My husband bought our son a Marucci USA bat for his current league season. He used the bat one game, unfortunately the bat cracked. My husband went to Dicks (with his original receipt) to exchange the bat…however he was met with a manager who was rude/discourteous and had no intention of helping him because my husband didn’t purchase “your warranty”. So my question is do you not back your product? Offer assistance to customers? Require a positive/helpful attitude from your “managers”? Had we bought your warranty could we have exchanged the bat? Your process makes zero sense, you offer a product, the product is defective, the customer returns it, you send it back to the manufacturer and get credit…your warranty is a way for your company to make more money when the outcome of the returned product is the same…you get your money back. My husband was told to “take it up” with Marucci….unfortunately by the time we go through their claims process my son’s league ball season will be over. I am beyond frustrated and completely surprised that your company offered zero assistance. We have been Dick’s shoppers for years, that ended today.
