Online stockist
« on: March 20, 2014, 11:33:07 PM »

Hey guys,

Curious about this site, their bats are seriously cheap so im just wondering are they 100% legit?

And if so are they good quality?

100% legit, yes. They source it directly from the manufacturer, and don't have to pay import charges or go through a middleman, so can charge less than retailers like the sponsors on here. I've only dealt with Ajit once, and that was indirectly, but he really did come up with the goods! http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=28959.0  The Sareen Sports bat I got from him is really very good, rivals my English and NZ made bats, some which cost me over double!

I know some others have had a poor buying experience with him, but he's not out there to con anyone. I'm sure some people will say how they've had pretty good experiences dealing with him too. Don't forget to factor in import tax on the goods, normally around 20% of the value stated on the package I think! If you use the search function, I'm sure you'll find some reviews on his service, both good and bad.

There's loads on this if you use the search function mate.

Bats are legit, but remember customs charges before you order. As for quality I can't comment having never ordered.

Bought from him, service may be slightly slow but the bats/items are authentic. He shows the pics of the bat before buying but I have heard of delayed delivery from few. My stuff arrived 1 week after the promised delivery date (13/14 days in total).

100% legit.

Over the last 5 years have ordered 3 bats, 2 sets of pads and many pairs of gloves.

All excellent and Ajit is a stand up guy!

You will be glad you did.

Hell the saga continues here my 2 pence

Customer services seem hit and miss.
Product and prices including the custom charges are very good.
Sizes can be hit and miss.
Overlooked by many because there not forum sponsors and in a forum where the sponsors do play a part but lets not get too blinkered

Chris there certainly is

It has been noted in the past that the owner has a large number of grandparents/parents... and they seem to be extremely unlucky with illness/injury/accident

I hope he has family cover included in his health insurance... otherwise he would be shelling out a fortune in all those hospital fees.

I know 1 Pakistani one - sialkotshop.com, decent service as well. Contacted them 1 (though didn't end up buying) they replied to all the emails and had pics of the bats available ready when asked.

Used online stockist 4 times.
Quality has always excellent. Delivery times have ranged from 1 week to 3 weeks. Never been charged by customs.
The SS LE I bought for about 150 quid including delivery is one of the best bats I have ever owned.
