Did you knock the bat in?

Some pics might help people diagnose how bad they are

Would definitley take it back then mate as soon as you can and don't leave the shop until they sort you out.

Stick some pics up when you can

Send it back to Talent Cricket - who will inspect it and possibly return it to us (Mongoose Cricket Ltd)

If you can post photos of the bat I can advise the best course of action.

Thats pretty standard for most retailers tbh, they will usually give you store credit rather than a full refund
