We lost 2 weeks of practice time waiting for the right balls and didn't get them - I could have just gone to Wal-mart and bought generic kickballs.

Still considering whether or not to return them and demand a refund including shipping charges - anybody else thinking about that?

My vote would be nay.. cut them some slack, they had to place 950 orders for prob. around 15-20 balls a piece right after the holliday season. They were probably under maned. We got our balls late, and we got the wrong ones also, but we'll deal they are still good to design around and practice with.

Re: Where to buy Balls?

WE STILL havn't got our balls, we have managed to find an american airbase where we know somoene who will take the delivery for us. They wont ship to anywhere outside the uk unless its american army, ie they dont have to pay tax. We have found an alternate supplier who might be willing to send them to us provided its ok with our mate in teh usaf.
You moan about losing 2 weeks we have not started yet.... and its already 3 weeks into the competition
