There's nothing wrong with the products mate, you just can't guarantee you'll ever get what you ordered.

I've only ordered softs and they took 4 months to arrive (but they were a decent price and i'm currently using them)

G Cricket

Aren't these $425 at GC's (if you live near one of the shops) v $370 sight unseen?

The UK has got a great range of custom bats you might want to consider.

Cheers

Buying discounted softs from pro direct has never been an issue
With a bat it's gamble
You may get a decent bat but then you are not sure about what weight you will get
You can assume that all Gray Nicolls LE bats will be good :)

I've ordered soft and bats.

soft no issues.

the bat that arrived, no issue. weight is a lottery as is looks. but if your ordering a gn le. you are going to get a bat gn graded as l.e


the bat that didn't arrive said in an email it would come when stock was next in
 i phoned up and ask when this was. the said unknown. so i asked if a could cancel. they said yes.
problem solved.


the ones that have delivery issues in terms of months are ones that do not phone up for a status update and just leave it.

I'll argue about the not phoning up bit, I did and they genuinely didn't have the product for months! I was refunded the postage as compensation (every little helps)
All turned out fine in the end though.

Manage to get some great bargains from pro direct. Never had to wait for softs, always arrived within a day or two. Only once had to wait for a bat and that was when they did the GN scoop for £79.99 just after it was released. It came 1-2 months later.

if they don't get new stock for months and you want that item it will be month regardless.

but yours story wasn't my point.

someone on here claimed they and been waiting 8 months for gm gloves from pdc, i asked if they had contact them for update or order cancellation and they said no, as they couldnt be bothered.
which i found a tad strange.

And to add to that, I've never had any issues with returning goods. Usually refunded within a week.

Pdc in general adhere to UK distance selling rules, so aren't hard to deal with. Stock is far more regularly the problem.

I have three bats from them. No issues really and i live in Canada. Weights were fine too.

I think they have stopped offering the, i forgot it used to say, "available for dispatch later or backorder something".

Rather now it just says "Available for immediate dispatch" which i reckon they actually have bats in stock.

But beware custom fees outside of UK may be quite high!

Does anyone know what the LE is in Australian bats e.g 1000le or 750i or whatever?

Never, ever had a problem with pro direct cricket, running and football. Used them for years, always fast delivery, always email alerts.

ordered a puma pro 6000 from them, delivered within 3 days. No harm in calling to check stock...

I would say the English LE is the equivalent of the Australian 1000LE

In terms of the product itself, the bat certainly won't be hand-picked.  I know that doesn't matter to everyone on here, but when I have been to Gray-Nicolls, I have seen some LE bats that look worse than some 5 Stars, with blemishes and only 7 grains (not straight) etc. I suspect these are the types of bats that make their way to the PDC shelves, and the fact that they are discounting it so heavily suggests to me that they have struggled to shift it, which I feel further supports this view...
