How Our Postal Racket Restringing Service Works (Step-by-Step Guide)

Are your strings feeling dull, lifeless, or losing their pop? If you're based in the UK and don't have access to a top-quality local stringer — Sam's Strings has you covered. Our UK-wide postal tennis, badminton & squash racket restringing service is designed to make restringing as convenient and hassle-free as possible, without compromising on professional quality.

Here's how the service works, step by step:


🎯 Step 1: Place Your Order Online

Search our website, or take our string quiz and select your string type and tension preferences. Whether you're looking for more spin, power, or comfort — we've got a wide selection of premium strings including Solinco, Kirschbaum, Babolat, Yonex, and more.

👉 Not sure what string suits you? Drop us a WhatsApp message and we'll help you choose. Or why not check out our string interactive string quiz.

You can also add any extras at checkout:

  • Replacement grips
  • A fresh overgrip
  • Stencils (custom or brand logos)

🚚 Step 2: Choose Your Delivery Preference

We offer three delivery options to suit your needs:

  1. None required – You post the racket using your preferred method, both ways
  2. Return Postage Only – Pay for the racket to get to us and we will sort the return leg
  3. Send & Return Postage – We will arrange the full shipping process for you

Our frequently used couriers include Evri and Yodel, trusted for fast and trackable service across the UK.


📦 Step 3: Package Your Racket Safely

Once you’ve chosen your delivery option, it’s time to send your racket securely. We recommend:

  • Wrapping your racket in bubble wrap or inside a racket case
  • Using a sturdy cardboard box or padded envelope
  • Including your name and order number inside the parcel

📝 Tip: Always use tracked delivery when sending your racket.


🛠️ Step 4: We Restring with Precision and Care

Once your racket arrives, our UKRSA-certified stringer gets to work. With years of professional experience and a genuine passion for detail, we:

  • Carefully inspect your frame and grommets
  • Clean and prep your racket
  • Restring using your chosen string and tension
  • Use professional-grade machines to ensure consistent results
  • ⏱️ Turnaround time is usually 24–48 hours from when we receive your racket.

📦 Step 5: We Ship It Back to You

Your freshly restrung racket is carefully re-packaged and shipped straight back to your door. We use reliable tracked services like Evri and Yodel, so you’ll always know when to expect your delivery.

💬 You’ll receive tracking updates and a WhatsApp message when it’s on the way back.
