This post is directed to those people that order from Hammer/Ebonite via a PBA discount. I am attempting to determine as to whether or not the issues I have encountered are common. I ordered a One Re-release, and an Emerald Vibe. My credit card was billed the day I ordered them. 2 weeks go by, and I haven't received either ball. I call up to check on the status of the order and was told that neither ball had shipped, that the Vibe was on backorder and they were going to ship them together. They then asked me if I wanted the One to ship, since it was in stock, and have the Vibe shipped when it was available. I said yes, and they told me the One would ship that day. Another week goes by, and I still have not received anything. So yesterday I contact Hammer again. They told me that nothing had shipped yet, even though the week before, I was told my One was shipping that day. I was told my One was shipping yesterday. I asked what is the ETA on the Vibe backorder being filled, and they did not have an answer. So on that order, one ball was in stock, and I have not received it after 3 weeks. Even if it actually does ship this time, it will be almost a month from the day I ordered it. The other ball in the order, I still have no estimate as to when I will receive it. In the interim, I had also ordered a Venom, and those were released yesterday. I was informed that mine would not be going out until next week. Is Hammer notorious for this? I would think that a ball that is supposedly in stock, should take less than a month to get to me, from a distance that normally takes 2-3 days via ups. What is the reasoning for Hammer to take such a long time to fill an order? If this is something that is going to happen everytime I place an order, I am just going to start throwing equipment from another company, that I know I can receive a couple of days after I order it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
