 Frequently Asked Questions 

Whether you're choosing your next bowling ball, checking shipping details, or wondering how returns and warranties work, we're here to help. We've answered some of the most common questions about shopping with Bowling Fanatix so you can find the information you need and shop with confidence.

Yes. Every product we sell is brand new, authentic, and sourced directly from manufacturers or authorized distributors — the same first-quality gear we’d roll ourselves.

Yes. All bowling balls we sell are first-quality and undrilled unless clearly stated otherwise. We do not carry factory seconds or blemished inventory.

No. We don’t participate in brand staff programs or paid endorsement deals. Our recommendations are unbiased and based entirely on what’s best for your game — not a brand contract.

That’s what we’re here for. If you’re unsure which ball, bag, or shoes fit your style, reach out — we'll help you narrow it down based on your experience level, lane conditions, and goals.

No pressure. Just real guidance from bowlers who know the game.

Orders placed Monday–Friday before 1:00 p.m. Pacific Time are typically processed the same business day (subject to availability). Orders placed after 1:00 p.m., on weekends, or holidays ship the next business day.

If an item is on pre-order or temporarily unavailable, we’ll reach out right away. Tracking information is emailed within 24 hours of shipment.

Delivery time depends on the shipping method selected at checkout.

Most economy and ground shipments arrive within 1–8 business days after your order ships. Expedited options (2-Day and 3-Day) are also available.

Transit times are estimates and may vary due to carrier delays, holidays, or destination. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii may require additional time.

FREE economy ground shipping is available on orders $30+ (merchandise subtotal before tax, after discounts) within the contiguous 48 U.S. states, excluding roller bags.

Orders under $30 ship for a flat rate of $5.95 (merchandise subtotal before tax, after discounts) within the contiguous 48 U.S. states.

Roller bags have separate destination-based shipping rates within the contiguous 48 U.S. states. Some destinations qualify for FREE roller bag shipping.

Alaska and Hawaii are subject to calculated shipping rates at checkout.

Most orders ship from Elk Grove, California. Depending on availability, some items may ship from other U.S. distribution locations to get your gear to you as quickly as possible.

Not at this time. We currently ship within the United States while we focus on delivering the speed and reliability our customers expect. We plan to expand internationally in the future.

We offer a 30-day return window on eligible items. Products must be brand new, unused, and undrilled.

Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility, and a restocking fee applies to orders that originally qualified for Free Shipping.

You can find full details on our Return Policy page anytime.

Yes — as long as they’re still brand new and unworn. Please try them on indoors on a clean, dry surface. Once they’ve been worn on the lanes, or have been soiled in any way, then they are no longer eligible for return.

We don’t offer drilling services at this time. Ball drilling is highly personal and depends on your hand fit, span, and release. For the best performance and comfort, all balls ship undrilled and should be drilled by a trusted local pro shop.

If you’d like a specific gross weight, pin placement, or top weight, include your preferences in the order notes at checkout.

If no preferences are provided, we’ll ship the first available ball in your selected weight from our inventory.

If you need to make a change, contact our customer service team as soon as possible by phone or email. We’ll do our best to help, but once an order enters processing, changes cannot be guaranteed.

Please have your name and order number ready so we can assist you quickly.

Occasionally, delays can occur due to inventory updates, carrier issues, or peak shipping periods. If your order is affected, we’ll notify you promptly and work to resolve it as quickly as possible.

If you have questions, feel free to reach out — we’re happy to help.

Manufacturers occasionally update product colors, logos, or design details. While we work to keep images current, slight variations may occur.

Rest assured, you’ll always receive the correct model and authentic first-quality product you ordered.

We don’t currently offer price matching. Instead, we focus on fair, competitive pricing, fast shipping, and knowledgeable support from bowlers who understand the game.

Not at this time. As we continue to grow, we plan to expand our offerings. Gift cards may be part of that down the road.

No. Bowling balls and accessories are covered under separate manufacturer warranty policies, each with its own terms, timelines, and requirements. Warranty approval is determined by the manufacturer, not Bowling Fanatix.

Learn more about manufacturer warranties here.

Returns follow our Return Policy and apply to eligible, unused items within the return window. Warranty claims cover manufacturer defects and are reviewed directly by the manufacturer after purchase.

We’re always happy to help guide you through the process.
