9. Product Condition & Grading
All clubs are graded according to the following standards:
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| New | Unplayed, in original wrapper or packaging with all original accessories. No signs of use. |
| Above Average | Light use. Minimal bag chatter, face in excellent condition with only minor marks. Grip in good condition. |
| Average | Moderate wear consistent with regular play. Some bag chatter and normal face wear. Playable without issue. |
| Below Average | Heavy wear, deep scratches, worn or replaced grip, or previously refinished. Still fully playable but shows significant use history. |
Condition is verified by a human inspector and documented with photographs. Grading is subjective and minor variations may occur. See Section 13 (Returns) for remedy if a club arrives materially different from its listing.
10. Pricing & Availability
Prices are listed in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless otherwise noted, subject to applicable sales taxes and duties at checkout. Stock is limited and conditions are one-of-a-kind; we reserve the right to cancel or delay orders if items become unavailable, and will process a full refund. Pricing may change without notice; the price you pay is the price at checkout.
11. Payment
We accept major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, and PayPal. Payment must be received before shipment. Transactions are processed by Shopify under their terms and fraud policies. By providing payment information, you warrant that you are the authorized user. Failed payments may result in order cancellation.
12. Shipping & Delivery
All orders ship from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Full rates, timelines, duties, and damage/loss procedures are described in our Shipping Policy. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery to the carrier. All shipments are insured for full purchase value; damage claims must be filed within 14 days.
13. Returns Policy
30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. You have 30 calendar days from delivery to request a return or exchange.
Eligible returns:
- Item is not authentically left-handed (mislabeled)
- Condition materially differs from listing
- Item is damaged in transit (with photographic evidence)
Non-eligible returns:
- Change of mind or personal preference

For defective or misrepresented items, we cover return shipping. For condition-related returns, you pay return shipping and we refund the original purchase price minus that cost. Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5–7 business days of receipt and inspection. We do not offer direct exchanges — return the item and place a new order.
14. Trade-In Program

See our Trade-In page for details.

- Turnaround time averages 6 weeks from arrival at Sublevel Golf
