They won't help if bat comes defective

"Beware if bat comes defective they will NOT help you that like to guide you to the manufacture warranty and brush their shoulders off. My situation was time sensitive and even though they were more then capable to make it right they decided that they were not interested in helping me out.
Shop SOMEWHERE ELSE look for better warranties and better customer service.

Horrible Customer Service

"This company has the worst customer service. Sent me the wrong bag and now insists I pay for shipping back to get a refund. Asked to be escalated to management and everyone refuses. Sent the company several emails. No response. Pathetic. Should not be in business."

Very Disappointed

"The whole order got messed up, first the shipping, granted that it wasn't their fault but, then the wrong bat got sent out. All I got in return was an apology. The bat they sent out was over $100.00 more expensive than the one ordered. I sent it back! Honesty wasn't valued enough with this business. I was just offered for the bat to be resent, but the tournament was over by then. So, I was just offered a refund. Really! No discount offer for future purchases or something like that. No any other compensation offers to make it right and regain my business and trust! "

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

"My softball team purchased a single bat for our season. We bought the Miken rev-ex for roughly $150.00. We played one game and had one practice with the bat and noticed the end cap was comping loose. I called Miken and they would "test" the bat to see if it was repairable. Miken said it would be 2 weeks or longer to see if the bat was repairable. I called Cheapbats about giving us a refund since we only have one bat to play with.
Cheapbats and the manufactures have a great circle of zero refunds. Cheapbats pushes the "warranty issue" on the manufacturer and the manufacturer pushes the "refunds" off on the seller. Now we have to purchase a new bat in-order to get the "new bat" (Miken rev-ex) fixed.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. MAKE YOUR PURCHASES OFF OF AMAZON

Still waiting on my purchase from Christmas

"Purchased a 2018 demarini for my daughter for christmas with 2 day delivery and didn't get it. Bat was sent late through ups and was said to be left at door. Surprisingly no box when I get home . Had a gentleman who was really nice try it again and I asked that package must be signed for and surprisingly again no package or signature for one. So no gift for my daughter . I was told it would be refunded but it wasn't so called paypal to dispute and they were sent the sipping notice and no explanation on my package ..so still no bat and no refund from either.. now I've emailed point of contact Mike and have not received a response on 4 emails. Very disappointed right now considering I've just bought 5 more bats from a diffrent company waiting on a response from Mike . All I want is my bat or my refund ..thank you

"I ordered a bat with Cheapbats for my son. This item was a preorder and on the website in big, bold letters it said "Guraraneed Delivery by 8/30/13. My son is starting fall ball, so it seemed like the perfect time to break in the bat. Well the day before the bat was supposed to be delivered, we got an email saying that we would not be getting the bat for a couple weeks. I cancelled the order and was able to go onto Amazon and order the bat to be delivered within a couple days (I could start tracking the package the day I placed the order).

Again, my complaint is that if you are going to "guarantee" delivery, then you have to do whatever it takes to fulfill the order including going on to Amazon and buying the bats themselves to be sent to your customers.

Sorry, no excuses accepted when you are going to "guarantee" something because I selected your company based on that guarantee.

"Horrible customer service! The bat was ordered as a gift for my daughter But because the shipping address and the billing address were different They held the order. The next day they called the cardholder who verified the purchase by verifying a small security charge to his account. After then waiting three days with no bat, I called cheap bats back and was told that they had emailed and called with no response from me, so they held the order. .. During the call I explained to them that I pulled up my bank account on my iPad and showed that they had in fact charged me for , and cleared the security amount of $1.98 after speaking to one of their representatives, Who then failed to release the original order Resulting in me not receiving the bat on time... The only reason I attempted to use this site was because of the advertised free today and are shipping. I originally intended to use the bat for a tournament that weekend. The representative for cheap bats.com made no attempt to apologize their error. I ended up going to eBay and buying the Dmarini CF6 -10 bat for $50 less and had it overnight shipping for free. The person I spoke with the second time was named Scott,... He was also the original caller I spoke with the Tuesday before to verify the payment. He must have thought I did not remember his name from the previous Tuesday. He in fact was the one who failed to make the notation on the computer so the water would have gone through. I would never recommend this site to anyone! My daughter was so excited about the new bat... Only to be heartbroken when it did not arrive."

"I recently bough a bat from them and they were great. I needed to return the bat because I ordered the wrong size. They paid for shipping to return the bat to them and they did not charge me to send out the replacement. I know they ate at least $20 for that.

The shipping was super fast and they answered their phone when I needed help, unlike many other bat companies out there.

Thank you!

"My recent experience with this company was less than satisfactory. I purchased a softball bat that, upon, delivery felt too lite. I contacted their customer support and was told I could return the bat and that I would not be charged a 10% restocking fee if the bat was in it's wrapper in new condition. So, I ordered the same bat (1 ounce heavier) and shipped back the original bat as a return.

Over a month later I saw the credit cheapbats.com issued to me while reviewing my credit card statement... the only problem being, the credit they issued me was only 75% of the original purchase price. Confused, I called their customer support line. They told me that upon receipt of the bat they felt it showed signs of being hit while in the wrapper, and therefore took off 25% of the purchase price. I protested and told them I had not hit the bat (and, truthfully, I never hit balls with the bat)... they checked their records and insisted the bat had been hit BUT told me they would give me a store credit for $40.

Are you kidding me? They went through the lengths of denying me my full refund and then turn around to offer me a store credit for the difference between the purchase price and the amount they refunded me? It makes zero sense. Something is awfully suspicious with that scenario... yet they refused to refund the money to my credit card. I rejected their 40 store credit offer... a storefront this dishonest doesn't deserve any further business from me.

I had not hit any balls with the bat I returned. They never contacted me to discuss the issue or to alert me that they weren't issuing a full credit. They never gave me an option to keep the bat. They simply kept a portion of my money and kept the bat... if I hadn't paid attention to my credit statement, I never would have known.

A very discouraging and disappointing experience.
