FAQ

HOW IT WORKS

How does Bat Club USA work?

Bat Club is simple. By paying a monthly or annual fee, you get access to a brand-new bat whenever you want! You can switch your bat at any time!

Do I own the bats?

If you purchase the bat in full or through Klarna, you own the bat immediately.

If you choose either our Pro membership option or our MVP Annual option, YOU DO NOT OWN THE BAT unless a buyout payment is made.

If you switch your bat, you do not own the original bat being switched out. You are expected to return it. If you fail to return the original bat, you are responsible for the full price of the bat.

Why would I want to become a member?

Bat Club is a great way to make sure that your player is outfitted with the best equipment without having to worry about spending a ton of money in the long run. We have seen way too many players that are stuck with poor performing or poor fitting equipment because many parents are not able to spend another $350-$500 to get the perfect equipment. Our mission is to make it easy for all kids to always have that competitive advantage and offer peace of mind to the parents who want to help their players perform to the best of their abilities.

We offer great benefits that are of high value for people that have ever had the problem of having to buy more than one bat in any 12-month period.

• The ability to switch at any time for any reason, whether a bat is too big or small, broken, not the right color, we want to make sure your player has the right equipment for them.

• If your item breaks so you can get a replacement in as quick as 2 days instead of 4-6 weeks.

• Partner discounts that offer over $600 in discounts at our partners' stores/websites.

Can I switch my bat during my membership?

Absolutely! The ability to switch bats at any time for any reason is one of the biggest benefits of being a Bat Club member! To switch your bat simply login to your account, find the item you want to switch to and in the drop-down box select the item you are wanting to switch. You will be required to pay the first month of your new bat to reserve it and to return your old bat before the new one ships.

If you are using our MVP Annual Plan you will need to email us a switch request so that we can add a credit to your account. The original bat must be received back at our facility before the new bat can be shipped. The only way a new bat would be able to ship prior to the old bat shipping would be with a refundable deposit being placed for the full amount of the new bat which can be refunded once the old bat is received.

What does it mean when an item is for Members Only?

One of the benefits of being a Bat Club USA member is having first access to new items or very popular items when they come back in stock. We mark these items as members only to give our current members the first opportunity to order them. After a certain amount of time, the item may become available to everyone else. With these items, a member is defined as someone who has an active subscription for at least 6 months and has a good payment history. Bat Club USA reserves the right to cancel any order for a member who does not meet one or all of these requirements.

 Can I return a bat I opened?

If you PURCHASED your bat and PAID IN FULL through Bat Club USA without a membership, the bat must still be unopened and unused for the item to be returned for a refund. We will not refund any shipping costs. Any item purchased in full without a membership that has been open or used will not be eligible for return.

Can I buy the bat with a monthly or annual membership payment?

No, the only way to purchase a bat by splitting payments would be selecting the full purchase option and then using the Klarna financing option at checkout.

What if I don't qualify for financing?

If you do not qualify for the Klarna financing, you have the option to purchase the bat in full or you can start a Bat Club USA membership. You would be expected to return the bat or pay the buyout price.
