The product could use some TLC

I recently got this batter's box template from Anthem, and working with them was a breeze. But, let's chat about the template itself. For what I shelled out, I kinda expected a bit more in the quality department. The holes? Yeah, they didn't really match up with the buttons, so I had to get out the drill. And those pieces? Just tacked together, not really solid. I was hoping for at least a quick paint job to fend off rust, but no luck there. Ended up painting it myself to keep it in shape. All in all, a mixed bag. Anthem's great to deal with, but the product could use some TLC.

I ordered some stuff online

I ordered some stuff online and the ordering process went pretty smooth. They even sent me a notification that my order was going to ship. But then, radio silence. No actual shipping date, no estimated delivery date, no info on what service would deliver it. I had no clue when it would actually show up. Turns out, it got delivered when we weren’t home. Found it just sitting there when we got back. It would’ve been nice to know when to expect it, you know? Little frustrating not having any idea about the delivery details. They should improve that part for sure.

I ahd a stadium lap cover

I ahd a stadium lap cover, attracted by the misleading photos suggesting it could be closed at the back to block drafts. Unfortunately, the reality is different—there's no way to fasten it as depicted in the pictures. Despite this disappointment, the product itself boasts great quality, compelling me to keep it. Nevertheless, it deviates from what I initially sought in my shopping, and had I known beforehand, I might have continued my search elsewhere.

Anthem was simple to deal with.

Anthem was simple to deal with. I bought a batters box template, and for the price, I thought the quality could have been improved. I had to drill the holes myself because they didn’t match up with the buttons, and the pieces are just tacked together. Given what I paid, I expected a better finish. I ended up painting it to prevent rust.

The package arived all squished

The package arived all squished, but the item inside was okay. I tried to send it back and found out it would cost $96 with UPS because the box is really big. There wasn’t any return label included, so now I gotta keep it.

I encountered a rather frustrating situation when I needed to order a replacement part for our Gared volleyball system

I encountered a rather frustrating situation when I needed to order a replacement part for our Gared volleyball system. Gared initially referred me to this company for the replacement part, but my experience was less than stellar. The first person I spoke to appeared to be unaware of the product or its replacement parts. She outright claimed that the company did not offer standalone replacement parts and couldn't assist me. This left me quite puzzled and disappointed as I expected a more helpful response, especially after being referred by the manufacturer. I called the company again, and this time, I was fortunate to speak with Julie. She was a breath of fresh air. Julie was not only knowledgeable about the product but also committed to helping me. She took the initiative to contact Gared, determine the exact issue, and ensure we got the replacement part on order. Her exceptional service and dedication made a significant difference. While the resolution was ultimately positive, the delayed replacement part arrived too late for our school's first volleyball tournament. In a pinch, a teacher's husband had to weld the broken piece back together, which was far from an ideal solution.

I got the Wilson Omega

I got the Wilson Omega for my son's 15th birthday, hoping it would be a great surprise. The ball was pricey at $150 and was supposed to come in a special Omega box. But when it arrived, it was crammed into a small box, barely fitting the football. When we tried playing with it, the ball felt really slick and kept wobbling, no matter how much we brushed it or added wax. We couldn't get it to spiral properly, unlike the GST's we've used before. For the price, I expected better quality and the custom box it promised. Really disappointing experience, especially for my son's big day.

Bought this two-pack of lanyards

Bought this two-pack of lanyards from Anthem Sports hoping they'd be my trusty sidekicks for my gear. But, oh, what a disappointment. These things just can’t hold their ground. The moment I attach the third hand or any bit of weight, the latch behind the neck gives up. It's like they're allergic to doing their job. I really wanted these to work, but now I'm stuck needing replacements. I mean, what's the point if they can't even stay secured? Frustrating to say the least. Anyone else had this issue? Trying to figure out if I just got a dud batch or if this is a common problem.

The poles are undeniably sturdy

The poles are undeniably sturdy, but their inability to withstand any tension from a volleyball net renders them practically useless. Unfortunately, the net sags to the floor, and attempting to tighten it only leads to the poles collapsing. Despite efforts to enhance stability with additional weight, the net remains unusable. This purchase turned out to be a regrettable investment of $2000.00.

The communication and delivery were a letdown

I recently had quite an experience with a company and thought I'd share. The sales guy I dealt with was genuinely helpful, but the rest of the process was pretty frustrating. We shelled out a hefty sum for expedited shipping, expecting things to arrive quickly. However, when the package didn't show up on time, there was radio silence from the company. I had to chase them down for answers. The items finally arrived more than a month late, way past the events we needed them for in late April. In my opinion, the expedited shipping fee should be refunded, since it was completely pointless. Overall, while the sales interaction was positive, the communication and delivery were a letdown.

You won't believe what happened

You won't believe what happened when I tried to snag a deal from Anthem Sports. I found this awesome discount on something I really wanted, so I quickly ordered it. Everything seemed fine until, out of nowhere, they just cancelled my order. Didn't even bother to tell me why. The kicker? They put the same item back up but at the original price. Seriously, what's up with that? Felt like they were playing games or something. It's really not cool to mess with customers like that. If you're thinking about buying from them, maybe think twice. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this weird experience.

I was pretty excited when

I was pretty excited when I found a catcher's mitt on Anthem Sports at a decent price. It seemed like a solid deal, nothing too crazy, just a fair price compared to other sites. So I went ahead and bought it, thinking it was all set. But then Anthem Sports hit me with an email saying there was a system error and they couldn't honor the price. It was disappointing because I thought the transaction was done. It left me feeling like I can't really trust their pricing now. I guess I'll be looking elsewhere for my sports gear from now on.

Got my new bball rim

Got my new bball rim from Anthem and was super excited, but man, the packaging was a mess. Torn up, re-taped, still ripped in spots – not great. The Gared 7550 rim itself had chipped paint in several places. Called customer service for a replacement, but after talking to her supervisor, the rep said all they could do was send me touch-up paint. When the paint arrived, it was also improperly packed; the cap was off and there was paint sprayed inside the box. Definitely not the experience I was hoping for. Overall, very frustrating.

I bought an item

I recently bought an item, but it didn’t fit right. I figured returning it would be straightforward. But since I didn’t have the "original" box anymore, they knocked off 10% from my refund. To top it off, I had to cover the shipping costs, which were more than $60. That really stung. Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed and won’t be shopping there again. Just a heads-up if you’re thinking about buying from them—make sure you keep everything, including the box, or you might end up losing more money than you expected.

I purchased an item and received

I purchased an item and received a confirmation of sale. A few days later, I was informed that the item had been discontinued, and the replacement was 4 times the original price. After obtaining quotes from other companies, I discovered that the new price has indeed gone up that much. However, upon further investigation, it seems the original item was never discontinued. While I understand the convenience of stating that, I'm not entirely sure it was completely true.

Ordered something online, and it

Ordered something online, and it took forever to get here. When it finally arrived, it was the wrong item. Called customer service, and they were super rude, acting like it was my fault. After arguing, they agreed to a return but made me jump through hoops to send it back. No apology, no coupon, nothing to make up for the hassle. Not shopping with them again.
