Equipping athletes, clubs, and event organizers with top-quality outdoor game gear is our passion. When any item arrives less than perfectโdamaged in transit, missing components, or not matching the descriptionโyou deserve a fast, fair resolution. This policy spells out each stage of the returns and refunds process in clear, straightforward language. Weโve removed legal jargon and focused on actionable steps to get you back onto the field with minimal delay.
1. Reporting an Issue
Immediately upon discovering a problem with sporting equipmentโwhether itโs a punctured soccer net, a bent frame on a badminton kit, or missing stakes for a boundary tubeโcontact our Customer Care Team. Please provide:
- Order Number and Product Name(s)
- Brief Description of the defect or discrepancy
- High-Resolution Photos or a short video clip showing the issue
Timely, detailed reports help us diagnose and resolve problems quickly. Aim to include clear close-ups of any damage and a shot of the packing materials to illustrate transit conditions.
2. Obtaining a Return Authorization Code
Once your report is reviewedโtypically within 24 hoursโyou will receive a Return Authorization (RA) Code. This code is your unique identifier throughout the returns process. Do not ship any items until you have this code, as unapproved returns may be delayed or misdirected.
3. Preparing the Return Package
Proper packaging ensures safe transit back to our facility and speeds inspection. Follow these guidelines:
- Original Packaging Preferred
Whenever possible, repack the item in its original box, foam supports, and wrapping. - Alternate Packaging
If the original materials are unavailable, select a sturdy, corrugated box that leaves at least 5 cm of clearance on all sides when the product is inside. - Protect Fragile Components
Wrap any steel frames, telescoping poles, or plastic connectors in bubble wrap or foam sheets. Secure nets, straps, and ropes with zip ties or twist ties to prevent tangling. - Contain Small Parts
Place ground spikes, guy-rope hooks, pump nozzles, or repair patches in a sealed plastic bag and tape it to the side of the item. - Include Documentation
Insert a printed copy of your RA code and order summary within the package so our team can match it immediately upon receipt. - Label Clearly
Affix the RA code conspicuously on the outside of the box with clear packing tape to keep it legible in transit.
4. Selecting a Shipping Method
Choose a reliable carrier offering tracking and insurance for the full value of the returned goods. Return shipping costs are the customerโs responsibility, unless:
- We shipped an incorrect item.
- The product arrived damaged from the manufacturer or in transit.
In those cases, we will supply a prepaid shipping label. Always retain your shipping receipt and tracking number until the return is confirmed delivered.
5. Inspection Process
Upon arrival, each return is logged under its RA code and forwarded to our Quality Inspection Team. The process includes:
- Verification
Confirm the returned item matches your original order (model, size, color). - Physical Assessment
Check nets for tears, frames for bends or cracks, plastic or metal parts for wear or deformation, and textile components for fraying. - Component Audit
Ensure all included accessoriesโground anchors, pumps, repair kits, or carrying bagsโare present and intact. - Functional Testing
Assemble or inflate the equipment to verify mechanical and performance integrity (e.g., net tension, valve seals, locking mechanisms).
This thorough evaluation distinguishes manufacturer or transit defects from normal wear or misuse.
6. Resolution Options
Following inspection, you will be offered one of the following resolutions:
- Replacement Shipment
Receive an identical itemโquality-checked and ready to useโshipped to you at no extra cost. - Partial Replacement
If only a component (pump nozzle, repair patch, set of stakes) is defective or missing, we send that part alone. - Alternate Exchange
Choose a different model or size of equal value if your original item is out of stock. - Store Credit
Apply the refunded amount toward any future purchase of physical products within our outdoor sports collection.
When you first report the issue, stating your preferred solution helps expedite processing.
7. Special & Custom Items
Custom-printed or special-order productsโsuch as branded boundary tubes or bulk-printed sponsor bannersโare evaluated individually. Returns on these items consider the degree of customization. Consumable accessories (paint for line rollers, repair glue, etc.) qualify for exchange only if returned in unused, sealed packaging.
8. Communication & Follow-Up
You will receive email notifications at key milestones:
- RA Code Issued
- Return Received
- Inspection Complete
- Resolution Implemented (replacement shipped or credit issued)
For queries at any stage, reply with your RA code for swift, personalized assistance.
9. Tips for a Smooth Return
- Inspect Upon Arrival: Unpack and examine items immediately to spot issues while still within our support window.
- Document Everything: Photos and videos are invaluable, especially for demonstrating shipping damage or hidden defects.
- Keep Packaging: Original boxes, bags, and manuals not only protect the product but also prove authenticity for returns.
- Follow Instructions: Proper assembly and maintenance checks can rule out user-induced issues versus manufacturer defects.
10. Our Commitment
Our goal is to keep athletes, coaches, and event organizers equipped and ready to perform. By streamlining the returns process and offering flexible resolution options, we minimize downtime and maintain trust. Your experience matters: every return helps us refine our quality control and elevate our service standards.
