I'm inclined to disagree. Had these been GN or Kook stickers we would all be kicking off and saying how dare the big brands let their standards slip like this etc etc. We go to the small brands because quality is the one thing we can expect from them. I'm hoping this represents a small bad batch and isn't the norm.

I'm inclined to disagree with your disagreement Jon!!

It's precisely because they are small company's that they don't have the marketing budget to apply to developing the expensive best quality stickers. They can't buy the volume to justify it.

Where's your other thread gone - they whipped that off quick didn't they? I was just about to be rude to you!

That's prob why they removed it as alot of people were planning that

I agree that Craig is just starting out and for the price people pay can't expect perfection

Im sure it was a learning curve for craig as it is for most companies that start out...iv got respect for anyone whos willing to give it a try rather than just talk about doing something!

This may explain why Craig's sticker supplier went bust....

Its a poor reflection of the sticker supplier rather than Craig.

Stickers for this job shouldn't have been produced un-laminated & they should've known that.

I think I need to explain the situation. As you probably know (as it has been mentioned above), I used a local company who guaranteed the quality etc, so I used them. After getting the stickers in October time, I applied that to the bats, used in indoor games with no issues. Since nets have started, I have used my own bat and found this, and I can only apologise to all people that have purchased a McLean Sports bat. I am now in the process of getting the stickers made by a more reknowned sticker company and everyone who has purchased a McLean bat will receive a set of brand new 2011 stickers in the post, free of charge (I will pay the carriage cost as well).

I hope my reputation has not been tinted by this and if you have any queries, please contact me and I can sort any issues!

Put it this way Craig, it wouldn't stop me buying a bat off you if I wanted. It's only a cosmetic issue that can be rectified in the way you have. Not like the bats are snapping in half

Think people will see it as part of the learning curve Tom referred to.

I appreciate your comments. Looking back, I should have had a bowling machine net with the new stickers, but receiving them in October and no cricket for 6 months, it was a no brainer. Anyway, new stickers have been ordered and I will be PM'ing the people who now own my bats to send replacement stickers.
