.:Lacrosse Equipment Retailers Review:.

In this article we will relate our personal experiences with all of these lacrosse equipment retailers. These are the views of our writers and should not be taken as any official report of any kind.

The Good

Queen City Lacrosse

Website: www.qclax.com
Location: Pennsylvania

This is, in my opinion, the best online retailer for lacrosse equipment. Theyre prices can compete with any other retailers. And, their shipping is awesome, usually 3 days max. Customer service is pretty good, I haven't really had to use it because they are so good with their orders. Combine great prices with fast shipping, and you get possibly the best place to get lax gear.

Bacharach Rasin

Website: www.bacharach.com
Location: Maryland

Bacharach, along with QClax, have become the only 2 places where I will ever order stuff from. Bacharach's prices are awesome, and the sales are even better. I picked up a pair of Ignitors for $50 when they were $90+ everywhere else. Their customer servive is pretty good, I can't complain about that. Shipping is again very fast, usually 3 days tops.

The Shop at Lax.com

Website: www.lax.com/shop
Location: New Jersey

Again, a very good retailer. Great customer service, and competitive prices. Shipping is relatively fast. And, they have a really good news section, covering lots of games. Check that out while your there.

The Bad

Great Atlantic Lacrosse

Website: www.lacrosse.com
Location: North Carolina

In my experiences with Great Atlantic, they are much like Warrior. They dont have the best prices, much like how Warrior doesn't necessarily have the best products, but their marketing is superior to that of any other. Extensive MLL sponsorship among other things have made this one of the best known lacrosse equipment retailers. Their customer service is very good, and shipping time is very fast. The one thing that brings them down: PRICES. They are WAY overpriced, even their Club Lax prices are much more than most of the other retailers in this review.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 10

The Horrible

LaxWorld

Website: www.playlax.com
Location: Maryland

This is what I believe to be one of the worst retailers out there. Their prices are ok, but after ordering a Matrix with 6 Diamond mesh I began one of the worst journeys of my life. After 5 days, I called up their *horrible* customer service, and asked why my head wasn't here yet. They told me that they didn't get it back yet. I asked them what they meant, and they told me that they hadn't gotten it back strung yet. THEY DON'T STRING THEIR OWN STICKS. So, they ship it somewhere (god knows where, probably somebody's basement), where it gets strung. Then it gets shipped back to LaxWorld, and THEN they ship it to you. The whole process takes approximately 2 WEEKS!!!
