“Dexter SST-6 Shoes”

Steve S.
12/4/23

This was my first purchase with Bowlers Paradise, the site was easy to use, my item came on time and their customer service was spot on (shout out to Justin McNally). I had a question regarding my shipping status, I sent an email around 6:30pm (CST) and within 2 hours I got a response. I definitely wasn't expecting a response so quickly. I'll definitely be ordering more items from Bowlers Paradise in the future!

“Shipping gone bad”

Very disappointed in the shipping but I guess that doesn't fall upon you. It was FedEx who did not seem to follow up until seven days later.

I was disappointed you advertise 10% discount just to find out it wasn't on the items I purchase. I feel that was misleading.

I got my products in a reasonable amount of time and I enjoy the new shoes so far. They did scuff up the wood a bit as I drag my back foot but I'm hoping that stops as they get worked in a little but more.

It would be better if you could select two of the same products but different colors for the discount.

The rating should be asked after the item arrives. I have no idea what the quality and fit will be at this time.

Would have liked to see shoe sizing charts to be more closer to size rather than taking the chance of returning and having to pay restocking fee

Overall the experience was good until "checkout", then it wouldn't complete the order. I even completed a "contact us" request & your site didn't process that either. So I entered billing info AGAIN & it worked the 2nd time. I've shopped with you before but couldn't remember password, so signed up again.

At checkout, kept being prompted for street address greater than 1 character. Full address was typed in. On 4th try, same address was finally accepted. Otherwise, all was good!

Coupon code kept getting rejected. I think that says it all. I should have received the discount promised.

Received the bowling shoe cover, description stated that my size 10 bowling shoe would fit a medium. The medium is at least 2 sizes too small, an tried to start a return and I couldn't get ahold of anyone to help me through the process but nothing. So I am jus stuck with your product I can't use

Great delivery time. Ordered new bowling ball on Tuesday with standard delivery service. Got it on Friday. Outstanding.
Had My local pro drill it and threw it in league play on Thursday night, with good results. Thanks.

This is a Christmas gift do you extend the 30 day returns for the holiday shopping to allow for returns or exchanges ?

Shipping charge is kind of high (40% of purchase). Wish I could do this rating after I received my order. Ratings could have been higher once I actually have my order in hand.

Should include delivery date instead of 3-5 days. Helps people around the holidays know exact dates on arrival

I am still puzzled as to how my merchandise was delivered to the wrong address. I was just fortunate that the people who received my merchandise were honest.
