Bat Club USA Switch Fees Explained

Welcome to the Bat Club USA Help Center! We understand that managing your bat subscriptions and making changes can sometimes be confusing. This article is designed to clarify our switch fees, associated with our bat switch service, to help you understand how they are applied and why they are a crucial part of our shipping and handling process.

Understanding Switch Fees

At Bat Club USA, we offer a unique service that allows members to switch their bats during their subscription period. Whether you're looking for a new model or need a different size, our switch service is designed to meet your needs. However, facilitating these switches incurs costs on our end, primarily related to shipping and handling. As such, we have instituted switch fees to cover these expenses.

Please note: Switch fees are not refundable. Once a switch is processed, the fee is applied to cover the shipping, handling, and administrative costs associated with the switch.

Types of Switch Fees

We offer two types of switch services, each with its own fee structure:

Ship Now: This option allows you to receive your new bat before returning your current one. It's designed for members who cannot afford to wait for a switch and need a new bat immediately, often because they have multiple items at the same time or an urgent need for a different bat.
Return My Item First: With this option, you'll need to return your current bat before the new one is shipped out to you. This process takes a bit longer but is more cost-effective.

Why Ship Now Fees Are Higher

The "Ship Now" fees are higher than the "Return My Item First" fees for a few reasons:

Immediate Shipping: We prioritize the shipping of your new bat, ensuring you receive it as quickly as possible, often before your return is processed.
Inventory Management: Handling multiple items simultaneously requires more complex inventory and logistical management.
Increased Shipping Costs: Shipping two bats in two different directions (one to you and one back to us) incurs higher shipping costs.

Fee Structure

Ship Now Fee: MVP - $75, Pro $85
Return My Item First Fee: MVP - $0, Pro $30

These fees are determined based on the average cost of shipping and handling for bats within the United States and are subject to change based on carrier rates and operational costs.

How to Request a Switch
