Postal Restringing FAQs

How do I send my racket for restringing?

Simply package your racket securely in a box or padded envelope, include your order confirmation or a note with your details, and send it to the address provided in your order confirmation email. Shipping options can be selected during the checkout process.

How long does the postal restringing process take?

Once your racket arrives with us, we typically complete the restring within 24–48 hours. Return postage usually takes 1–3 working days, depending on the service you choose.

What strings do you offer for postal restrings?

We stock a wide range of badminton, tennis and squash strings — from power-focused options to control, feel and durability setups. All strings are premium quality and sourced from trusted brands.

Can I request a specific tension?

Yes. You will be able to select your desired tension when adding your product to the basket. If you're unsure or require a tension not listed just drop us a message. As long as your request is within range of the frame specifications.

Will my racket be safe in the post?

Yes — as long as it’s packaged securely. We recommend bubble wrap around the frame and strings, plus a sturdy box or padded mailer. Using one of our tracked service helps ensure safe delivery.

Do you insure the racket while it’s in your care?

Once your racket arrives with us, it’s fully protected while we restring it. During transit, insurance depends on the courier and postage service you choose.

Can I post more than one racket at a time?

Absolutely. You can send multiple rackets in one parcel — just select the correct quantity and products when ordering.

How do I know which string to choose?

Our String Finder quiz can recommend suitable options based on your playing style. You can also contact us directly for personal advice.

Do you keep a record of my previous restrings?

Yes. If you return to us again, we can match your previous tension and string selection to ensure consistency. For reorders you can also send us a WhatsApp or give us a call to discuss if more convenient.

What if I need my racket back urgently?

Special arrangements can be made if you need your racket restrung urgently. Drop us a message and we can work with you to arrange the best courier for you. Additional shipping fees are likely in this scenario.

Do you offer any racket customisations as part of a postal order?

Yes. Certain extras can be added to your order, including replacement grips, over-grips and racket stencils. If you require anything further such as replacement grommets, lead tape etc. please let us know in advance. Additional fees will be applied.

How do I package my racket to avoid damage?

Wrap the frame in bubble wrap, add padding around the head and handle, and use a sturdy outer box. Avoid thin plastic mailing bags, as these don’t protect the frame during transit.

How often should I restring my racket?

Regular players should restring every 3–4 months, or sooner if you notice loss of tension, reduced power, or fraying.

Do strings lose tension during shipping?

No — fresh strings only begin to settle once the racket is restrung. The postal journey puts minimal stress on a newly restrung racket.

Can you recommend tensions for each sport?

  • Badminton: 22–28 lbs depending on style and frame
  • Tennis: 48–58 lbs depending on string type
  • Squash: 24–30 lbs depending on control vs power preference

We’re happy to advise based on your experience level.
