I purchased helmets for a non profit travel baseball club, i was shorted helmets due to and I quote "*****" misshipping or not dropping. I talked to someone over 6 weeks ago, and they said they were going to start an investigation, well they never did. I have 32 helmets left to send back, and I have returned items before that were well past the "60 day" policy with no problem. Today I am told that I cannot return the products because they are quote "clearanced" which is not noted on the website, and its past 60 days. Which none of this is stated when you purchase, and if it was stated then why would this company do it for me before. I have spent who knows how much money, and an exchange is all that is needed for a smaller size but instead they are forcing me to buy more helmets for a non profit club and taking more money away from the players.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/05/25) */ Contact Name and Title: Esa Contact Phone: ************ Contact Email: ******************************** Thank you for your feedback. We do have a 60 day return policy. The policy can be found under the returns/exchange section on our website. We do often make exceptions and will extend the policy if it is a reasonable time frame and the second condition is we must still have the item available on our website. If the item is sold out we will not accept a return or exchange on the product as the product page for that merchandise has been removed. I was able to locate your order ******** and I do see you called regarding a missing shipment. Can you please respond and let me know exactly how many you were missing. It appears we never received a claim resolution from the shipping carrier on this so we apologize and thank you for bringing our attention ********************************. I do see you have an extensive order history with us and am in contact with our warehouse to see if we can accept the return for you as a courtesy. I will follow up with you by Tuesday of Next week to the email address we have on file for you. Thank you and once again we apologize for any inconvenience. Our representatives were following our return protocol which is our policy. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for shopping at BaseballSavings. Business Response /* (4000, 14, 2022/06/22) */ In our previous response we requested to know how many helmets you were returning and we also recently sent you a reply to your email sent to customer service to ask how many boxes/labels were needed, to which we did not receive a response, so this morning on 6/22, we sent you a single shipping label to use to return what you need. If you need additional labels you will need respond to the customer service email or here on the BBB platform so we can receive your response to forward you the correct amount of labels needed. Please respond here or to the email we sent you on 6/20. If you only need the one label, please use it to return what you need for a refund as indicated in our earlier response. Once the return is received by our warehouse, please allow 1-5 business days for the return to be processed and refunded.Initial Complaint

I ordered two wedges from TGW: a 52 and a 56 ******************* (Order# ********). When they arrived, one was significantly longer than the other (not the expected 0.25"), like it was custom made for someone else, so I decided to return. To my surprise I received an email that notified me about a discounted payback on a form of store credit. When I called the call center, they told me that the clubs went straight to a third party, and the result of their evaluation was that the clubs were used; this is why they applied the "playability guaranty" rules. I don't know what parameters are checked when they put the "used" stamp on an item, but I know that these clubs did not get to the golf course at all, so they could hardly find signs of use. My only guilt is that I removed the shrink-wrap from the heads. If there is any issue with the clubs, it happened after I dropped the box at the carrier. When I tried to challenge the decision, the representative was going circles, and the only thing she could tell is that it is out of their jurisdiction, the decision was coming from a third-party, and they just follow the protocol. How convenient! The only thing I could achieve is to get a promise for refunding my money (at least what's left of it) to my credit card. After a week I called the company to check the status. The representative was clear that this store credit is the maximum I can get. Even when I asked for a supervisor, and explained that I understand the rules, but I don't trust this company anymore, so I don't want to have any business with them, therefore the store credit is useless for me, she was just repeating the same rules over and over again, assuring me that there is no way to change the outcome. I gave up, so I hereby challenge their decision, and unless they can prove that the exact same clubs I returned were indeed used, and the alleged signs of use are not damages from the shipping and handling, I'm seeking for a full refund to my credit card.Business response

Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2022/05/13) */ Thank you for your feedback. We reviewed your order and we do show that you returned these clubs. They went through inspection, as all returned clubs do, and were deemed to be used. This means, while inspecting the clubs it was determined that the club heads had marks on them. Even if these were used inside or hit lightly if any marks show up on the clubheads they are deemed as used as we are not able to resell as new if they show any sign of use at all. As a courtesy we are going to go ahead and void out the gift certificate we sent you and we are refunding you that amount of $****** to your original method of payment on file. I also went ahead and refunded you the fee that was deducted separately for an additional $*****. Y ou should see these amounts post back to your account within 1-5 business days. Please be advised for any future club returns that if a playability is offered and the clubs are deemed used a **% deduction will be assessed and the remainder sent as in store credit. Your satisfaction is very important to us and we see that you have ordered several times in the past so we went ahead and reversed this decision for you. We do appreciate you business and we hope to continue doing business with you in the future. IF you have any other questions or concerns feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you. Thank you. Consumer Response /* (2000, 7, 2022/05/17) */ (The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)Initial Complaint

I purchased a golf bag last week, and I attempted to utilize ****** for my purchase. Somehow, it defaulted shipping address defaulted to and address when I was in *****. The problem is that I moved to *******. I did not see it on the order until I got the tracking information. I immediately called on Sunday morning, and I was advised they would call ****** to see what could be done, and the commitment was to call me back. I never received that phone call. I called back, and I spoke with someone else. They stated that ****** said there is nothing that could be done, and I would have to complete a call tag after the item was delivered. They committed to doing that for me. When I called after it was delivered, they said I could not do a call tag unless I had the package. I would think your company would have a process to handle those types of situations. I even attempted to contact ****** to place the package on hold, and it said your company had policy restrictions to keep that from happening. Just not a good customer experience. My problem is that other companies have access to change the shipping address, and I have personally done it for customers. At the very least the item could have been placed on hold. I will be traveling to ***** at the end of the month, and I might have been able to pick it up if it was holding. This is just unacceptable service, and I would like my money back or my purchase.

I ordered a pair of men shoes size 8 on Jan 14th, 2022 for a total of $***** including shipping cost of $****. TGW sent me size 7 which was not the size I ordered so I visited TGW's website to begin return process on Jan 19th. I felt the error on my order was not my fault. The options available on TGW's online return forms interestingly bear all responsibilities for shipping return fees onto customers. I called Customer Service explaining the mistake on my order and I shouldn't be held responsible for $**** return shipping label. Customer Service waved shipping fee and I received shipping label for return. Customer Service assured once they receive the shoes, I will get full credit back to my credit card. I sent shoes back and waited for communication on credit. Feb 10th, I received an email from TGW crediting $**** back to my credit card and $***** in a form of TGW's gift certificate. I had no intention of using TGW's credit anytime soon so I called Customer Service on Feb 10th to have $***** credited back to original card. Customer service politely handled my request of crediting back to credit card and provided 3 to 5 days to see credit appear back on account. I waited two weeks and saw no credit from TGW posted to my account. I called Customer Service to see if there's any issue and again they asked for 3 to 5 days for credit to post. I waited 7 business days and still no credit to my account. I emailed Customer service expressing my frustration and the time I spent to correct this order that was their fault. CS asked for 24-48 hours to track down credit issue. I waited a week and have not heard back from them. As of this morning March 5th, I have gave up on seeking truth from these folks and feel they have robbed $***** from me. The TGW's gift certificate is not valid and I can't get an ****** person at TGW to help with issue. CS is polite and assured that I am a valued customer.at the end of each call. Right!!!
