Hi everyone

Was looking to buy a cricket bat and found this website, Online Stockist (https://onlinestockist.com/) who sell bats and other cricket equipment for cheaper than buying locally. I was wondering if anyone else has bought from them before, and since they're located in India, have there been any additional fees, duties etc. that you had to pay to get a bat to Australia.

Alternatively, are there any Australian stores you are aware of that sell bats at a low price?

Any help is appreciated

    Knowing our government, you will never receive the package of your bats and will be put on ASIS watchlist for importing "dangerous and lethal weapons of mass destruction".

    Also, that website has an SSL certificate issued by "Let's Encrypt" (free and provided to anyone), so I wouldn't really trust it with my bank card details… smells like a scam.

    Just buy local and save your efforts.

      I've seen people who have bought stuff from them and it's turned out fine, albeit their shipment was delayed. Just wondering if anyone bought a bat from them in Aus and had to deal with any extra charges.

    Does Aldi ever do a cricket bat special buy?

    I've used them in the past without issue. Delivery is generally around a week.

    Best to chat with them via WhatsApp to see actual pictures of bats, weights before proceeding to pay.

    You also save a little bit more if you pay in USD.

      So you weren't charged any extra duties or inspection charges? Because I've read that some people when they get a bat from India have had to pay additional inspection fees because its wood or whatever.

    Not in my experience.

    Bhai what bat do you want to buy? I know a lot of Indians import and sell themselves in their garages for decent prices in Melbourne. I am sure there will be plenty in Sydney as well, just check gumtree and Facebook marketplace for these sellers
