REFUND & EXCHANGE
More information on our refund & exchange policy is available here
I am not happy with the performance of my cricket bat. Can I exchange it or get a refund?
We CANNOT guarantee the performance of any cricket bat and do not accept any claim for exchange or refund for any perceived lack of performance.
Cricket Bats are hand crafted and made from natural willow and each bat is unique. We cannot test the performance of each bat and even if we could, performance is subjective. What might be good performance for us, might not be good for you and vice versa. The only thing we guarantee is that the bats are genuine.
We take utmost care during the bat preparation process but minor cracks and damage can occur during knocking in.
The performance of a cricket bat also depends on the player's skill level.
We are happy to provide you photos or any other information about the bat you are considering buying. Please feel free to contact us before finalising your purchase.
What if I have received damaged items?
MCG Sports delivers all the products through a selection of trusted carriers and ensures that the products are carefully packed to prevent any damage during transportation. However, if you receive a damaged product kindly get in touch with us within 7 days of receiving your order.

If I am getting a refund or a replacement bat under warranty, will it include bat services as well ?
Bat Services (Oiling & Knocking, Extratec Sheet, Toe Guard, etc) are considered as wear and tear items and are not covered under warranty.
Previous payment for these services will not be refunded or these services will not be added to the replacement bat as a complimentary service.

I haven't received my order yet on the expected delivery date. What do i do ?
Apologies for the delay you experienced in receiving your package. some times Due to festive seasons and increased parcel volumes, unfortunately, all carriers are experiencing delays in transit and support times.
