Shipping
1 business day dispatch* implies to Sturdy Sports working days. We are closed on Tuesday & Wednesday from March-July and do not dispatch on these days and the postal service is not operational on weekends and public holidays.
Dispatch is under our control whereas the delivery time frame entirely depends on the respective postal service. Shipping cost won't be refunded in any circumstances.
NOTE - For an order, if we are out of stock for an item, we will refund the amount for that item and dispatch the rest of the order available.
If one or more services (example but not limited to Match Ready, Engraving, etc) are chosen but they have not been paid at the time of purchase, then we will dispatch the order without performing the unpaid service.
