Bought a Barrage on ebay in March. Verified that it was not from the 1st batch. Took it out of plastic bag and wrapper this past Sunday (6-1-2014). 80 degree day. After the 5th swing, bats paint started chipping. Some came off about 1" x 2" size.
Every swing more came off. Stopped at about 10 swings. I know there is no warrenty, but I feel this is ridiculous. Any contact number for Reebok or any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

How were you able to verify which batch the bat was from?

Emailed them. They told me they waited to place their order because they new of the problem the original batch had.

So let me get this straight....

Somebody that you emailed informed you that it was a different batch without any sort of proof?

Did you email your story to the person that told you that you have a 2nd batch bat?

You should send it back to Reebok

Send it with a letter asking for a refund explaining that you have been a loyal Reebok customer and the bat started to peel after 5th hit be sure to give them your contact information. When I did this they contacted me right when they got it and gave me a full refund.
Good Luck

I have a Reebok barrage that broke within 40 swings as much as i like reebok..they have no durability at all..this is getting rediculous..i have a second bat..the melee end load with 25-30 swings on it and its broke as well..reebok does nothing about them..hmm starting to second guess my own smarts..

Was your bat verified?

I have no idea what it means to have my bat. Verified 707-889-0208 can text me info or call. Thanks

Read the above posts from dandy12....

According to dandy12 you send an e-mail to somebody and somehow your bat gets verified.

What ever that means....

Maybe that's like having the bat blessed or something.

curtiss, my bat arrived at the sddress you gave me today. waiting for a response. Do you have the number that they called you from ?
Thanks for the info.

Sent a Barrage back with less than 40 hits (30oz) and it was received on May 29th. I heard from them Friday saying they were sorry for the failure and that a full refund check would be issued in 5 to 8 weeks. Now it you just reviewed and approved refund why does it take so long to get the money refunded???????????

How did they contact you ? Phone, email ?
Do you have that info ?
Thanks

I actually sent my Barrage back to Reebok with the info Alan gave me. They then contacted me by phone to inform me they would send a refund check for the full amount in 5 to 8 weeks. The check arrived in less than 2 weeks.

They contacted me by e-mail Jeff.Guillaume@reebok.com.

I used the info supplied by Alan Tanner as always a good source of info. There was not a phone number available.

Thanks

Thanks to all that helped. All the information was correct. I should be receiving my refund check in 5-8 weeks. Worth a try if you have a bad one.

Actually just got refund check. It took (3) weeks.
