So, if the item is sent by USPS, and the mailroom employee puts the item in the wrong box, the customer may be out of luck because USPS says the item was delivered. This is what happened to my friend's camera. I don't know about Ebay, but Amazon rarely uses USPS for deliveries anymore. Most of their deliveries come to my house in an Amazon truck.

Red asked if I thought he wasn't normal........ I said yes! You are far from normal, meant it in a good way. He obviously didn't see golfers as athletes........I think he was a little bias........but it was the Eddie Edelman talk crap show. :p

If Archery and Curling were on the list, I guess golf counts.

Red was one of a kind. I never understood the whole Eddie Andleman thing, but he was popular.

Which by Chinese law is required to give their government any information that they want.

Please explain what was wrong and did they fix it. My guess is residents will take in clubs for mostly grips. I replace my own, didn’t get a chance to look at what they offered or cost to change.

A friend paid $80 to an Ebay seller for a camera, but he never got the camera. The seller's reply was that he sent it, and if he didn't get it, that's too bad.

EBay has substantial "buyer protection"...

Bet they make more money on the ladies clothes on a % basis. Not much mark up on golf clubs

I just left the store about an hour ago, my first time there. Club prices are in line with other stores (Golf Central, Edwin Watts), nice selection of clothes. The peripheral stuff (golf balls, gloves) are very overpriced, imo, compared to the stores mentioned in the previous sentence. I wouldn't go back unless I was already headed to Total Wines.

I'm pretty sure the United States government does the same thing under "Homeland Security".

Fixed by manufacturer.
