Got a couple of new cues last week but as I was quite disappointed with both, I didn't run and put them pictures up in here.
One of the cues is a Stamford Series 1 which was perfect upon arrival but genius me damaged it right after using it for the first time :livid:
Here is how it Happened:
So I have this old riley rack next to my snooker table holding all them old cues I got with the table back in the 90's... After playing a few good shots with the new stamford and admiring it I decided to try the 2nd new cue and so I put the Stamford up on that rack instead of laying it back in its case which is what I would normally do.
The next day I went back to the table already with the camera and before shooting them photos i decided to make a few shots with my new ladies... and that's when I noticed that my brand new Stamford has little scratches around the ash shaft.
The funny thing is I didn't realize right away what caused this and after running all the possible scenarios in my head I could only blame Stamford themselves for delivering me with a damaged cue or one of my enemies entering my garage and damaging my new cue.
So I went back home writing Stamford an email about my new cue being damaged. It was before they answered that I realized what might have caused the scratchers and going back to the table and looking at the rack and the spot where the scratches are on the new cue I was definitive that the scratches were caused by it.
So I wrote them a second email telling them about my revelation and about how it was stupid me who's fault it is.
Their reply was that it's very sad about the cue and that those kind of racks have a tendency to that to cues. They also said that the scratches can be removed but that it will take some work and that the costs for the postage plus the work on repairing the cue will have to be covered by me.
I understand me having to cover the postage costs but do you guys think it normal that I have to pay for the repair costs?! I bloody damaged the cue on the first day after receiving it!!! I don't know maybe it's normal I'm just so upset about the whole thing that I don't have any will to send it back or do anything about it now.
anyways here's some pic's of the rack and of the scratches on the cue. The scratches can hardly be seen but unfortunately they are there
