Delivery
This product will be shipped in July 2025.
Orders shipped outside Australia may be subject to additional duties and taxes. Additional duties and taxes are due on delivery and are your responsibility to pay. GST (10%) will be removed at checkout.
We use an eCommerce shipping system called Easyship which links up the best rates from different couriers. This gives you the best 3 options for your delivery. It'll give the cheapest, the best value and the fastest option. There are a couple things to note.
Aus Post:
Our favourite and usually the most reliable delivery option. Australia Post will collect on the same day we pack the order, usually around 1pm so orders before then are a good chance of being shipped out. Delivery time at checkout is usually correct.
The rest:
Usually a cheaper rate and mostly reliable. These couriers will collect the day after we pack the order which adds 1 day to the delivery time listed on the website.

Cricket Bats
Cricket bats are natural products. This means that there is a possibility that your JPGavan bat could break. We will always do our best to ensure durability in your bat, but wood is wood and any bat has the chance of having it's issues. Cricket bats can break for numerous reasons in numerous ways. Please follow our bat care guide to minimise the chance of this happening. Most of the time the bat can be fixed. We will not consider warranty for JPGavan products if they have:
1. Been damaged as a result of regular wear and tear
2. Been wrongly used or neglected or that have been repaired or modified without being certified by JPGavan
3. Become damaged through bad shots or have failed as a result of poor preparation and care. Most cricket brands don't cover damage to yorkers but we will cover damage which is the fault of the bat.
4. Had stickers removed.
5. Been made over 12 months ago. This includes if the bat has had none or minimal use. Cricket bats are made of natural materials that still need to be looked after without use.
If you would like to claim warranty please send us an email at Josh@JPGavan.com. When you send the bat in please order the free warranty check up so our system has a record of your bat coming in: https://jpgavan.com.au/products/full-bat-check-up
Repair or Replacement?
If a warranty claim is able to be repaired we will fix it up as quick as possible. If it is not repairable we will replace the bat. If a bat is repaired under warranty and the previous issue reoccurs we will automatically replace the bat. Wear and tear is normal on cricket bats and minor cracking may need to be maintained by the owner. All warranty claims will be thoroughly checked and considered by Josh Gavan at JPGavan and decisions will be made on a case by case basis at our sole discretion.
All warranty claims on bats purchased from JPGavan made within 12 months of purchase will be repaired for free if required. We will cover shipping within Australia. If the bat cannot be repaired a replacement of the same value will be issued, upgrades and changes are not available in warranty cases. Replacement bats are under warranty for the same period of 12 months from the original purchase, not from the date of issuing the replacement. If the bat is replaced within the last three months of the warranty period a period of three months will be added to the warranty starting from the date the new bat is issued.
Inaccurate play: If a false shot is played which makes damage to the sides, back, shoulders, toe or other areas of the bat, warranty will not be granted. This includes damage from carrying in bags, banging on the ground etc. JPGavan's decision is final on inaccurate play warranty claims.
In general cricket bats will be repaired at least once before a replacement or credit is given.
NO STICKERS, NO WARRANTY. If you request a JPGavan bat without JPGavan stickers it will not come with a warranty. If stickers are removed from a JPGavan bat warranty will be void. No exceptions.
Pads, gloves, bags and others
Soft gear (pads, gloves ect) will be replaced if there is a manufacturing fault within 3 months of purchase. General wear and tear is not covered. This is totally at the discretion of JPGavan.
