That being said, I’m not going to hassle you over “how many days” around Christmas, I know people shop in advance for the holidays. I just have to put a number out there so I don’t get a call saying “I bought this from you 2 years ago and stored it in my greenhouse, and now it’s warped and moldy”. And I had to put that “Unused” thing up there so no one says “I don’t believe in drilling pilot holes, but when I tried to drive a screw through the board it cracked! I want a new one!”
And really, even if you buy a board and then tell me “My neighbor said he’ll give me his old one, I haven’t used the one I bought, can I return it?”, I’m going to say “Send it on back, we’ll find a different home for it”.
There are two main reasons people wish to return items.
Reason #1 – “This dartboard has a gap between the scoring area and the frame!”. That’s true. It’s part of the manufacturing process, and is there so you can rotate the dartboard as it wears over time. I use a 1/16″ inch blade to make the cut, so there will be a gap that starts out at 1/16″ of an inch on the right, the left, the bottom and the top. If the board shifts or settles, there may be a zero gap on the bottom, and now a 1/8″ gap at the top. I can accept a return, but there is no replacement product that will not have that situation. It’s built into the product.
Reason #2 – “These darts are the wrong size!” The darts on offer currently are #1 size. Wisconsin and Upstate NY play games with wood darts that are larger – Size #2. If you are playing DARTBALL (underhand throws with a 7″ dart) these darts will NOT be what you expect. Also, if you play on a board that’s shaped like a diamond instead of a square when you look at it, these darts will be too small for you.
Ok, I know no one will read this, but that’s the info!
