About Us

Galaxy Cricket was formed by a bunch of Cricketers in 2000. Our vision was to supply Cricket Goods from top suppliers at a fair price, thus enabling us all to enjoy our game more. We are a trading style of First Test Sports and are part of the Which? Webtrader Scheme. We also supply clubs with a range of top quality customised club wear such as Match Shirts, Cricket Sweaters, Tracksuits and Shorts amongst many other items of leisurewear.  We can manufacture all items in club colours and personalise them in embroidery or print. Full details of our range are available on request. We hope that you enjoy shopping with us, and if we can be the source of any further information, please do not hesitate to drop us an email.

How To Purchase Goods

We have made buying from Galaxy Cricket as simple as possible. Our shopping basket will store items you have placed within it for up to four hours. Each item for sale will have an order button. When you press this button you are taken to the order-processing page where the item will be automatically added to your basket. To view items in the shopping basket and amend them accordingly simply click on the 'show order' section.

You can input how many of each item you would like, decide to continue shopping, remove an item from the basket or check out and place your secure order. It is at this time you would be asked for your name and address and then your credit card details if the shop has online authorisation.

Accepted Payment

Paying online is simple. We accept all major credit cards including Mastercard, Visa, American Express as well as Delta, Switch, Solo and JCB debit cards. For more details see above. If you place an offline order you will be contacted by one of our representatives to arrange payment - this will usually be by cheque or postal order. Please make cheques and postal orders payable to:

Is my transaction secure?

Every on-line transaction made within Galaxy Cricket is transmitted across the Internet using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. This industry standard method ensures that information sent from your browser is scrambled whilst in transit and decoded when it arrives on our server. You are far safer using your credit card within Galaxy Cricket than you are in a restaurant in your local high street. We take the issue of security very seriously and have taken every step possible to protect you. Our servers sit behind a state of the art hardware firewall.

What if I have problems ordering?

Common reasons for problems when pressing the order button are;
i) You are using an old browser that doesn't support SSL encryption.
ii) You are browsing from behind a corporate firewall that will not allow secure connections. Speak to the system administrator at your office. They will either rectify the problem or you will have to order from another location. To check, point your browser to https://www.microsoft.com/ if you cannot connect to the Microsoft secure server it is likely that one of the above faults apply. If you are able to connect to Microsoft please call our hotline number and report the fault to us. We will assist you if we can.

When is my credit card debited?

Your card will not be debited until your order is ready for despatch. This ensures that we only charge you for the goods you will receive should you decide to either change your original or if we are only able to send you part of the order. In the event of part orders being shipped to you, we will only charge your card with the amount relating to the goods sent. Once the balance of your order is ready for despatch, we shall automatically debit the remaining balance from your card. However, please note that we will not charge you additional carriage. Card refunds will be made in the unlikely event that you are dissatisfied with your purchase.

What happens if my card authorisation fails?

If the authorisation fails, the most likely explanation is that you have input your card details incorrectly. We will receive your order anyway and will contact you to verify your card details or to arrange for alternative methods of payment.

What risks are involved in buying online?

All personal data, including your card number is transmitted over secure connections, meaning that no one can 'eavesdrop' and capture your details. You are also protected since all transactions are carried out as 'Cardholder Not Present'. This means that any payments will be refunded to your card should it be used fraudulently by someone else or you do not receive what you ordered.

Stock Levels, Prices and Product Development

Our products are offered subject to availability and although we carry large stocks all year round, we do run out of certain items from time to time. If for any reason we cannot supply you with any part of your order we will contact you via email or phone to advise you.

Prices are subject to change without notice and include VAT at 17½%.

Due to our policy of continual product development, we reserve the right to change, modify and delete items and services sold on this website without notice.

What if I do not receive my goods?

Please wait 28 days if you are in the UK or 35 days if you are overseas. If you do not receive your goods after this period of time, please contact us on info@galaxycricket.co.uk with your order number to hand. This number will be included in the e-mail you received when you ordered the goods from our shop. We will strive to resolve the issue immediately.

What if my order is incorrect, incomplete or goods have been damaged in transit?

If on receipt of your order you find that it is incorrect in any way, incomplete or any of the items are damaged, you must contact us within 48 hours of receiving the parcel. We will do our best to identify the problem and take immediate remedial action where necessary. Please note that if we have sent you the wrong item(s), we will refund your return postage in full. Items sent to you incorrectly, short of ordered quantities or replacements for damaged items will be despatched to you free of carriage costs.

Returns Policy on all items except Cricket Bats

We guarantee all of our products to be free of defects for 12 months. If you receive a defective product, please email us at info@galaxycricket.co.uk to arrange an exchange or refund. We aim to replace any defective items with replacements. If this is not possible we shall refund you immediately. Exchanged items will only be sent after we have received the defective item back from you in its original packaging at your own cost. Please consult our contact details for the return address.

Returns Policy on Cricket Bats

At Galaxy Cricket we believe in simply supplying the best quality bats at every price point. Unlike other internet companies we have carefully selected only those bat manufacturers that we believe will meet our strict criteria. All bats supplied by the manufacturers are checked individually by our experts on delivery to our distribution centre for quality of willow, pick up and balance, overall finish and general performance. Any bats that do not meet our high standards are rejected and returned to the manufacturer. However, cricket bats are entirely made from natural products and due to the unpredictable nature of the raw materials as well as high impact nature of the game itself, even the best products can fail occasionally. If your bat is damaged in any way beyond the expected surface cracks or you are dissatisfied with it, contact us at once and we will deal with your enquiry immediately. If the bat is damaged you must stop using it as further use is likely to worsen the problem and may affect the Warranty conditions. We will normally ask you to return the bat to us for further inspection by the relevant manufacturer. If the bat is within its warranty period, the manufacturer, at their discretion will either repair or sometimes replace it free of charge. The decision to repair or replace is entirely the manufacturer's. It is final and no further correspondence will be entered into.  

No Quibble Money-Back Guarantee

If you are not happy with your purchase, simply return the unused goods in their original packaging to us within 14 days of delivery and we will happily replace the item(s) or refund your money in full. We cannot however refund any carriage costs.

Acknowledgement of Orders

We will acknowledge all orders by e-mail.

Privacy Policy

We guarantee that we will not pass your details to any other company without your permission. In such a case we would contact you by phone or by email to gain your consent. Any personal data will not be transferred out of the EEA. If you do not give us your consent, all information received from you will be kept completely confidential and will not be disclosed to any other party.

The terms and conditions do not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
