Not fair to bowlers!
« on: March 30, 2008, 05:02:42 AM »
quote:
Since we don't deal with these sites we can't control what they do or what you get. So here's the unfortunate catch...if you have problems with what you bought, please call the business from which you bought the ball and NOT the MoRich toll free number! Even though our name and number are on the box, we didn't sell you the ball and can't help you with any problem surrounding your purchase. You MUST work that out with the business you purchased it from.  As the old saying goes, "buyer beware!"




Don't think this is fair ..Your bowling balls are not SMALL TICKET items .. when a bowling ball cost in the neighborhood of $200 and I am the original buyer .. I expect the manufacturer to stand behind problems (like cracking) no matter where I bought the ball! When you as a manufacturer are seeking assistance in creating your bowling balls (workers/equipment/quarters/etc.) you seek not only the best but the best price .. why then should you expect less from your customers!

With the statement you've made I will STAY AWAY from MoRich balls and hope my fellow bowlers do the same!

Joe, where did that quote originate from?
If what it says is true then I too will refrain
from buying anymore Morich balls . . . .

Joe...

I'm sure a lot of the complaints MoRich has received come from people getting these NIB MoRich balls on eBay and are getting odd pin outs, top weights, and butt ugly balls for a LOT less than retail.

These sellers on eBay, for the most part, are also pretty good at letting the buyer know what they are getting into.

See when you put that quote in the context you did, you made it seem as if that was an e-mail sent to you by the company, thus giving Morich a black eye.  In reality that is a news message posted on their site about how they do not sell their equipment from their OWN INTERNET SHOP, and if you get a bad seed from eBay, they cannot help you from THEIR INTERNET SHOP, since they do not sell their equipment from THEIR INTERNET SHOP.

Big Difference guys.

Never thrown a Morich...oh yea I did once....but still....if you're going to post something like that, give the link and everything first.

Are you suggesting that what you define is the ONLY thing they are talking about? How can you make that determination.

They are suggesting that you can NOT bring your problems to MoRich. They put their number on the ball-box but it IS NOT TO BE USED! Yes they say go back to the B&M shop but if he doesn't help you .. TOUGH!

If you don't read that in what they are saying please define it for me!

Dude... go to a pro shop.  Get your bowling ball.  Get support.  Be happy.  If you get one from the internet, you are on your own.  Pretty straight forward in my opinion.

It would play out differently because you didn't get it from some 3rd party internet vendor.  They are telling you don't get your ball from the internet... so... don't do it.

Or, more specifically, they are telling you they don't support third party vendors selling their ball over the Internet.  They do not deal directly to them as a distribution method of choice.  Therefore, they will not support a ball you purchase from them as they are not part of their intended supply chain.

I think this is the crock about this..

All Morich balls are produced at one place correct?? No one is producing balls that are "copy" Morich balls.  So Morich does in-fact produce all balls bearing the Morich name does it not?

So if the ball being produced by Morich is somehow defective, it doesn't matter if it was sold by Morich, Buddies, or Joe Smoe off the internet.  Morich produces the product and does the initial shipping of it's products does it not? (I am not 100% sure how balls go from production to the proshops, etc...)

Since Morich produced the ball...I think no matter where the ball is bought...if there is a defect..(not bad driling...too much super glue...etc..) then this should be handled by Morich no matter what...but again I am not completely fluent on distribution so I may be completely off the topic..lol

I asked my pro shop guy, who is a MoRich guy and sells alot of MoRich stuff, about the statement on the MoRich site telling people that they are SOL if they by a ball off the internet and have a problem.  He told me that MoRich does sell balls to places like Bowling.com, Bowlersparadise.com, etc.  He felt the website statement applied to purchases made from ebay or other sites like that. I will ask my pro shop guy to ask Mo for clarification and I will get back to you if and when I get an answer.
