Gutted :(
« on: May 07, 2011, 09:48:53 PM »

Handle on my redback went today, its all loose and wobbly! 2 net sessions and 2 matches, of which one i got not many so not much use, but then thats the nature of cricket bats i suppose, win some lose some, but not cool as its nearly new!! Such a shame just hope it'll be as great with its new handle as and when, annoying thing as its £20 down the drain and my last game before i go away without my bat :( :(

Ouch, luckily I've never had to find out how long it takes for a rehandle.

The best thing you can do is ring/email around explaining that you're leaving the country and need it done before that date.

I mean if the bats not under warranty you could also take it to your nearest bat repairer who could probably guarantee you it by the weekend as you woudlnt have to do the postage

any bat bought from a company should come with a 1 year warranty, including handle.

Not necessarily, it depends on each company as to what warranty they offer, just most cricket bat companies do offer  a 1year guarantee

Yeah 15 pounds is good value. The handle obviously isnt covered under warranty then by redback as if it was theres no way it would be out of warranty due to time.

problem may be that i didnt buy it direct....it's ok though as £15 is a decent price, foc would have obvs been better ;). We'll see what they say, gary may recognize that its not been used much at all!! however i fear the problem may be i didnt buy direct..
