Jessica Weese Tour Support Signature Stamp

We’re excited to announce that we now have Jessica Weese’s Tour Support Signature Stamps available on four molds:

Star Destroyer
Star Wraith
Champion Thunderbird
KC Pro Aviar

Click “Select Your Disc” and find her stamps! Alternatively, you can use Advanced Disc Search and sort by Stamp and Brand and find her stamp, as well as other Pro stamps.

Jessica picked these four molds that she wanted to see her tour support stamp on. These stamps support Jessica’s on her tour! This is the first time we’ve had a Pro Signature Stamp made to stamp on several molds, and it’s a program we hope to continue with many pros. (Be on the lookout for a cool Garrett Gurthie stamp soon!)

 

Disc Golf Growth – How do we “Grow the Sport”

Disc golfers have been purposeful and proactive about growing their sport since Steady Ed Headrick installed the first permanent ‘Pole Hole’ course in Pasadena, California more than 40 years ago.

Most of us are familiar with the hashtag #GrowTheSport (and the more recent #GrowDiscGolf). The shared belief behind the rallying cry began with the first disc golf pioneers and became an integral part of the sport’s very personality as it spread to the next generation of new players, and then the next. The conviction that we have a duty to share the sport is encoded in the DNA of every diehard player and has been for decades, long before the advent of social media.

The 2018 State of Disc Golf survey asked several questions that sought to measure and identify the details of this most singular aspect of the sport— a topic which is finally attracting some well-deserved attention. Disc golf’s unstoppable and organic grassroots growth machine is empirically obvious, observable in thousands of communities around the world. In my new book, The Disc Golf Revolution, I dedicate an entire chapter to it and provide numerous examples from around the world. Answers to one question posed in the survey add a degree of quantification to one of the book’s main assertions: disc golfers do more than talk the talk.

Paige Pierce growing the sport by teaching newbies to play disc golf.

When asked “In 2017, which did you do to grow the sport,” 88 percent of the 5,952 who responded said they had introduced at least one new person to the game, and 83 percent said they had given discs or other equipment to a prospective or new disc golfer. More than 20 percent said they had participated in local government affairs in support of disc golf. That is 1,260 people from this small sampling alone who are attending city council meetings and calling their representatives at minimum, with many also dedicating countless hours to work hands-on in partnership with civic leaders. Aside from its broad appeal and accessibility, this is the main reason disc golf enjoys such robust growth and can look forward to more of the same. Other impressive results included:

  • Helped physically install a new course (16 percent)
  • Ran a tournament or similar event (15.9 percent)
  • Ran a disc golf league (14.4 percent)
  • Ran an event or clinic aimed at attracting new players (11.6 percent)
  • Designed a disc golf course (9.8 percent)

If we were forced to identify from these responses something the disc golf community might do better in the future, I would point to the fact that the responses are lower for running an event to bring in new players than for running disc golf leagues and tournaments. The latter are aimed mostly at players who are already enamored with the sport, whereas the former seeks to bring new people into the fold.

Tipping Point?

Other survey questions sought to determine the rate of growth in disc golf, and whether it is accelerating in recent years (Spoiler Alert: the answer is ‘Yes’). The answers corroborate player and course growth data that is already available from the Professional Disc Golf Association and DGCourseReview.com, and I believe they also indicate an important shift in the public perception of disc golf. Whereas growth in the past was almost entirely due to the unceasing efforts of those early disc golf pioneers — steady progress despite stiff headwinds — today the efforts of an even greater number of disc golf diehards are bolstered rather than buffeted by external forces. They are more often welcomed now, if not summoned, by local governments and school officials.
Infinite received more than 11,000 replies to the survey question ‘When did you begin playing golf?’ Nearly 75 percent named a year between 2006 and 2018, and less than 20 percent selected 2000 or earlier.

A closer examination of the more recent years helps us to nail down when the shift I mentioned began. 2006-2010 accounts for 16.5 percent, while nearly half of all respondents indicated a year between 2013 and 2017.

Another question asked disc golfers how many permanent courses within a 10-mile radius of their homes had been added and deleted in 2017, and the responses unsurprisingly reflected growth across the board. 20 percent of the 6,230 survey takers reported one new course, and 5 percent reported 2 or more. Less than one in 10 reported a course closure near them in 2017, a figure that looks strong compared to the ‘courses added’ responses. But that number will likely fall even lower as the sport’s popularity continues to rise and less courses are installed on a provisional basis.

All the available data from Infinite and elsewhere confirm that disc golf has entered a new phase of growth. The world is noticeably more receptive to and knowledgeable about the game, and the pace of its expansion is ratcheting higher and higher. The foundation of organic, grassroots support? It’s alive and well, bigger and stronger than ever.

The Infinite Discs MYTH and SPHINX

Infinite Discs is continuing to build a balanced line of branded discs manufactured by Innova. The 2018 year has already brought the Exodus fairway driver, the Chariot mid-range, and the Pharaoh distance driver. We’ve now added to more discs to that lineup, both released at the end of April 2018.

THE MYTH

The Myth First Run is in P-Blend plastic, which is a stiff pro blend which works great for both driving and putting. There was also a first run VIP Club edition in grippy X-Blend plastic. Though the VIP Club stamped versions were only available to the VIP Club members, there were a few of the X-Blend discs remaining which were bottom-stamped if you want a grippy version of the Myth. You can find the few remaining X-Blend Myth putters HERE.

THE SPHINX

The first run Sphinx was released in I-Blend plastic which is a special blend made by Innova for Infinite Discs. It is durable, yet has good flexibility and grip. This is a great disc for beginners and experienced players alike and is available in a variety of weights from below 150 grams (awesome for kids) up to max weight 175 grams.

Check out this wonderful video review which also shows the flights patterns for the Sphinx.

Watch for more discs coming on the Infinite Discs brand in 2018!

State of Disc Golf 2018 – Our Disc Buying Habits

It is always interesting, particularly for those of us working in the disc golf industry, to look at the State of Disc Golf survey responses concerning spending habits and what motivates players to buy discs. Of course, just playing the game at all requires a certain number of discs. But how many of us go beyond what we really “need” to play the game when it comes to purchasing more and more discs?

When a few thousand players were asked to say if these statements described their disc purchasing attitudes, these were the results:

I Primarily Stick With Discs I Already Know and Throw

I Regularly Try New Molds By My Favorite Brands

I Regularly Try New Discs, Regardless of Manufacturer

I Only Buy New Discs to Replace Lost Discs

I Buy Discs Primarily to Collect

I Throw Every Disc that I Buy

From the above results, a few things can be noted. For one, people tend to experiment more with favorite manufacturers, though there is a good number (majority) of players who don’t mind experimenting across brands.

It also looks like it is a minority that only buys to replace lost discs– that means more players are buying for other reasons. One of those reasons might be collecting, but when asked if they only buy to collect, the vast majority didn’t feel like that described their buying habits. Around 25% swayed toward buying to collect, if only occasionally.  The last graph shows that despite the motivation for buying, the majority of those surveyed throw every disc that they buy. Only 17.4% does not throw all of their purchased discs.

How Likely Are We To Pay Extra for the Stamp?

Another motivating factor for buying discs is the design of the stamp on the disc. We asked survey participants how likely they are to pay extra for a special stamp in the same mold, weight, and color that they could have purchased in a cheaper, stock stamp. Though the “buy to collect” market may be small, the larger “buy to throw” contingency is definitely not opposed to spending more for a stamp design that they like.

How likely are you to pay extra for a special stamp in the same mold, wight and color as the stock stamp?

That is only 14.7% that claims it is very unlikely that they’d pay more for a cool stamp design on their disc.

We’ll continue to follow disc purchasing trends and opinions closely!

State of Disc Golf–Disc Golf Tournaments

The 2018 Glass Blown Open is in the books! This annual event is considered one of the most inviting for disc golf fans and amateur players in the world. The host city, Emporia, Kansas, has a population of just over 20,000 and is considered by many the “Disc Golf Mecca.” So with another successful GBO coming to a close on Saturday, it seems like an appropriate time to discuss our participation in disc golf tournaments and the potential economic impact of that participation.

In our State of Disc Golf Survey at the beginning of the year, we asked disc golfers if they played in any disc golf tournaments in 2017. Just shy of 3/4 of us did compete in a tournament with 72.59% of survey takers answering in the affirmative. Of these disc golfers who played in a tournament, we asked how many PDGA sanctioned tournaments they played in as well as how many non-PDGA sanctioned tournaments. Here were the results:

 

What do these numbers tell us? It looks like the majority of us who play in tournaments still keep it casual, only playing in a handful of tournaments. We can see that more than half of us played in 3 PDGA and non PDGA sanctioned tournaments or less this year. I’d say I am a bit surprised by how low that number is, and I am also surprised that there isn’t a larger difference in these percentages. I would have imagined there would have been significantly more participation in PDGA events, but the spread is pretty even for both.

Now for some questions that lead to great info for those of us who are trying to grow the sport by getting our local parks and city officials to support disc golf. This info could also be useful when trying to seek out sponsors for your local events–How far are we willing to travel for disc golf, and how much money do we spend when we do travel?

Again, here I think the numbers should do most of the talking, so here are our responses to those questions:

 

 

 

As someone who has been involved in running tournaments and installing new disc golf courses, the statistical tidbit that I think I will use in future meetings is over a quarter of competitive disc golfers are willing to travel anywhere for a disc golf tournament. “If you build it, they will come,” right? If the courses are good enough and the payout high enough, the disc golfers will come and they will bring their wallets with them. Now city officials may not be ecstatic by the size of those wallets based on the results of the second question, but still, communities know that community events bring in money. If you get the chance, ask business owners in the small town of Emporia, Kansas what they think about disc golf tournaments. And if you don’t get a chance, take notice of all the “Welcome Disc Golfers” signs your friends who went to GBO posted on their social media accounts.

Getting back to our involvement in disc golf, my final takeaway is something that I think is pretty unique to disc golf. And that is disc golf fans are also disc golf competitors. Yes, there are community leagues for basketball and soccer that fans of those sports participate in, but do all fans of those sports also compete? In my last article, I reported that 77.4% of survey takers follow professional disc golfers. If we assume that the 72.59% of disc golfers who played in a tournament in 2017 also follow the pros, that would mean that less than 5% of those who follow the professionals don’t compete themselves. I’d imagine that number is much bigger for those who follow the professional game in basketball, soccer, or most other sports.

Why is that? Well, most of us learned about professional disc golf well after playing it first since pro disc golf is not in the mainstream. Also all we need to do to compete in disc golf is pay the tournament registration fee. Team sports require…well, a team of players who are willing to practice and play together. Also in most locations, disc golfers can practice and prepare to compete without spending a dime except for the money they spend on their gear. For other individual sports like ball golf or bowling, you can’t access the competition facility to practice for free. The ease of access is greater for disc golf competitors, so we see more participation in the amateur game.

Which leads to the common discussion in our sport of how much does the amateur game fuel the professional game? This year after the Las Vegas Challenge, participants were invited to provide their feedback for the event, and one of the main questions asked was if they should split the event into two weekends, one for amateur competition and one for the pros. This would allow for a larger field of competitors. You would have to contact Jeff Jaquart and the fantastic crew at the LVC for the results of that survey, but just by word of mouth I heard a lot of my fellow competitors express that they would likely not make the trip back next year if they didn’t get to see the pros compete that same weekend. But the question I have is how many fans would make the trip just to watch the pros if they weren’t competing themselves? Would the gallery be smaller for the final round of next year’s LVC? No matter the answer, I can’t help but think of the huge gallery I saw all 4 rounds of the Masters (that’s a kind of big ball golf tournament for those who don’t know :)), and it just makes me think that we still have a long way to go in disc golf.

What do you think? What are you most surprised by in these numbers? Comment and let us know!

Top Selling Discs–Q1 of 2018

Well, the weather is warming up! Disc golf season is (finally) here! It is time to look back on the first quarter of 2018 and discuss the best selling discs. This was the long and cold offseason, which is often the collector’s disc buying season, and I think these results show that a bit. You will notice that most of the discs that moved up the charts had a limited edition or tour fundraiser edition released during the first three months of the year. As always, we also have some new releases that climbed into these charts. So let’s take a look!

 

Top 10 Overall

  1. Discmania P2 Psycho
  2. Innova Destroyer
  3. Innova Firebird
  4. Discraft Buzzz
  5. Innova Aviar
  6. Innova Shryke
  7. Dynamic Discs Judge
  8. Discmania FD Jackal
  9. Innova TeeBird
  10. Innova Wraith

Last quarter the Discmania P2 made Infinite Discs history by knocking off the Innova Destroyer as the top selling disc for the first time ever, and it held its ground at the top spot. The top three discs here are the same, but after that we see a pretty good mix up. TheDiscraft Buzzz, which was a long time number 2 on this list before dropping quite a bit over the last year or two, jumped up 4 spots to come in at number 4 this quarter. Also three discs made it into the overall top 10 that weren’t there last quarter–Innova ShrykeDynamic Discs Judge, and Discmania FD. The FD is also making its debut on the top 10 overall.

Top Distance Drivers

  1. Innova Destroyer
  2. Innova Firebird
  3. Innova Shryke
  4. Innova Wraith
  5. Innova Valkyrie
  6. Discmania PD Freak
  7. Innova Boss
  8. Streamline Trace
  9. Discmania PD2
  10. Innova Tern
  11. Vibram Lace

So the top half of this chart looks like business as usual, with only two discs swapping placements since last quarter, but the next five spots shook up quite a bit. We have two Discmania discs cracking into the top 10 for the first time, the PD Freak at number 6 and the PD2 at number 9. The Streamline Trace finished in 8th making it into the top 10 for the first time since Streamline Discs‘ initial release. I mentioned that special releases and runs impacted our charts, and we see that here as the Plasma Trace was released this quarter including the very popular “Trace of Hearts” stamp. However, the two Discmania discs did not have a special release this quarter, which I will discuss more later in this post. Also an honorable mention–The Vibram Lace finished 11th. Vibram announced that they will no longer be manufacturing discs in February, so we have seen their sales increase since that time.

Top Control/Fairway Drivers

  1. Discmania FD Jackal
  2. Innova Teebird
  3. Innova Thunderbird
  4. Infinite Discs Exodus
  5. Innova TeeBird3
  6. Innova Leopard3
  7. Innova Leopard
  8. Latitude 64 Explorer
  9. Innova Roadrunner
  10. Latitude 64 River

There were a few notable surprises in the Control Drivers this quarter. The Discmania FD jumped up 5 spots to be the top selling Control Driver for the first time ever. We also have two new release discs that jumped into the top 10, Infinite Discs Exodus and Latitude 64 Explorer. As you probably already know if you are reading this article, Infinite Discs partnered with Innova in 2018 to release our own lineup of discs. The first disc released in this collaboration was the Exodus. Some might be surprised to see how high the Exodus climbed in its initial release, but just keep in mind that we are the only place you can buy an Exodus, unlike the rest of the Control Drivers we sell (but, I mean, if you only buy them from us, we won’t complain! :)).

Top Midrange Discs

  1. Discraft Buzzz
  2. Innova Roc3
  3. Innova Mako3
  4. Innova Roc
  5. Discmania MD3
  6. Hyzerbomb Mortar
  7. Innova Rat
  8. Dynamic Discs EMac Truth
  9. Innova Gator
  10. Infinite Discs Chariot

Not a lot of excitement for the Midrange Discs this quarter. The top 3 discs stayed the same. The biggest climb up the chart came from another Discmania mold, the MD3. We also have two new releases here, the Innova Rat and the Infinite Discs Chariot which was the second Infinite Discs mold released this year.

Top Putt and Approach Discs

  1. Discmania P2 Psycho
  2. Innova Aviar
  3. Dynamic Discs Judge
  4. Gateway Wizard
  5. Westside Harp
  6. Dynamic Discs Warden
  7. Axiom Envy
  8. Innova Nova
  9. Latitude 64 Pure
  10. Dynamic Discs Deputy

While there was some movement in the placing, this quarter’s chart actually has the exact same 10 putters as last quarter’s. If my memory is right, that is the first time that has ever happened for any category. The Dynamic Discs Judge climbed up 3 spots to be the third best selling putter. This is noteworthy because though the Judge has been a consistent name on this chart, it has slipped a bit over the last year or so. 3rd is the highest we have seen the Judge for a while, so it will be interesting to see if it will hold or even climb higher in the future.

And there you have it? Any surprises? I’d say what surprised me most was how well the Discmania molds performed. Unlike several of the molds throughout this post, We didn’t have any special releases from Discmania this quarter. So what changed? I think we could attribute this spike in sales to the performance of Team Discmania members in the first two big tournaments of the year. Eagle McMahon won the Las Vegas Challenge, and then Simon Lizotte won the Memorial Championship the very next weekend. Whether this influenced sales or not, I am curious to see if these molds will hold their ground moving forward. What do you think? Anything I missed? Leave us a comment and let us know!

 

Shipping at Infinite Discs – Answers to Questions

Infinite Discs works tirelessly to create an online disc golf shopping experience that not only presents the largest selection of discs in an easy-to-navigate way, but that also provides unmatched customer service and quick order fulfillment.

Here is an outline of how your order is processed and an explanation of your shipping options.

WHEN ARE PACKAGES SHIPPED?

Infinite Discs processes orders from 6am to 9pm Monday – Friday.  Saturday orders are processed from 8am-5pm and we are closed on Sundays.

On Saturdays the carriers only pick up in the early afternoon, so not as many orders will leave our facility on a Saturday vs a weekday. Unless your order is made early Saturday morning, it will likely be picked up Monday.

We strive to ship all regular orders within 1-3 business days.  Orders with a shipping upgrade almost always ship in less than 24 hours.

Holidays, weekends, and big releases can delay processing times.  Things like weather and pandemics can also slow the process down with the carriers.

WHO DELIVERS THE PACKAGES?

Once we pull and package your order, we process a shipping label for the US Postal Service, FedEx, UPS, or DHL, depending on which service has the best rate for the package weight and destination. Most shipments are sent using USPS (US Postal Service) for the best speed and tracking services.

Large and heavier packages always ship via ground services like FedEx, UPS, or DHL because of their bulk. Those large packages include items like backpacks, baskets, carts, package sets, or orders of more than 8 discs.

International packages are currently shipped using UPS Innovations for delivery outside of the USA.

The tracking number you receive in your email and on your profile will link to the appropriate shipping company so you can follow your package’s progress.

CAN YOU UPGRADE SHIPPING?

During checkout, you will be given shipping options and add-ons that you can select.

If you select the Priority Upgrade, there are two primary things that will change on your order:

  • Upgrading will guarantee that we pay the added cost to ship your package through USPS Priority shipping rather than USPS ground or an alternative lower cost method.  While Priority mail does not guarantee delivery times, it offers an average faster 2-5 day estimated delivery time. *See note for exceptions. 
  • Upgrading will also move your order to the FRONT of the shipping queue, so we pull it before other orders with standard shipping. During busy times and following weekends, this can speed up the order processing time by 1-2 days.

Important Note: Upgraded shipping for large or heavy items like carts, backpacks, baskets, and disc orders of 10 or more will not change the shipping service as these are usually shipped via UPS or FedEx. Similarly, the Upgrade will NOT change the shipping service for international packages.

If you select the Upgrade in those cases, it will only move the order to the front of the shipping queue.

OTHER SHIPPING UPGRADES

After selecting the desired shipping, you are offered an upgrade to “Ship In a Box” which will ensure your discs are packaged in a box.

For orders with 5 or less discs, we will usually package them in padded envelopes. Those padded envelopes protect the discs and reduces the cost and weight of the package. If you want the added protection of a box for an extra $2, you can select this upgrade to cover the cost of the box and the extra packaging weight.

Note: If you are ordering more than five discs, your discs will ship in a box anyway, so upgrading to a box is not necessary after 5 discs.  Box upgrades are also not necessary on large items that will not fit in a mailing envelope.  

You may also select to add Mystery Swag or a Mystery Disc to any order you place. The mystery swag adds $9 to your order with no additional cost in shipping. You’ll then receive mystery items in your package which could include anything from a t-shirt (in a size you indicate) to hats, beanies, mini discs, towels, Sport Sacks, and more. We try to keep a large variety of swag items on hand for adventurous customers who add the Mystery Swag to their order.

The Mystery Disc option costs $12 and will add a mystery disc to your package. As the name implies, these discs are a MYSTERY and can include discs of any style or brand. We do not take requests for specific discs or brands– if you want a specific disc, you can always order it from our website.

The Mystery Discs are meant to be a surprise and we often use this program to introduce new disc brands and models to our customers as well as highlighting some classic brands and molds.   The two promises we make with mystery discs are that:

1-The disc will have a value of at least $12 or more.  (usually more)

2-The disc will be a surprise and could be ANYTHING.  That being said, we usually try to avoid higher speed items that many people can’t throw.

 

DO WE SHIP OUTSIDE THE USA?

While international shipping can be expensive, we DO ship discs and other small accessory items outside of the USA.

We DO NOT ship large items like bags, backpacks, baskets, etc. internationally. The shipping costs to ship those items often exceed the cost of the items themselves, so we simply cannot do it.

All international packages are shipped through UPS who then hands off the packages to the postal service of the receiving countries for final delivery.  Delivery time estimates on international orders are longer than domestic orders. It’s challenging to estimate delivery times for international packages because of customs processing and the speed of the postal service in the receiving country.  While many international orders can come within 2-3 weeks, it’s not uncommon for international orders to some countries to take over 30 days to arrive.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: Infinite Discs has NO control over import fees or customs taxes in your country. You are responsible to pay customs charges that are charged by your country to receive your package. 

TIPS FOR BEST SHIPPING RESULTS

Here are a few best practices as you’re placing your order and awaiting the arrival of your package:

  • If you need it a little faster (within the USA), select the Shipping Upgrade. It may make the day or two difference that you desire.
  • If you have a strict deadline like a tournament, please order your discs sooner, rather than waiting until 2-3 days before the event. While we do our best to fulfill orders quickly, we cannot make the mail move more quickly or guarantee that you’ll get your disc by a certain day or time.
  • Use a profile when placing your order. We send confirmation & tracking information through automated emails when orders are shipped, but with a profile you’ll have access to your order status, tracking numbers, order history and rewards points for all of your purchases, simply by logging in. Checking out as a guest prevents you from having access to any of this information.
  • We sometimes see customers ordering several times in a single day (or in a single shipping period). In these cases, we often try to combine orders into a single package. This does not mean the difference in shipping costs are refunded automatically as there is not a systematic way to make this happen. It is most cost-effective if you order everything in a single order, but if you place multiple that are combined and wish to request a refund of the cost difference, then contact us at support@infinitediscs.com and we will accommodate your request accordingly.

TRACKING YOUR PACKAGE

Once your package is shipped, you should receive an automated email with your tracking information. If you don’t see that email, it is often because your email service has filtered the email into your “spam” folder. Since it is an automatically generated email, many email providers assume that it’s spam. If you find the email in you spam folder, right-click on the email and select “Not Spam” and eventually those emails will go to your regular “In” box.

THE BEST WAY TO CHECK YOUR ORDER STATUS AND TRACKING is by logging into your InfiniteDiscs.com account and clicking on “My Account” and then “My Orders”.  All of your order information can be found there at any time with only a few clicks of the mouse.

If you don’t have a login on our website, it pays to make one. It gives you full access to you order history, tracking numbers, order status, and rewards points that can be redeemed for gift cards to use on future orders.

WHEN TO CONTACT SUPPORT ABOUT YOUR PACKAGE

We are happy to provide quick and helpful support at Infinite Discs. When it comes to the delivery of your package, we rely on USPS and the other shipping companies to deliver the order in a timely manner.  If the tracking information shows a delay, we ask that you be patient and give it 2-3 days to see if it continues moving or gets delivered.  Since we don’t handle the delivery, we aren’t able to determine the cause of a delay or specifically where a package is once in the carrier’s hands. We have access to the same tracking information that we send out when the order is processed.

Here are times we recommend contacting support@infinitediscs.com about your package:

  • If you do not receive a tracking number within a few days of placing your order. Reach out after you’ve checked your junk mail and profile but still can’t find the tracking number. We ship quickly, so a few days delay might mean something unexpected happened when you placed your order. Entering an incorrect email when ordering will make it so that you don’t see your tracking information.
  • If you are in the USA and your package stops tracking or moving for 5 or more days, then please contact us. In many cases we can’t put in a claim with the delivery service until a week or two after it was shipped.  We can, however, have the carriers look into a delayed package after it goes 4-5 days without a scan.  Delivery services are not perfect, so sometimes they mis-route packages and it takes time to get back on course.
  • If you are outside the USA, contact us if it is taking longer than 30 days for your package to reach you. We can request more information from the delivery service to check the package status. Sometimes we have to wait longer to file a claim, but we can at least inquire. Please note on your UPS tracking page, a second tracking number for your country’s postal service will be included for once the package has been handed over to them.
  • If your package arrives damaged by the delivery, please contact us with photos of the damaged products. Then we can file a claim with the delivery service. The more evidence we have, the better.

In any of these cases, please email us at support@infinitediscs.com and we can work on a resolution for you. We ALWAYS make these things right with our customers, but sometimes we need to go through certain steps or procedures when working with the carriers.

IF YOUR PACKAGE SAYS “DELIVERED” BUT YOU DON’T SEE IT…

This is a concern that we sometimes hear from customers.  In many cases the US Postal Service handles the final delivery to your door.  When a tracking number says “delivered” it is because a local postal worker scanned it at delivery. When they scan it, there are GPS coordinates recorded.  Once scanned, USPS can tell EXACTLY where they were when it was scanned. We do not have access to that information, but your local post office does, so please reach out to them with your tracking number and ask them to verify that the scan matches the correct delivery address.

In many of these situations, the local post office finds that they either delivered it to a wrong house, or they scanned it at a location that does not match the delivery address. In these cases, they are obligated to locate the package for you, which they usually do right away.

PLEASE NOTE: Infinite Discs will not simply refund a missing order if tracking shows it was “delivered”.  Our primary goal in that case is to work with you and the carrier to locate the missing package.  We have found that many missing packages are recoverable if the time is taken to communicate with the local post office who delivered the package.  It takes some effort to communicate with the local post office, but it increases the chances of recovering the product.

If your local post office is unable to help resolve or find your package, then feel free to contact us at support@infinitediscs.com and we’ll look into what else can be done to remedy the situation.

GENERAL SUMMARY WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING

When it comes to shipping, remember these few things for the best experience:

  • Be Patient. Carrying a package from one place to another takes time. In the majority of cases, it works flawlessly. Delays happen, but they usually work out given a little time.
  • If you want an order faster, click on the Shipping Upgrade during checkout. It will give a little turbo boost to your processing and delivery time.
  • Look up your tracking information before you panic. Logging into our website is extremely easy and gives you access to nearly everything that we can tell you about your order. Click on “My Account” and “My Orders” to check order status and track your package.

Thanks for shopping at Infinite Discs! Though this has been lengthy, we hope this detailed explanation of the shipping process helps answer any questions you have about the delivery of your orders.

 

The “Always Watching” OWL Stamp Lands on More Brands
