How do I shop on-line at Team Sports?

Shopping at www.americasteamsports.com is easy. At the very top of our website pages, you will find the following menus: Home, Sports, Brands, Departments, Customer Service, Team Uniforms and Sports Equipment. Click on any of these of menu items. Some will have drop-down boxes to further help you in your choices. You may also search our site by clicking on Search or Select A Sport located in the upper right corner. Our Home page also offers convenient links to various highlighted areas as well. Or click on any of the sports icons. Our check out cart is designed to accommodate 1 item at a time in the check out process. Once you select your item, you may return to the same product page to pick additional colors or sizes by clicking on your brower's back button or clicking on the "continue shopping" link (which will take you back to the Home page). If you are quick enough, you may be able to choose more than one product page choice at a time by quickly clicking on 'Add To Cart' in succession. Please be sure to review the number of items in the check out cart to avoid ordering more items than you want!! If you make a mistake simply delete the item entirely or change the quantity at the check out cart level. Once the change is made, click on "Update Price."

Some manufacturers we represent (such as Nike) have asked us not to use our check out cart for their products due to their particular internet policies. We regret the inconvenience this causes to our customers. If you see 'Call To Order' on a product page, please do call or email us!!! We are here to help you find what you are looking for.

 

Can I still order if I live outside of the United States?
Yes. But you must first contact us via email because your order will automatically be denied at our website. We apologize for the inconvenience. Past international fraud attempts by thieves using stolen credit cards have resulted in tighter security measures. Therefore, we have been forced to block all international credit cards at our system's check out cart level. However, we welcome Canadian and many other international customers. (For a list of countries we do not ship to please see our Shipping Policy section.) We will accept your credit card with the provision you provide us with a toll free phone number of your issuing bank. And your contact information, billing and shipping information must be identical. For your security, you may send us your contact and financial information in separate emails. Please be aware all international orders are at risk and we do not assume liability or responsibility should your items be lost or stolen in shipment. In addition, all international sales are final. There are no international returns or refunds. (For more information, please see our Shipping section.)
 

How do I purchase the items I've selected?

Find the item you want (See How do I shop at America's Team Sports? above). Make quantity, color, size (and other applicable selections), then Click on Add To Cart. The Order Summary page will appear. If you wish to continue shopping, click on the link "Continue Shopping..." or click on your brower's Back button. Otherwise, review your order in its entirety, and add any comments or notes in the box provided. Please carefully choose your most appropriate shipping method. There are several choices in the drop down box related to the number of items chosen, delivery times, and particular regions or status, such as military. To finalize the order, click on Checkout via Credit Card. If you have not logged in, please do so at this time or create a new account (See How do I establish my personal login account? above). Enter your contact information carefully and please review everything, especially your email address!! Proceed to enter your credit card information: Full name as shown on your card (Visa or Master Card only), the security code which is the last 3 digits on the BACK of your card, and the expiration date and click the Submit Order button.

Please, only click the Submit Order Button ONCE.

Wait for the process to complete the transaction. If not successful, it will say the order was denied and a reason should be given. Carefully review the information you entered. If still unsuccessful, try a different credit card or call us to investigate what may be happening.

Please note, a denial may be due to a mismatch of your address and the billing address on file at your bank. Have you moved recently or changed your name, has your card expired or been reported stolen? Recheck your credit card number (do not enter spaces!) and security code (last 3 digits) from the back of your card. Additionally, if your credit card is a non-U.S. bank issued card or you have an international address or phone number, your order will be denied. Do not try more than a few times. Every time you enter your card information and it is unsuccessful, even though you are not technically being charged for the attempts, your bank may still be authorizing the order amount which it 'holds' for several days. This is an automatic process because your bank's computer is waiting for a successful transaction in that amount to happen. It puts a 'reserve' on the funds from each attempt. For instance, if your order is $100 and you are denied, then you order again the same $100 and it is successful, even though you are charged only $100, your card's available credit amount may be lowered by $200 (or the order amount times the number of unsuccessful tries). This may inadvertently cause your card to hit its limit and further be denied at other institutions for at least a week! After about a week, the reserve amounts will automatically be removed and your full credit limit be restored. If you have any questions on denied transactions, please contact us or your bank. We have no control over what your bank does or its policies.

If the order is successful, a Receipt page will pop up. You may print this receipt by clicking on the link. Otherwise, the receipt will also be automatically emailed to the email address you provided. Again, please review your email address!!! If you are unsure if your order has gone through, please Contact Us to avoid the possibility of duplicate orders.

For products with "CALL TO ORDER" next to the price, you will not be able to use the check out cart process. Please call or email us. We will be happy to assist you and manually take down your information. Again, we make all reasonable attempts to keep your privacy and security in mind at all times. For phone orders, we will charge your credit card prior to ordering your items from the manufacturer or shipping items from our store. You should automatically receive an email (on our behalf from our merchant services company) indicating a transaction has been made. This will double as your receipt. We will also attempt to contact you with a follow-up confirmation email and again with tracking information should that information become available to us. We look forward to talking with you in person or via email!

 

How do I cancel an order?

Please Contact Us as soon as possible. If your order is being drop shipped from the manufacturer, it may be impossible to stop the shipment depending on when you notify us of cancellation. In which case, you may request a Return Authorization and receive a refund. However, we will only refund the item's purchase price (and sales tax, if applicable). Refunds will only be issued once the item is received in our store in California. Since we did not make a mistake in ordering, shipping will not be refunded and it is the customer's responsibility to pay for the return shipping. PLEASE DO NOT REFUSE SHIPMENT FROM THE CARRIER OR RETURN TO SENDER!!!! This will only delay your refund and may result in the order being lost. Shipping will still not be refundable. The customer is solely responsible for all returns being made to Team Sports in California unless otherwise instructed. We are sorry for the inconvenience and expense this may cause. Please be certain of your order, prior to completing the order transaction. Of course, if we are successful in cancelling the order prior to shipment from our vendors or store, we will refund the entire order amount. Refund exceptions do occur, however. A cancellation fee may be withheld by Team Sports at its sole discretion depending on why the order was cancelled, equaling 1% of the total order amount or other reasonable and fair fee to cover our merchant cancellation and transaction fees.

 

What if I need to return an order?

Please see our Return Policy page and/or Contact Us directly for a Return Authorization. All returns must have prior permission to return ship to our store at customer's expense unless a manufacturer's defect is involved. We understand, everyone makes occasional mistakes in choices and selections. And/or certain particular brands may not meet your expectations. As you know, the nature and convenience of the internet is not like going into a physical store and trying something on. You (and we) must rely on the manufacturer's descriptions, sizes and pictures or past experience with a manufacturer's particular sizing etc. We honor a 30 day return policy from purchase date as long as the item is in new condition and never worn or used. For more information, please see our Return Policy.

Though Team Sports is dedicated to providing quality merchandise, sometimes the inadvertent defect does slip through. When our vendors courtesy drop ship for us, we do not see the merchandise beforehand. We will work with you to make the return process as convenient as possible under most and reasonable circumstances. We discourage purchasing with the intent of returning items, however, as this is costly not only for you the customer, but also for us as merchants. However, as noted above, we do honor a normal 30 day return in most cases from date of purchase for unused items still in brand new condition (never worn or washed). Again, please refer to our complete Return Policy.

What if I don't have a credit card?

We realize not everyone even in this day and age has a credit card or wants to use a credit card over the internet. Should you need to pay for your merchandise using an alternate method, please call or email for prior permission. All forms of payment other than credit card must have prior Team Sports authorization. We will accept U.S. money orders for the exact total amount of the order. Money Order must be purchased ONLY from a United States Post Office (USPS) or U.S. major bank. No exceptions. We will not accept Western Union or any other non-USPS or U.S. bank money order. Any other money order will be refused, rejected and returned to sender. In certain rare instances, we will accept personal checks. All checks must be drawn on a United States bank or Credit Union, pre-printed with your name, address and phone number and for the exact total amount of the order. Your shipping address must be identical to the address on the check. No third party checks will be accepted unless payment is being made by a school or legal organization (certain requirements must be met. Please contact us.). Please allow enough time for your check or money order to arrive at our store and clear the bank, which could take up to 2 weeks. We will not order or ship any merchandise until your check has cleared or money order verified. We are not responsible for lost or stolen paper currency in the mails. Please DO NOT SEND CASH. We are not responsible for cash payments which may be lost or stolen in the mails. If paying in cash, you must personally come to our physical store at 1294 E. 1st Avenue, Chico, California 95926.

For any other questions or concerns, please contact us. Thank you!
