Writing your order number on the outside of the package helps us quickly identify your return.

New items in original packaging - returnable for full refund of item's price within 30 days of original ship date.

Lightly used and/or out of wrapper items - returned within 14 days will be subject to a 15% restocking fee that will be deducted from your refund. Used and out of wrapper items returned after 14 days will not be accepted.

Broken, cracked, dented, heavily used, abused and/or incomplete items - will not be accepted. 

Missing bat warranty stickers, holograms, serial number stickers - Your return will be declined or subject to a restocking fee if the sticker or hologram that came affixed to your bat is not returned, which is required for bat warranty purposes.

Defective or broken bats - These items must go back to the manufacturer of your bat for replacement. If you do return your broken bat to us it will drastically slow down your replacement turnaround time. Each manufacturer has their own bat warranty process that they handle directly with you. They handle hundreds of warranty returns a day, and they do a great job with them. When you do contact the manufacturer to start your warranty claim process, please have your order information ready as they'll need that as your proof of purchase.  If you need a copy of your invoice, please us our tool at the top of this page that says "Order Lookup" and we will email you a copy of your proof of purchase.

Warranty Bats - What Bat Will I Get In Return?

There is no guarantee which bat the bat maker will send as a replacement. The maker of your bat will decide and send you the most similar bat available. The decision is up to the maker of your bat.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Bats sent in for warranty with older stamps and or certifications that are no longer being made or no longer available from the maker of your bat may be replaced with the newest certification available, and NOT the exact same bat you sent in.

This is an especially important fact for purchasers of 1.20 USSSA stamp slowpitch softball bats as old bats sent in for warranty purposes will be replaced with the newest USSSA slowpitch stamp bats.

CheapBats.com does not accept warranty replacement bat returns for credit or exchange.
