D*ck's sporting goods return (good question)

[OHlax3544]

ive heard that d*cks doesnt really care about their lacrosse equipment...so i was wondering if ne1 has tried this...say u broke a shaft they carry...and its after the warranty...i was wondering if u could just take it in there n be like "well i dont have a receipt but they have a year long warranty neway and it beats sending it in so can i just do it through you?" and get a replacement shaft like that? i would try it but i dont have nething broken...

[laxcheese220]

ive never tried but id give it a shot

[allyearlax]

i think it would probably depend on the cashier. make sure the person is a lady and mad old.

[MainLax28]

or a young kid, who doesn't care, and maybe if you jerk a tear it might work. I highly doubt they would go for this though, they're not as stupid as you think.

[laxkid009]

or a young kid, who doesn't care, and maybe if you jerk a tear it might work. I highly doubt they would go for this though, they're not as stupid as you think.

at my local d*cks they r. i got 9 lax balls and said i had 4 the guy only charged me for for and then put the rest in the bag.

[THEHENRON]

why cant u just say **** instead of d*ck?

[allyearlax]

because there's little kids on the forum and we don't want them exposed to profanity. cough cough

[sharpshooterFTW]

ya i broke my 1st cyber and i went to the returns and they sent me back to get another 1. i switched the labels on a cyber and a profile and they took it. no prob.

[laxattack22]

why cant u just say ****s..its not bad its a name for crying out loud

[laxattack22]

why cant u just say d.i.c.k.s. the regular way...i dont get it,its not bad its a name but the computer puts the *'s

[lax4life6]

but some people say **** head and theres little kids on here

[Avs1103]

yea d.i.c.k.s is pretty stupid....i picked up a klyte dpole there by switching the sticker on it for a defense fiddle stick...they had no idea

[allyearlax]

problem is, most of the time, they only have shoddy stuff like crappy gloves and shafts

[Garor]

Say you got it as a gift and never got a recipt.

[Trilax03]

Say you got it as a gift and never got a recipt.

if u get some1 who won't really care...that idea will work...i've done it at other stores

[Orange]

If they don't know anything about lacrosse to begin with, I don't think they'd just accept a broken stick and give you a new one. They aren't gonna know how to go about with the warranty and likely won't want to deal with that.

[hjr432]

what is with you kids and stealing?

[Noodle-Salad99]

hey ill gladly do this stuff....its the store, A SPORTING GOOD STORE, that doesnt have the knowledge of the sport, so we capitalize on it, and get deals, and its not stealing either, its the employees fault for not havnig a slight knowledge about the sport, i do it all the time, got a couple of finalizers\razers\cybers\n torque for the price of a brine blaze bc they dont take the time to check it out, and think about what is goin on

[LaxBoozeWomen]

dude thats low.....and u dont need all that stuff.......jesus stop trying to find ways to cheat/steal/take advantage of others and HIT THE WALL.......

[EaglesLax22]

really dotn steal stuff or switch the stickers.

[spenny]

That is absoultely stealing, you can rationalize it however you want, but paying anything less than what the store says you should pay is stealing.

[OHlax3544]

well think of it this way...ur really just gonna rip off warrior if ur getting something warrior...ur just gonna pay near the wholesale price and its not really gonna hurt ****s..theyll prolly be making money still but not very much...i just wanted to know if you could trick em out of a warranty

[ExLax038]

well what happens when a store doesnt have a sticker on the stick at all and you get a bn torque for 39.99 because the people dont know how much it is or know what it is, is that stealing i dont think so...

[Gift_From_^^]

OHlax, you are mistaken. If you switch tags, you are not stealing from warrior, you are stealing from the store. Its not like warrior is selling the product directly to you. Warrior has been paid their full price for the product they sell to the store. The store sets the price according to how much they pay warrior. So if you pay 30$ for a evo pro from a sporting goods store, you are stealing for them, and chances are you are making them lose money on that deal. No matter how you justify yourself or put it, it is in fact stealing and it should stop. Just because someone dosnt "aknowledge" the sport? BS, give me a break. Dont try to justify your stealing. And the cashiers not knowing about lacrosse is not their fault. And just because they cant tell the difference between a cyber and a profile because of your tag switching dosnt make it ok. Their just doing their job, which is scanning tags, and to stop stealing TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE.

[LowRida]

well think of it this way...ur really just gonna rip off warrior if ur getting something warrior...

No you are not, ****s (I said it, so what) pays Warrior for that stuff and then acts as a middle man, so you ARE ripping off ****s. Also, what is with people wanting to steal, just get a job!

[sharpshooterFTW]

the secret to ****'s is to ask the cashier when they get their shipments in. useually nov. and a lil after the begining of feb.

[OHlax3544]

did i ever say i was stealing stuff? no so why dont u stfu bc u dont know what ur talking about..preach ur bs to some1 else who does..i had a simple question and dont need you to be a little ***** about everything

[finalizer28]

Yo don;t talk to your brother like that...WERE LAX PLAYERS and we should respect each other i mean were not baseball players and if there is one in here just get the hell out

Over and Out

[Formerlaxdemon]

Alright,

The people at DSG are completely inept. They have a policy to match the lowest price of any item and will lower the cost of an item if you bring in proof of a lower cost at another store. I went on to Laxshopper.com and printed off a nice list of unstung heads and their prices and brought that in hand today to DSG. I had hoped to find a Hype or Torque, but all they had were Bionics and Finalizers unstrung. Strung they had a few Brine Nitrous heads. I looked on one of the Finalizer heads and they had mislabelled it as a Brine Motive. Well folks, one of the heads I had printed out info on was the motive. To make a long story just a bit shorter, I ended up buying the Finalizer as a Motive, unstrung, for $56 before tax. The head says Finalizer, but because they mislabelled it as a Brine Motive the foolish and ignorant clerk didn't even care. But wait. How could this possibly get even better you might ask? Some kid had attached an unstrung Warrior Evolution to a Krypto Pro attack shaft. I brought that up intending to buy it etc. Well the clerk charged me a discount price for the unstrung Evolution, and not the shaft. I paid $85 for the whole thing. Good Lord. They really have no idea which end is up. I even tried to draw the clerk's attention to the discrepency, but he didn't care... and he was a manager.

[Brady]

That is absoultely stealing, you can rationalize it however you want, but paying anything less than what the store says you should pay is stealing.
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. You guys can pretend like you're not stealing---but you are. The end.

And in answer to the question regarding taking a shaft in there, I would be willing to bet that they would NOT do it because it's a ton of leg work for them and there's no way they're going to put themselves out to hook a (basically) non-paying "customer" up.

[Noodle-Salad99]

thats the problem....the people there dont care...as long as they get that check at the end of the week there satisfied....i may admit i find heads mislabled and i switch labels sometimes but they have no care in the world and they are prolly just happy people are there. whenever i go its all quiet and it isnt crowded so the cashiers are prolly bored out of there mind and dont care what the person is buying

[hjr432]

why should it matter whether the cashiers care or not? you are stealing, but keep trying to justify it. It's still stealing.

[Brady]

Think of it this way. If the cameras saw you switching price tags and then you checked out, what would security do?

If you answered "pinch you for shop lifting" then you're correct. If you answered "prolly nuthin'" enjoy juvie.

i asked my dad's friend about this (he's a lawyer) and he told me that if you genuinely plan to pay the whole price, and the cashier fails to ring it up, and you walk out of the store w/ the thinking that you paid for it then realize that you didnt, you are not at fault.

[kamikaze0188]

Wow you guys sicken me...


If you switch the tags to get a lower price, it is ILLEGAL. Period. Even if they make a profit, its still ILLEGAL. If the cashier doesn't notice that you switched the tags, its still ILLEGAL. Period.

How about all you thieves try going to an electronics store and switch a 60" plasma tv price sticker with a 10" black and white tv one and see what happens.

[OHlax3544]

If the cashier doesn't notice that you switched the tags, its still ILLEGAL. Period.

apparently its not...read this quote..the one right above urs..the one you failed to read...

and the cashier fails to ring it up, and you walk out of the store w/ the thinking that you paid for it then realize that you didnt, you are not at fault.

[lottaLaX]

Well, I was taught morals and I can tell you right now that switching tags is wrong and criminal. Also what the kid with the lawyer friend said was that you would need to genuinely intend to buy it fairly.

Try defending your genuineness in juvenile court when D*ick's video camera's are the prosecution.

[hjr432]

apparently its not...read this quote..the one right above urs..the one you failed to read...


SJ posted that If you GENUINELY plan to pay the price (Which means you CANT switch the tags) then it is legal. Kamikaze is saying switching tags is illegal.


Maybe YOU should read it.

[regulate34]

i wen to the place that sold me my powerplay and i broke it so i went in and said here is my head i bot like two weeks ago and try out srart in 4 days so i need a new head and they said that the best we can doo is sent it to stx and they will give you the replacement but i had tryouts and i told him i really need a new head so i told him to send in the head and he can keep the new one and ill take a new diffent head today (he was out of powerplays)
so he agreed and i grabed a trition wich is like 40$ more and i said k i got thew intrepid and he said ok and rung it up and i left it rocked

[lottaLaX]

That was incredibly hard to read, and just another glorious story of cheating.

[olax]

what is with you kids and stealing?
yeah really just save ur money and buy gear dont rip off ****s

[spenny]

wow, your mom must be so proud of you.

[tkdlaxer]

i totaly agree switching tags is stealing! however if the store mislabels a head ex. lables a evo pro as a patriot or somthing dumb like that and u dont switch the lables the store just screws up then i could see taking advantage of that but switching labels gimme a break guys

wow one person actually answered my original question..thankyou...just wanted to know if u could break something and they would give a new one back under warranty or if they would send it in to the company for you...no more *****ing people...question answered

[lottaLaX]

*****ing? Whether or not you want to face it, you are a tool for actually stealing something and trying to justify it.

[creeklax]

my team competes against all these snobby rich private schools that buy out the lacrosse stores and we get the shaft (no lacrosse pun intended) as far as funding goes. but we would never steal the stuff or switch tags or whatever you do to try to make urself feel better about doing it. thats just wrong.

Sure seems like I answerd your question pretty well, but you were too busy only reading answers that gave you the answer you wanted to hear.

[laxismynak]

i would steel but a&w pays enough for me to buy what i need

[laxattack8888]

I just read over this thread again and I just can't believe how low you guys are. Switching labels, taking advantage of less-ingeligent beings, this is really bad. I know the people at my Lacrosse store, so I wouldn't want to take advantage of them because I know how hard it is to keep a buisness running. Some of that stuff you do is just wrong.

[Eclipse]

I know kids who go to D*ck's and peel the sticker off a nice head and just stick it on an like a warrior aluminum shaft. Then they go to the checkout to some old woman who wouldnt know better. She only rings up the shaft and itsl ike 30 bucks. Then since the receipt only says that they bought a shaft, they go home and take off the head and just return the shaft and get there 30 bucks back. Then they get a nice head for free.

[i live 4 lax]

why cant u just say ****s..its not bad its a name for crying out loud
because theres a filter that filters it. and someone might not understand what **** means.

[Laxin2266]

I cant believe lacrosse players would pull this s*it, we not baseball players, are we??

[RockStar]

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. You guys can pretend like you're not stealing---but you are. The end......

If you,

-change a price tag,
-remove a price tag from a head and put it on top of a priced shaft,
-remove a price tag from a shaft and put a head on it,
-intentionally break something right before the one year mark just to cash in a warranty
-etc.

That's all stealing.

If you find a mislabelled item, carry it to the cash and pay for it, you're not stealing, you are just exploiting an error.....still unethical, but not illegal.

Happy shopping, folks.

[MinnetonkaLax]

rockstar thats where i draw the line to, if its labeled incorrectly, their fault, if you somehow change pricetags or any of that other stuff, thats plain stealing, no way around it

[HRodLAX]

i went to one D*cks and they had a cpro marked and in a chl2 box. Is that stealing? Really come on, if they are that inept, how could you say that you stole it? What do you say to that? do you go, you have the wrong price? How could you prove that it was a different price.

[MinnetonkaLax]

HRodLAX, ur case im fine with, its their fault, you didnt do anything wrong, u just took advantage of their mistake, which is fine by me

[bloodilax977]

Yeah, sure guys. If you're the kind of person that can walk into a store and steal a lacrosse shaft, then go for it. To let you know, that is exactly what you are doing.

[faceitoff]

dude thats low.....and u dont need all that stuff.......jesus stop trying to find ways to cheat/steal/take advantage of others and HIT THE WALL.......

What will hitting the wall do?

[thedamnedfan]

I think I got a mislabel today at ****s, I went in looking for a back up stick, found this Brine set up sitting ont the rack, last brine one. Grab it look at it, I think at the time its a **** head that ill just pinch, but realize that the head is a Motive and the shaft is a standard Ignite. Now I didnt know the pricing of it but I get home and check it. An Ignite runs around 40 and a Motive is about 70 strung, but the one I got has this horrible rubbery wire mesh so I was like, its a cheap factory stick. I ended up paying 40 bucks for it. IDK if some kid before me was trying to mess around before me or something but wow. That was a great deal I though, got it left. But yeah. Ive got over my stealing days, after getting caught for stealing YuGiOh cards from a grocery store.

[skip0l]

IT WORKS I'VE DONE IT!! the best is to go there n switch tags too, you can get some good stuff real cheap

i know right, my mommy tells me that

I hate D.I.C.Ks I went to buy a helmet and they were all missing their chin straps and that strap in the back of the helmet and the boxes were all messed up.

[crusaderlax39]

i took an e3 an put it on a k pro and took the sticker off the k pro then paid and they only charged me 75 for the e3

[Brandon303]

I hate D.I.C.Ks I went to buy a helmet and they were all missing their chin straps and that strap in the back of the helmet and the boxes were all messed up.
They probably all got stolen and messed up by the same little kids who enjoy scamming the store by switching price tags.

[wilsontopowell]

IT WORKS I'VE DONE IT!! the best is to go there n switch tags too, you can get some good stuff real cheap

what do you mean by switching the tags?

[zanderaruba]

i totaly agree switching tags is stealing! however if the store mislabels a head ex. lables a evo pro as a patriot or somthing dumb like that and u dont switch the lables the store just screws up then i could see taking advantage of that but switching labels gimme a break guys
i agree with u, u shouldnt switch the tags but if the store makes a mistake than thats ur fault

[GLAX16]

thats lame that you would switch stickers to get a better deal on a shaft. If there mislabled in the first place thats there fault, but if you would actaully go as low as to switch the stickers yourself thats pretty messed up man.

[schratxs20]

well td i went tp sports authority and there was no tag on the proton power, so i looked around for something and put a guru on it...the price was 24 bux but i have to go back and get it

[UNCdefense]

anyone in the charlotte area, the new mall(northlake) has the best d.i.c.k.s. sporting goods for lacrosse ive ever been in...they have loads of apparel, tons of different heads...new & old helmets....cages(on display(as in they have a lacrosse cage hanging from the ceailing on disply)...i mean come on how cool is that)....rebounds....basically anything u want...if you start to get like picky on heads & stuff they don't have every head out but i took a glance yesterday & they had like a revo, evo, revo pro, evo pro, razer, e3, finalizer, cyber, vapor, etc....(the more popular heads)
so charlotte area guys go hit that stuff ^

[quickslick444]

A friend of a friend of a friend :grin: switched the price sticker on macdaddys with some 40 dollar gloves. He bought macdaddys for 40bucks!!

[Teo]

nice.... Well at the dicks in Minnesota there isn't anything lacrosse related thats over like 50$. it basically all SUCKS. I would never do anything like that, but also im the kind of kid where like 10 people are in the section switching tags and running out with deals, and I pick up a stick where someone switched the tags and the security runs in and tackles me.

[pauls1988]

A kid on my team went into D*ck's with a three-years-old broken razer and told them he bought it there and threw away the receipt. They gave him a brand new evo pro.

[blaine]

DSG and all the other stores that this is happening to will probably find out. someone will see a kid switching tags and bust them. and for the whole warranty thing, they will probably figure that out too, and who knows maybe they will get rid of warranties all together(the store not the manufaturer). and then you all are srewed.

[slice n dice]

A friend of a friend of a friend :grin: switched the price sticker on macdaddys with some 40 dollar gloves. He bought macdaddys for 40bucks!!

There's no way dsg had Macs in their store period, and as for my sports authority they never have any mislabels and there are no dsg around where I live.
