How do you offer such great prices?
Quantity pricing from our distributors and efficient operations allow us to
pass on the cost savings to you in the form of deep discounts off the retail
price of the equipment.
Do you sell factory seconds or blems?
We are proud to say that all of our items are original factory first,
brand-name models. Unlike some internet or mail order companies, we never
buy, sell or advertise blems, "seconds," or defective merchandise. Your ball
driller will be able to easily identify your purchase as a factory first.
Can people outside the United States order from Bowling Index?
Yes, Bowling Index ships bowling supplies to all nations that do not have
trade restrictions imposed on them by the U.S. Government.
I can't find the product I want on the web site?
More products are being added to the web site every week. If you are looking
for a particular item and can't find it on the web site, Email us at
sales@bowlingindex.com 24 hours a day.
What do I do if my merchandise is damaged during shipment to me?
We take great care to ship your merchandise safely so that it will arrive in
perfect condition. If in the unlikely event that your product is damaged in
shipment, we will arrange to have it replaced.
Are credit card transactions on Bowling Index Safe?
Absolutely! In fact, it's statistically safer to use your credit card over
the Internet than in a restaurant or department store. All Bowling Index
servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works
with Firefox, Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer and AOL's browser so
that only Bowling Index can read a buyer's personal information.
Does Bowling Index charge sales taxes?
State laws require companies to collect sales tax from residents shipping
merchandise to states where the company has established offices. The Bowling
Index main office and warehouse operations are in California; we are,
therefore, required to collect sales taxes on orders shipped to locations in
the state of California.
Will I be notified if an item is not available?
Yes, you will be notified via email if an item is not available or
backordered indefinitely within 24 business hours.
How do I return or exchange and item?
Please see our Return Policy, fill out the form and email to us.

shirts and the stitches involved.
