Question 1

How long does it take for my new machines to arrive?

Accepted Answer

Our standard lead time is around 12 weeks from the moment your order is confirmed (i.e. contract signed) to installation at your venue.
As a rough breakdown:

- 2 - 4 weeks for manufacturing
- 6 weeks for shipping
- 1- 2 weeks for customs clearance and final delivery

These timings can vary slightly due to things like weather or delays at ports — but we’ll always keep you updated along the way.

We'll keep you updated via email at every key stage: production start, completion, shipping, arrival in-country, and installation date confirmation. Prefer WhatsApp? Just let us know!

What are the initial costs involved?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there's a one-time upfront fee covering manufacturing, customization for your club, and shipping. After that, there are no additional upfront costs. In fact, we pay you!

Question 5

If we renew our contract after the initial term are there any extra charges?

Accepted Answer

No — there are no fees or hidden costs for renewing. The contract simply rolls forward at no extra charge.

Question 6

How much do you charge once the machines are up and running?

Accepted Answer

We don’t charge any rental or other ongoing fees for our machines. 
Instead, we use a simple revenue share model in your favour, which can be tailored depending on how you'd like the stock to be provided to the machines.

What if a customer rents a racket and forgets their password?

No problem — we manage the racket rental lockers remotely.
Our contact details are clearly displayed on the machines 21" display, so the customer can just give us a call or message us directly. We'll sort it out for them on the spot.

What happens if a racket isn't returned on time?

If a racket isn’t returned — for example, after a designated amount of time, we send an automated message to their mobile device with a reminder of their code and a request to follow the retunr process.

If the racket isn't returned after this we’re able to charge the renting customer the full value of the racket, as if they have bought it.
