      Purchased a wood bat from ******** and after using less than a month it broke. Thinking it was just an unlucky chance it broke I purchased the same bat a second time. Within a month of using this one also broke, I wrote to the company they sent me a replacement within five at bat with the new bat it broke again I asked for a refund they refuse to give me one without purchasing a warranty.

      Good Afternoon,  Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we are very sorry for the inconvenience on this customer's purchase. Unfortuantely, wood baseball bats do break and are usually not covered under a manufacturer's warranty due to the fact that they can break when hit in certain areas of the bat such as anywhere other than on the sweet spot of the barrel. We offer a supplemental warranty if the customer would like to protect the purchase for 30 days. Going forward, we would recomment the customer choose a wood bat that comes with a manufactuers warranty or investing in a supplemental warranty to protect the purchase for up to 30 days. I am forwarding this to our Customer Experience Supervisor and she will be in touch to resolve this issue directly with the customer by providing a replacement.  Thanks!

      I ordered a baseball glove from JustGloves (an online retailer). They shipped the glove via ***. The tracking information listed the item as delivered (left on porch) on 1/3 at 6:48 pm. No package was found on or near my porch. Video footage from my ring doorbell shows no activity on that date from 12:49 pm to 9:51 pm. I contacted the retailer on 1/5 to alert them that I had not received the item. They offered to initiate a claim with ****. *** denied the claim the next day citing proof of delivery yet provided no proof to me. The retailer now says that is all they can do and refuse to provide a refund or send another glove.

      The customer ordered a ******** *** ***** *** ***** Baseball Bat: ********* for $349.95 and ordered Bat Assurance for $29.95. The customer then returned a completely different bat asking for a full refund. The bat received back was a ******** ******** ********* Softball Bat. We emailed the customer on 08/19/2022 advising that we did not receive the correct bat back and need to get the right item back to issue a refund. We also called the customer on 08/22/22 and the call was connected but when stating the reason for the call and who we were trying to reach, the receiver on the other end of the phone hung up. Again, on 08/24/22, we sent the customer another email advising that we received back the improper bat. On 08/26/2022 the customer issued a chargeback through their credit card company. 

       

      Thank you!
