

  • Manufacturing schedules
  • Material availability
  • Quality-control procedures
  • International freight schedules
  • Customs processing
  • Port congestion
  • Carrier delays
  • Weather
  • Holidays
  • Government inspections
  • Supplier delays
  • Other circumstances outside KCC's reasonable control

A delay does not automatically qualify an otherwise final or made-to-order product for cancellation or refund.

KCC will provide available information and assist customers with legitimate shipping concerns.


📦 Delivery & Package Inspection

Customers purchasing carbon fiber, plastic, composite, or other exterior automotive products should inspect their shipment immediately upon delivery.

If damage is discovered, please contact KCC within 48 hours of confirmed delivery and retain all packaging.

Customers should photograph:

  • The complete product
  • The damaged area
  • Exterior packaging
  • Interior packaging
  • Shipping label
  • Any visible damage to the box or crate

DO NOT DISCARD DAMAGED SHIPPING PACKAGING

If shipping damage is suspected, customers should not discard the original box, crate, labels, protective materials, or packaging until KCC confirms that the claim has been resolved.

These materials may be necessary to process a carrier claim, replacement, exchange, inspection, or return.

Claims submitted after the initial 48-hour reporting period may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Please review our Return & Refund Policy for complete damage-claim requirements.


📍 Customer Shipping Information

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address and applicable contact information when placing an order.

Please review your:

  • Recipient name
  • Street address
  • Apartment or unit number
  • City
  • State/province
  • Postal or ZIP code
  • Country
  • Phone number and email address, where applicable

If you notice an error after placing your order, contact KCC immediately.

Once an order has entered production, international fulfillment, or the shipping network, KCC may not be able to change its destination.

Additional costs resulting from incorrect customer-provided shipping information, refused delivery, failed delivery, or address changes after shipment may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by applicable law.


🤝 Questions About Shipping

We understand that purchasing made-to-order automotive products internationally is different from purchasing ordinary domestic merchandise.

If you are unsure about the shipping method, production timeline, DAIMON preorder process, or expected fulfillment of a particular product, please contact Korean Car Collective before purchasing.

We're happy to explain the applicable process before you place your order.
