Title: Are DKP reputable?
Post by: Straight Bat Shot on January 25, 2021, 06:00:55 PM

Hi All,
Just a quick one - sorry if this been posted in the wrong area.

Looking to purchase a SS bat, communication has been brilliant, photos on website look amazing & also owner sent me a video of specs and ping test.

Just wondering if anyone know if DKP actually buys there bats from SS directly, or had an bad experiences with them?

A bit apprehensive, first time buying Asian bat - and the amount of SS stickers on eBay.. putting 2 and 2 together.

Thanks in advance

Haven't bought from them but I've only heard positive things about their customer service and no reason to believe they are anything other than totally legitimate.

I'm sure others may have more experience with them and can comment more but I bought a BAS from them recently. Initially I was a bit annoyed that they didn't send me the same bat that I had requested but the one that did arrive certainly is a very good bat indeed. Will post up some pics when I get around to it.

Asian kit, sometimes can be grey market kit, i.e. Bats and kit imported from India, rather than kit bought through the usual channels.
They are prompt with the processing of their orders though in my experience.

Please don't shoot me down for complimenting DKP like last time but I've always had good service...

None of the bats are fake (or from what I've received so far) and they are as good as anything out there.

I would recommend trying a DKP own brand bat as the prices are very competitive, the performance is up there with the very best and they are apparently UK made??

One downside I will mention is you do tend to get maybe 2-3ozs more than requested in dead weight but they do pick up well.

Make of that what you want but yeah good service and not fakes :D

I have only had one experience with DKP, but he delivered promptly and when I sent it back due to sizing, the item was refunded without an issue.

Had a fair few dealings with Nick and I’ve had no issues what so ever, softs are top notch and their DKP bats are belters. I think he may be similar to eclipse all sports with regards to the Asian market bats or I might be wrong
