Returns + Exchanges

If you're having second thoughts about your unused gear, and your purchase was made within 30 days, you can return it if the item meets our return policy listed below.

 

Can I Return Anything?

Almost. Items returned for satisfaction reasons must be unused and in resalable condition. Resalable condition means products are new and unused and in original packaging with all tags attached. Once equipment has been used, even slightly (paddles, balls, bags, etc) we can no longer accept it back for exchange or refund. 

For hygienic reasons, we cannot accept the return of used footwear- only new/never worn footwear can be returned for credit or refund and has to include original box and packaging. The original box must also be returned in brand new condition. 

Sale items (other than sale items purchased during our Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sale) are eligible for exchange or store credit only. All clearance, used & demo products are final sale. Clearance product is any item discounted 25% or greater or any item labeled as final sale on it's listing 

***Special Promos:  All sale items purchased in our Black Friday/ Cyber Monday Sale and any Flash Sale are FINAL SALE. Items that are purchased at full price during these sales may be returned or exchanged as per our policy above.

Price Adjustment Policy

If a regular priced, in-stock item goes on sale within 7 days of the date you purchased it, you are entitled to a price adjustment in the form of a store credit for the difference of the original purchase price to the sale price. Pickleball Depot will not offer price adjustments for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Boxing Week or Flash Sale promotions. In order to receive a price adjustment, you must come into the store with the receipt or in the case of online orders, contact our customer service by phone or email. 

 


 

Paddle Weight Requests

Paddle weight requests are welcomed at no additional charge and will be fulfilled to the best of our ability as inventory allows. We unfortunately cannot guarantee weight requests, however when the exact weight is not available we will fulfill the order the with a paddle that is +/- 0.1oz within the requested weight. Beyond a +/- 0.1oz the shipping department will contact you with alternative weight options. All shipping fees associated with paddle returns based on unsatisfactory weights are the responsibility of the customer. 

 

How Much is 0.1oz?

Have you ever stressed out about getting an exact weight on your paddle? You shouldn't. A tenth of an ounce (0.1oz) is about the weight of a penny. Try holding your paddle and then placing a penny on it. Can you feel a difference? If you thought you did, try doing it again blindfolded with someone else putting the penny on. If you don’t already have it in your head that you can feel the difference, you won’t.
