What I mean by exclusive is you will not get the cloth bag if you buy any other coded racket other than JP coded. Only JP version comes with it and that makes it exclusive . But I agree that the banana bag protects the racket better .
I see, so I guess that's not mybadmintonstore's fault. But the string is still kind of annoying.. on the receipt it clearly says gold. I got the red strings... in combination with an arcsaber 10 it wont look very good. I'm having it strung now, so I'll see if it looks ok. And the packaging... I cannot believe the racquet is still in one piece.
I felt annoyed as well when I ordered 4 hi-qua flying clamps but received 3 hi-qua clamps and 1 MBS flying clamp.... But what the heck...there is no much difference between the Hi-qua and MBS flying clamp. I'm planning to restring my Arc 10 with red NBG98.....
sorry... but I LOL when I read this thread. The cloth bag is signature of JP coded racquet.... I thought it was a good thing to have them...
I've changed my mind about mybadmintonstore.com... I had never bought a JP racket before so I didn't know what the bag was . The guy did send me the wrong colored string, however it does actually look nice on my racket (in my opinion), and he did contact me and apologize. The biggest problem I have with his store is the terrible packing he sent my racket in, but hopefully with the new order I just placed he will do a better job. He is very helpful and is easy to get ahold of, at least during midnight here . I will continue to order here only because he has stuff that isn't available in the U.S., but otherwise I prefer badmintonalley. So for anyone interested in ordering from this store, I would say that it's trustworthy and the shipping is fast (2 days from Hong Kong to my house in the U.S.).
I've had no probs with them either. I bought a racket (88 holes 2007) and some strings (ashaway A68ti.. which are great btw!). Each shipment took about 2 1/2 weeks from HK to Montreal, CANADA; I also received regular e-mails in b/n giving me updates on the shipment status. I'd certainly buy from them again!
hhhmmmm... hello guys! i just registered, great forums! greetings from germany all you guys seem to be very fond of mybadmintonstore.com and i've been planning to buy a racquet from them but then i found something strange: http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=25_27_91_94&products_id=434 it's the yonex 10011 jersey - now compare the one from mbs with this: http://www.racketshop.ch/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=1170 i know the one shown in the second link is genuine - because yonexusa.com picture of 10011 looks just like it. then i saw the one on mbs and i think it's obviously a fake: - the middle of the shirt should be a bit paler - the yy-logo is white instead of black so what do you think? - i'd really like to buy from mybadmintonstore.com as you all said that they sell genuine products but i am not so sure now..
That looks like possibly a different generation of shirt, so maybe it had been modified.... I'm not an expert on this, but I know MBS sells genuine racquets.
ok thx - good to know i may buy a racket there but the shirt mysteriously dissappeared from mbs' product list - maybe coincidence... and by the way - can anyone tell me why i have "0 posts"?
Another double thumbs up for MBS from me. The first time I ordered I was a bit dubious (it'll take forever, language barrier, might get ripped off etc) but it went completely smoothly. I am now a regular customer. They accept Paypal payments, their delivery is free to UK and takes no more than two weeks (ten days, usually) and Winston is one of the friendliest most helpful people you could ever hope to encounter. In addition, they have stuff that we just cannot get in the UK - my latest four sets of BG70 spring to mind! I just wish the £/$ exchange rate would go back up to 1/2 so everything would be as cheap as it was when I first joined.
I have a question. I'm about to order from mybadmintonstore and I'm from the Philippines. If I order from them, will the items get delivered to my house directly or do I have to pick it up from somewhere? I plan to order shb-101 ltd blue and a pair of yonex socks. The total amount is 123$.
as long as you provide them with your shipping address... you just need to order, sit back and relax..
How it get's handled in the Phillipines has to do with your own postal system. In Canada they try to deliver to the home then leave a pick up note (if no one is home) to pick up at the closest postal outlet.
First time, it took time for me to get the stuff delivered... But after that, its all real quick. They just take time the first time to verify the address... After that, they dispatch the order as soon as they pack the item in stock...
shipping speed [MENTION=32212]em160[/MENTION], when you say your order only took 2 days to arrive in the US from my badminton store, did you use regular shipping or rush delivery?
