Try B4 U Buy
A unique DiX StiX “N” Stuff service for both Country and City based Customers.

The service is readily available to those who visit our shop at 6/525 Lytton Road, (200mt towards the Gateway Arterial from the State Hockey Centre). Simply come in, select a stick you think you may like from our extensive range. Feel free to use the stick in our 8mX 8m “hit up” area. Don’t like it? Put it back, and try another. When you are totally happy with your selection we will ‘personalise’ your stick with Shaft-guard or extra grips, on the spot, and conclude your sale.

That works well for our “In Town” customers but just doesn’t work if you live “out of Town”. So we have come up with a method that is risk free for you to Try B4 U Buy as well.

Get an idea of what you think would work for you by touring the web site or let us know what you want using the contact page (please remember the only brands we don’t do this for is captive brands from Just Hockey). On receipt of your request we will contact you and get your card details, the stick will be posted, and a charge of $10 will be made on your card. (*)

If, as we hope, you are happy with the stick we have sent, let us know within 14 days (^) and we will make another charge on your card for the full price less the $10 already charged. We will also send a FREE Shaft-guard so you can keep your stick looking good.

If you aren’t happy with the stick, return it (by post) in saleable condition (#) and we will accept it back into stock (so that we can better help you in future, we would like to know why the stick wasn’t right for you, though). All you risk is postage each way.

But I’m a “Keeper!!!
Great! Give Animal a call (E-Mail works) and we will get a set of gear to you for you to look at ASAP. Look for us at your Club sign-on. Just ‘cause you’re a keeper there’s no reason to miss out!!!!

* Initial charge only, to cover postage/packaging within Australia. Charge is not refundable.
^ Balance of stick price will be charged after 14 days if there is no contact with the customer.
# Heal and face of the stick head will be taped when sent to allow some use with no damage to finish. Please only use the sticks on water-base or grass not on sand-base or concrete. Ownership is held by DiX StiX until payment, in full, is received.
