Bowlersparadise - great prices but.......
« on: May 15, 2010, 11:17:57 AM »
I know a lot of you saw that great sale they had last week.  So, I picked up a Mission for $109.00 shipped.  A great price to be sure.  In the special instructions at check out, I specifically stated to send me a pin out of 3-4, and if they could not honor that request to please contact me.  The ball arrived yesterday, and sure enough it was only a 2-3.  

I know, it's not that big of deal.  But I'm use to getting what I ask for.  I usually go through Buddies.  If you ask for a pin postion or top weight, you get it.  If they can't get it for you, they call you to ask what you would like to do.  

It's still a great deal to be sure, but would have been nice to get the pin out that I requested.

What was the actual pin? If 3" (or close) you pretty much got what you asked.

Did you get an answer? Did you really pay below the Ebonite Pro Shop price?
Was this ball a 2nd? I would like to know  and so would others.

109.95 IS THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR A REGULAR MISSION?
I am having a hard time understanding?

$109 is cheaper than I can get this ball from my distributor! I'll give you $109 and you can ship it to me!

YES, that was the price and that included shipping. They ran a special for 2 days on many high end balls for $109.95 shipped and they were not 2nds.

I give up.  Some people just don't get the point.  All I wanted to do was share an experience with an online proshop.  All of these comments - "you paid $109 for a ball, be happy with what you get" are ridiculous.   Again - I don't belive the price that you pay for a ball should equate to the level of customer service you get.  I just wanted to share the fact that this online merchant does not honor pin requests.  Thats all.   I thought I would be helping out fellow bowlers who order balls online.   I didn't intend to turn this into a online bashing thread.

I've been really busy at work, have not had a chance to call them.  BUT - I emailed them 10 days ago.  Still no response from Bowlersparadise.  I'm sorry, but that is just unbelievable.   Name one respectable online merchant that just ignores these messages?  Not online bowling sites, but just online merchants in general.   Unreal.  

Take this information and do with it whatever you want.  For me, I will never do business with them agian.
