  3. We'll prioritize processing your new order and may offer expedited shipping once we receive your return

Warranty Claims

Many of our golf products come with manufacturer warranties. For warranty claims:

  • Contact us with your order number and description of the issue
  • We'll coordinate directly with the manufacturer on your behalf
  • Warranty terms vary by brand and product
  • International warranty coverage may vary by manufacturer

Lost or Stolen Packages

Once a package is marked as delivered by the carrier, we cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen packages. We recommend:

  • Tracking your shipment closely and being available for delivery
  • Requiring signature confirmation for high-value orders
  • Filing a claim with the shipping carrier if package is lost or damaged in transit

Customs, Duties and Taxes

International customers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, VAT, or other fees charged by their country's customs authority. These fees are non-refundable if you return an item for change of mind.

Shipping Times

Please note that international return shipping can take 2-4 weeks depending on your location and chosen shipping method. We appreciate your patience.
