The FedEx map below outlines the transit times for the Ground Shipping Option (1-4 business days). Transit time does not account for processing, and most orders will ship next business day (ex. orders that are placed on Mondays will ship Tuesday etc, and orders placed Fridays will ship the next Monday). Exceptions to shipping next day include Custom Logo Orders, 8' wide putting greens, and Hill Strikers. If you have any questions about a particular product's production time or shipping time, do not hesitate to reach out via email (questions@birdieball.com), live chat, or by phone (M-F 9am - 5pm MST).
FedEx Ground is used for commercial addresses, while FedEx Home Delivery is used for residential addresses.
How transit time is calculated: The day the package is picked up does not count as a transit day, the day the package is delivered does count in transit time calculations. Example- Shipping to Florida takes 4 business days in transit and the order is shipped on a Monday. Tuesday is the first day, Wednesday the second, Thursday the third, and the Friday is the fourth day - so it can be expected to be delivered on Friday.

- Orange States (3 days)
- Blue States (2 days)
- Pink States (1 day)

RETURNS
Returns will only be accepted within 30 days of receipt of the product. Please note that we cannot accept returns on the following: used products, Putting Greens that have been printed with any custom logo/photo, Double Depth Putting Greens that have already been assembled, Blemished ShufflePutts, Hole Cutters or any Putting Green that has been customized with specifications outside of the normal offerings (e.g. a custom size green, custom hole placement, etc.) Please note that we cannot offer Free Returns, due to the high shipping cost of the putting greens.
We always hope that our products have exceeded your expectations. If they do not for whatever reason, feel free to email questions@birdieball.com, or call us (303-432-3333) so we can help to alleviate whatever issues you may be experiencing. If you are set on returning your order, please read the following instructions carefully.
Step 1: Reach out to customer service to initiate a return. Email questions@birdieball.com and include your order number and/or email that is associated with the order. We will send you a document outlining your return options for your specific order. You have the option of purchasing a FedEx return label from us, or providing your own return shipping label. If using your preferred shipping carrier (U.S. Post Office, FedEx, UPS, etc.), ship the items you wish to return back to us at the address below. Please include a copy of your packing slip, or simply write your order number and name on the outside of the shipping box so we are clear who the return is coming from.
Return with a copy of the packing slip or order # to:
BirdieBall, Inc.
6851 Highway 73
Evergreen, CO 80439
303-432-3333
Step 2: Pack your putting green back into the original shipping box - If the green has not been taken out of the box, simply tape the box up and ship it back. If the green has been taken out of the box, it needs to be packed up the same way it was received. The fuzzy side should be rolled on the outside, so it is touching the inside of the box. All accessories need to be placed in the middle, so as not to damage the putting surface. Nothing but the inside of the box should be touching the putting surface. If you have questions about how to properly pack your putting green, please let us know. Not packing the green properly can result in the green being damaged during transit, and may affect your refund if not packed with care.
Step 3: A refund (minus all shipping costs) will be issued based on the following guidelines- You will be refunded all but the actual shipping cost + return label cost if applicable. Actual shipping cost is the amount we were charged to initially ship the product to you. If you are in the Continental U.S. and spent over $100.00, you were not charged for shipping when you placed your order; however, the amount we paid to ship your products to you will be kept out of the refund. Please allow 14 business days for refunds to be processed, after the return has been received.
*If you would like to know how much your product cost to ship prior to returning your item, please email questions@birdieball.com, and we can let you know what your refund will be and what will be kept for shipping. The product purchased, as well as the shipping location, will affect how much we were charged for shipping. Or we will send you a pre-paid FedEx return label and deduct the shipping costs from the refund.*
If the putting green is not packed properly and the putting surface is damaged, we will keep up to 50% of the cost of the green + shipping costs.
EXAMPLE SCENARIO
Bob wants to return his 4' x 14' putting green because it doesn't fit in his office. He spent $200.00, and got free shipping. He calls customer service and is told that his green cost $40 to ship to him (Your shipping cost will depend on what product you ordered, and where it was shipped). Bob needs to ship the green back to us, and has chosen to purchase his own shipping label. Once we receive Bob's green back, and make sure it is packed properly and is not damaged, we will issue a refund of $160.00 ($200 - $40). If Bob decides to purchase a FedEx Return Shipping label from us, we will issue a refund of $120 ($200 - $80).
*Please note we cannot accept returns on Custom Logo Greens or on Double Depth Greens that have already been assembled*
