PSA For people who ordered balls from Schools Specialty

For those who ordered with schools specialty I would advise you to go check your order. We placed an order minutes after the game manual was released. The balls were in stock and the order was placed successfully. I went to check the status of my order on Monday and it said that the balls were back ordered. After speaking with their rep the estimated arrival time was the last week of February…

Luckily AndyMark had them in stock yesterday so we were able to place an order, unfortunately we got hit with a massive shipping charge compared to the free shipping at schools specialty. That is only a minor complaint as I would rather have game pieces in hand than try to save on shipping and miss them during the build season.

I thought I would share so teams would check and not fall victim to the back log at schools specialty.

Apologies for the new thread as I cant figure out how to successfully search for posts yet…

UPDATE: AndyMark saw my post and noted that something happened with the shipping charge and that they corrected it for me. Thanks andymark!!! If you notice a weird shipping charge give them a call as they may be able to adjust it for you.

This is good info. (Sad, but good.) My order just says “processing” and “shipping when available” but doesn’t mention being back ordered. Looks like I’m making some phone calls today.

Thanks for the heads up!

I ordered some red 13" playground balls from Gopher…hopefully they’re close enough to work. I think we might want to save our “real” ball for a few specific tests…

Thanks for the heads up, our team’s order also ended up being back ordered; guess it’s time to put our AM voucher to use.
