TRADE-INS & UPGRADES

Trade-Up
If you bought a machine and instantly realize you really wanted a better model, you may “return” the original machine and trade up to a better model without having to pay our standard 5% restocking fee (provided the machine is in like-new condition). As long as the machine was purchased within 30 days, you simply pay the difference between the two models. If you trade down, for any reason, you will pay a 5% restocking fee.

Trade-In Any Brand Tennis Ball Machine
Our trade-in program allows you to trade-in any Lobster ball machine or any non-Lobster brand of tennis ball machine in exchange for 15% off retail of any Lobster machine. If you provide photographic evidence that the machine has been placed out of service, Lobster will extend a 15% discount on the purchase of any newly purchased tennis or pickleball machine. Please call 800-526-4041 for more details or email orders@lobstersports.com.
