Hi all,
So GM and to an extent GN and Kookaburra ranges for 2017 are out in the public domain, other brands will be out there before you know. If you have a product or products you would like to pre-order please get in contact, i am happy to discuss in private both brands that have officially launched and also brands that aren't quite out yet.
If you know what you want, please pm me or email jake@vitascricket.co.ukWe ask for a £50 deposit on bats, or 50% on other items. We are open to you paying off your items however you wish, be it small amounts on a regular basis until the balance is cleared, or one big balance payment once the items are ready for dispatch, up to you.
The most exciting part about this time of year is organising our visits to suppliers and batmakers to choose the bats/clefts for our stock, as well as any specific orders for customers. In the coming weeks/months we will be visiting GN, Salix, H4L, Kookaburra, B&S, TON, and when it comes to Focus we can arrange anything you like at any time as we are in control of the brand. We love going to visit these brands and choose our stock. We will do everything we can to meet your requests for pre-ordered bats, and in the case of H4L, Salix and Focus if nothing suitable is found we can of course arrange for something to be made.
New Balance and GM don't currently allow retailer visits but as discussed in various posts over the years, i don't feel this detracts from their offerings as a brand, GM in particular; they produce more bats in the UK than all the other brands combined, they definitely know what they are doing!
ANY PRE-ORDERS PAID ON OR BEFORE OCTOBER 3RD WILL QUALIFY FOR 10% OFF OUR NORMAL PRICING (TOO MANY PRODUCTS TO DISPLAY PRICING HERE, PLEASE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS) AS WELL AS FREE KNOCKING IN ON BATS AND FREE UK DELIVERY. YES WE ARE VAT REGISTERED AND WILL DO ALL I CAN TO FIND THE BEST OVERSEAS SHIPPING QUOTES FOR YOU. I appreciate some brands haven't even launched properly to the public yet, the smaller boutique brands particularly probably won't have any details out in the public domain before this cutoff date, I am willing to be a little more flexible with these brands regarding the pre-order dating, but for the big 3 this is a strict cutoff.
I will try to add photos or links to various ranges as they launch officially, see below.
