Just to make sure potential buyers are aware of all the potential pitfalls before engaging with this sort of 'retailer'

I have had about 5 bats off them now and not had any problems. Noted re the returns but there are companies in this country who are awful on returns

That's a fair price but can't really figure why you'd order a bat from India when you have such amazing retailers & custom bat makers there in the UK. I mean no risk involved, after sale service is good & to your own specs too.
Guess 1 reason drawing you to the purchase would be difference TON RRP there & cricmart's selling price.
But hey, brilliant bat that. Sure is a looker.

Indeed! To be fair the bats look great on the surface and some of the grains look fantastic! BUT I always think twice as need to consider the returns, customs, the performance, how it taps up, the customer service, etc, blah de blah!
Plus some of the bats that Jake, Asad, and others have on the forum are seriously awesome! And a lot easier to sort out in the unlikely event that it turns out to be a plank or breaks, or if it just feels wrong!
Just my view but maybe I just play too safe!

Agreed but I have never had a bad one off them yet and they have all been guns. Why pay what you have to over here to get a bat like that?

Not knocking the bats, particularly the TON ones, that shape is very similar to the new Vision in the UK range.

Just have to be aware of the potential pitfalls, £270 is pretty scary with no warranty.

This at £280 is just an example that we are not worlds apart on pricing. On sale admittedly.

Agreed it is a personal thing buying bats, and I do understand where you are coming from. I know a lot of people who import laver bats at high prices. Why do they go there? For the quality of the finished product. Once I get the bats I will post some more pictures .
