Stolen shafts


chisag

Recommended Posts

... Looks like someone just stole shafts right out of the box. Ordered 2 Black Tie 80gm shafts, one X for my son and one S for my F6 Baffler from RockBottomGolf. Box showed up today from UPS and one end had tape pulled aside. In the box were 2 shaft skins and the order sheet, but no shafts. I guess the holiday thieves are out early ... sigh.

That's frustrating. Sounds like porch pirates are at it again.

Will RBG cover the loss?

Sorry to hear that. Those things always seem to happen to people that would never consider doing it to someone else. I hope you get some positive resolution.

... Thanks. I used PayPal so I will get my money back.  RBG is notoriously slow shipping which is understandable with their crazy low prices but I ordered this on the 14th and 14 days later I have an empty box. I checked their website and they are out of S Flex so even if they could ship me two more I wouldn't get the shaft I need. Nobody to blame of course, other than the thief.

... Update: I sent a response to Rock Bottom Golf as soon as I opened the empty box last night but they were already closed. They got back to me first thing this morning and unfortunately they were out of the Stiff flex, which was the one I really needed. But they offered to either send me 2 X Flex shafts or send one and refund my purchase price for the stiff. I chose to get two X Flex shafts as I can always use them for my son but great customer service as you can see from the response below:

 

"I completely understand your frustration and do share some of it with you. You would be surprised how many thief's there are in the UPS world, and I do hope your reshipment does not fall victim to the same fate. I have had your product reshipped with new order number xxxxxxxx. I would expect to see tracking information provided tomorrow, and it to be received by the end of next week. Again I am very sorry for the inconvenience of the whole issue and have applied a $5 store credit to your account for the trouble, and out of stock shaft."

wow...that stinks...

on a side note - your still use a F6 baffler?  I'm a little bit surprised at that because there are so many clubs that fit into that profile - GAPR, DI, F7/8 hybrids, etc... is there any reason you've stuck with the baffler?  What types of shots do you use it for?

... I really love the F6 Baffler. I play it at a shorter length with a heavier shaft, so for me it is a cross between a fw wood and a hybrid giving me the best of both worlds. Set at 19* it is 1.75" longer than my 19* DI and 1.75" shorter than my 15.5* F8 fw wood so it fits a nice gap between those two clubs. I mostly use it from the rough or bad lies but every now and then I'll use it when I need max carry going into a long par 4 or 2nd shot into a par 5.

FTR...  everyone is quick to jump on the thief train.  Is it at all possible that the tape was damaged in transit and the shafts fell out?  Things happen and it sucks.

... Nope. Tape was obviously pulled aside as you can see in the photo and the box flap was also pulled in, and the shaft sleeves were balled up in the box. Someone broke into the box, took the shafts and then put the shaft sleeves back in the box.
