Does LGB ever do promo codes? I have a credit there from a poor quality prior order but with $10 shipping on a dozen balls it's hardly worth it...

One of the members who have an issue with them should invite LGB into this thread. Hate seeing a site sponsor getting beat up and not knowing about it.

I had the same exact issue as the previous poster with LGB, approximately 1/3 of my order was at least 1 grade below what I ordered, and 3 or 4 weren't even the correct ball (I ordered 100 Lethals). After emailing customer service they told me to send back the ones I was unsatisfied with for replacements.

I've been a loyal LGB customer; probably 10-15 orders with them with only a minor issue here and there, and would normally split with a buddy to get to free shipping threshold. I really enjoyed the Tour Practice ball deal they had early this spring; that worked out amazingly well.

I actually had a positive experience on the Pro V1x bucket I purchased from LostGolfBalls. Of the 48, I think only 3 or so were what I would consider worse than described.

Feedback

Lost Golf Balls is the only place I will purchase used balls. Have been doing it for more than a decade and have had a fantastic experience. I do stick with the highest rated and while occasionally get a less than perfect ball, overall very happy.

Feedback

I just received 8 dozen 5A project a balls that all look like lake balls and the ones that don’t are marked refurbished. Not happy at all. First and only business I’ll do with them. There’s not a single 5A ball in the bucket.
