Ordering equipment online overseas from Asian based companies...
« on: August 15, 2015, 05:15:02 PM »
Hi All,
I am new to the forum and just wanted to ask a quick question :)
Has anybody had trouble not receiving their goods when ordering online from a Asian  based company online??
I ordered a Gray Nicolls Oblivion E41 LE Short Handle from a place called Sportsfunk for only £128 + shipping :o
However after I ordered I looked up for more information about them and found out that the company is based in Singapore ???
Now I am a bit worried that I will not receive my goods :(
I am not against any Asian based companies but the price seems to good to be true :o ;)

I was recently looking at the same company, and so would be interested to hear what everyone has to say.

Yeah I am really very curious about them but could be a great bargain if it all works out.I saw thet are selling Chase, Gray Nicolls and GM top of the range for £148.I have never heard of cricket shops in Singapore ???They are having a huge sale now.But I really don't know anything about them! .

This is also my very first time buying cricket bats online!!I saw that it would cost me less to buy online so I took this chance.The prices here in South Africa  for a good quality bat is outrageous, our local shop is the biggest retailer of all brands in the country and I can't afford any bats here anymore. :(

This looks weird. They are selling all of their bats with more than 50% off the normal price. i reckon that they might have been in the shelf for a long time and will probably be a plank. But i may be wrong.

Singapore you say?
May be a total coincidence, but don't cricmart.in have some connection to Singapore too?

 Firstly I thought that the company was based in India.
When I paid a email came through that thanked me for shopping at Milandu Sports Company ???
Don't know or never heard of Milandu Sports Company before??
That really made me curious and I did some research of them then found out that they are actually based in Singapore.
And I have never heard of an Asian company stocking Chase equipment before  :o

Could be a different Chase to the one your thinking of.
