I find it strange that people buy something from a website with almost too good to be true prices, then after the purchase they research the company. Before handing over my hard earned coin I'd do the research first. You still might get burnt but at least it wasn't a total hail mary!
Good luck getting your bat, hope it works out for you.

Did it arrive?

[TIAANB12]

They emailed me on Sunday and said that they are very sorry
about the long wait.They said that the bat will finally arrive this week
if not, they said I should them call then.

[TIAANB12]

But I'm still happy.They respond very quickly upon my emails.I really don't care when
the bat would arrive. If it arrives  it would be a huge bargain, so it's worth the wait!!

The money saved on the bat will cover the cost of the phone bill keep chasing the delivery!

I don't think I would be happy waiting for this long. Also I would be very worried that I am getting story after story. There should be a tracking number and physical proof of the order being posted. I just think there are stringing you along so far.

I bet it's stuck in Japanese customs along with a load of SAF bats...

[WalkingWicket37]

That's nearly a month from order to (non) delivery and counting now.

Looking at the site I can't help but notice they stock Puma and Spartan. This always gets me wondering (just search cricket bat stickers on eBay if you're unsure why). I hope it works out for you, but if it was me I'd be starting to think I'd been conned.

I'd be tempted to try a PayPal claim now, as from an outside point of view it looks like a lot of stories and not much service.
Has there a working tracking number sent yet? Have you got the name of an actual person accountable for your order? If no to either of these I'd start the ball rolling on a refund...

[TIAANB12]

Yes I have a tracking number and it actually works. I really believe that the
bat will come.They answer every message very quickly and they keep me updated
with everything. I would let you guys know when it arrives and if it is the real deal!!

I asked a relative as she lives in Singapore and she says that they sell genuine bats and a few people who play cricket there buy from them

Eventho i am from asian country, i never buy from an asian based website, might wanna have a look at this singapore website since topgun gave a positive feedback.

+1 It'd be good to have a database of trusted and reliable online retailers.

Try our sponsors....

[petehosk]

It would be good - but the problem is that one persons experience of an Asian based company may be very different from other peoples experience - you only need look at Amazon reviews to know that even when most give 5 star reviews, there will always be a few that give 1 star due to a bad experience, or a disagreement!! Therefore it is not something that we could really consider on here....you will just have to put up with the mixed reviews and feedback from the forum. Remember that if you had a bad experience from an Asian retailer, they would not have to answer to us, and they would have little to loose from a bad review on here!
Whereas the sponsors on this forum abide by certain guidelines and know that what they offer on here is a superb service, which is why we recommend using them! And this is why we do not really recommend the Asian based companies, as we have no direct dialog with them.

And this is why we do not really recommend the Asian based companies, as we have no direct dialog with them.

Occasionally the 'owner' of one of the Asian companies will pop up on here, ask everyone to justify telling people "if it looks too good to be true, steer clear" and will then disappear never to be heard from again.
