Bauer Stick Warranty

[StoneHands]

I just broke my Bauer Nexus 7000 last night and I just bought it 2-3 weeks ago. I've only used it maybe 5 times and it snapped above the heal. I used to break sticks a lot in college and return them with the receipt but that was 10 years ago and now I only play once or twice a week so I never break them within the 30 day period.

My question is, how often in your experience do they deny warranty claims? I see on the website it says "IF BROKEN DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT". I'd hate to go through all of the leg work to get the claim filed, find a box to ship it in and pay for shipping just to have them say it wasn't a "defect" that caused the break and then they don't return the shaft so I'm out there too.

My other question is, if I find a box that's not the length of the stuck, can I cut it in half to fit it into the box or will they not accept it that way?

I've never had a stick denied for warranty.

Yeah, that's where I got the info about it needing to be a manufacturers defect. Sounds like maybe it's just to cover themselves from having to replace a stick because they did something stupid like smashing their stick over the crossbar after letting up a goal.

When I broke my Nexus 8000 this summer, I just brought it back to the store and they gave me a Nexus 1N as a replacement.
