Q: When will my items ship?

A: The majority of orders ship same day if the order is placed by 1 PM Pacific Time. Orders placed after 1 PM Pacific Time on Friday typically ship out on Monday. Some high demand items may require an additional 2-3 business days to ship. Any orders requiring custom stringing might require an additional day of lead time. Please check the item details as items with an extended lead time will be noted in the description. If your item is temporarily on backorder but due to arrive, we will contact you within 1 business day to inform you. Unlike other badminton shops, we aim to give our customers as much transparency as possible, instead of booking a sale for products that are unavailable from the supplier or unknown as to when they will be available in the market.

Q: I made a mistake entering my address, can you guys change it?

A: If your order has not been shipped yet, we should be able to modify your address information. Please email support@badmintondirect.com immediately with your request. If your order has already been shipped, it cannot be changed. Please note that failed delivery due to wrong/invalid address may be subject to penalty fees assessed by the carrier, which the purchaser will be responsible for.

Q: Can you ship to my work address or to another person?

A: Typically, yes. But if the shipping & billing address do not match, your order might require additional processing time to verify. Please include a phone number so that we can call you. Any orders that cannot be verified and/or are flagged as fraudulent by our fraud-detection system will be canceled without notice.
