Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most about orders, shipping, returns and pre-orders. Click a question to open its answer.

Orders

Can I order without creating an account?

Yes. Membership is optional; every right you have applies in full to an order placed as a guest. If you do sign up, you can see your orders from any device on the My orders page of your account.

What is included in the prices?

Prices are in Turkish lira and include taxes. If there is a shipping charge, it appears on a separate line in the cart and on the checkout page; the grand total you see before you confirm is the full amount you will pay.

How can I find out the status of my order?

Just write to hello@nerd-wiz.com with your order number. If you are a member, you can also see your orders on the My orders page of your account.

Shipping and delivery

How much is shipping?

Shipping costs ₺99. Orders of ₺1,500 or more ship free. You see the shipping charge you will pay in the cart summary before you confirm your order.

When will my order be shipped?

Games in stock are handed to the carrier on the day the order is placed. For pre-order games the delivery time depends on production and is stated on the campaign page.

How long does delivery take?

Once shipped, delivery usually takes 2-5 days. This is an estimate, not a commitment: busy periods, public holidays and the distance of your address can make it longer. The legal maximum is 30 days; if it is exceeded, you can cancel your order and get back the full amount you paid.

Which carrier do you use?

Parcels are carried by Yurtiçi Kargo or Aras Kargo.

How do I get my tracking number?

Once your parcel has been handed to the carrier, you can ask for the tracking details by writing to hello@nerd-wiz.com with your order number.

Do you ship abroad?

At the moment we deliver only to addresses within Türkiye.

What should I do if the parcel arrives damaged?

Check the outside of the parcel before you accept it. If the box is crushed, torn, opened or wet, have the courier write up a damage report before you accept it, then write to us. Your legal rights remain valid even if no report was written up.

Returns and right of withdrawal

Can I return an item if I change my mind?

Yes. You can withdraw without giving a reason within 14 days of the day you receive the product; you can also withdraw before it reaches you. Just write to hello@nerd-wiz.com with your order number. The details are in the returns and right of withdrawal page.

I have opened the box. Can I still return it?

Yes. Opening the box does not cancel your right of withdrawal; send the product back with its box and all of its components. Changes that cannot be undone, such as applying stickers, painting figures or losing components, may lead to a deduction from the refund.

Who pays for return shipping?

When you use your right of withdrawal, you are not charged for sending the item back. Our reply to your notice tells you which address and which carrier to use. If you return the whole order, the shipping charge you paid is refunded as well.

When will I get my money back?

We refund the card you paid with no later than 14 days after your withdrawal notice reaches us; how soon it shows on your statement depends on your bank. You need to send the product back within 10 days of your notice.

A component is missing or damaged. What should I do?

You do not need to send the whole box back. Tell us about the missing or damaged component at hello@nerd-wiz.com, with your order number and a photo if possible, and we will complete it. For a defective product the shipping cost is ours; you can apply within two years of delivery.

Pre-orders and Game of Crowds

What is Game of Crowds?

Game of Crowds is the name of our pre-order campaigns. We open a campaign for the Turkish edition of a game and you pay now for a specific boxed game. If the target is reached, the game goes into production and is sent to you.

What happens if a campaign does not reach its target?

The full amount you paid, including any shipping charge, is refunded without deductions using the method you paid with. You do not need to apply; the refund starts automatically.

Can I cancel my pre-order?

Yes. While the campaign is running you can cancel your order by writing to us and get back the full amount you paid. Your 14-day right of withdrawal also applies after the game is delivered to you.

When will the game I pre-ordered arrive?

The delivery time depends on production. The estimated delivery period is stated on the campaign page and in the information you see before ordering; you can follow which stage the game is at on the Release Calendar page. If the date changes, we will tell you in writing; if you do not want to wait, you can cancel your order and get back the full amount you paid.

What exactly am I buying when I pre-order?

A specific boxed board game. Your payment is the price of a product; it carries no ownership stake, no share of revenue and no promise of any return.

Membership and account

Do I have to receive announcement emails?

No. Membership has a separate, optional box for announcement emails; you can sign up and order without ticking it. You can withdraw your permission whenever you like.

Why don't my favourites show up on my other device?

Favourites are saved in the browser you use, not in your account; they do not appear on another device or after you clear your browser data.

General

Are your games in Turkish?

Yes. The games sold at NERDWIZ are board games printed entirely in Turkish.

How can I contact you?

You can write to hello@nerd-wiz.com; our phone number is on the Contact page. There is no live chat or contact form on the site.
