      Status:
      Answered
      This original transaction was in September of 2023. This was for a softball bat in the ******* category that had an **** price of $299.95. The company provides a 1 year warranty on products for manufacturing defects. The bat broke on me in April 2024. I filed a claim with ******** in late May 2024. The bat was shipped to them for warranty claim testing to confirm the bat was not misused or used for a sport other than softball. The claim was validated in early June 2024 and at that time approved for the **** amount of $300. I have since then sent the company at least 20 emails and have contacted by phone numerous times to try and set up what I thought would be an order for a replacement bat. The bat I sent them for warranty is no longer in production. It has been well over a month and the company continues to use the excuse that "they have no USA/ASA bats in stock." I have requested certain models for update on when they might become avaliable just to be told "sorry, that bat has been discontinued and I need to request another. The only solution they have offered me is to settle on a bat that is about half the value of mine or a bat I already own and will not take care of this issue for me. I am now without a bat for my softball league and also out the money for the bat. I just want a replacement bat and I don't want one that's an older model or less value than the bat I purchased. I also asked if they could issue credit so I could purchase one of their bats from an online retailer, who mind you, has bats in stock that Demarini themselves offer, but don't have in stock. They said that was not an option. I'm super frustrated and they have offered no help at all to this point. Thank you for your time.

      We ordered a $430 custom glove for our son on 3/25/24. He spent $100 of his own birthday money for this glove that he designed with tie-dyed super snakeskin. It arrived in 4 weeks (process and shipping notifications were not up to date, communication was non existent). The glove arrived with some of the color pattern scratched/cracked leaving the white base showing through. After a handful of times playing catch and two practices, the color pattern continued to come off and looks terrible. We filed a warranty claim shortly after we received the glove, and were told its totally normal. As the appearance of the glove became worse and more color came off over the next 30 days, we reached out again with phone calls and emails. Again, we were told after consulting with the production team, these colors are accurate to the original design. They are correct, the tie-dye color pattern is accurate and its super cool. However, its the QUALITY OF THE PRODUCT that is the issue. Why is the coloring of the super snakeskin wearing off out of the box. Why is Wilson selling this expensive product if the color is wearing off immediately? I would love to submit photos of the product that Wilson seems to be perfectly fine selling. They are refusing to make this right for a 9 year old that loves baseball. He is so disappointed in his Wilson custom glove! Again, we are NOT complaining about the fit, style, or saying we don't like how his design turned out, we are SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE ***** PATTERN WEARING OFF IMMEDIATELY!
