TIMELINES
We ship via FedEx Ground. This service delivers 7 days per week. Depending on location, racquet will take 1 - 4 days for delivery. (See Map Below) We will turn it around and initiate return shipment to you within 24 hrs of receipt during (M - F) Contact us and we can estimate the day you can expect to find your racquet returned.
This service has been conceived for tennis players who reside in the SE United States because of the 1 day shipping time. (Refer to pink section of map below) Those outside the pink area are welcome to use the service, but the timing is less speedy depending upon location.
EXAMPLE: If a customer in Southeastern USA (pink area) mails in the AM, it usually arrives by 2:30 the following day. The requested service is performed and the racquet is back in the mail no later than 10:00 am the following morning. Customer receives her/his racquet the next day. Let's take a closer look at this sample timeline.
1. Customer breaks string during weekend match. Mails racquet Sunday evening/Monday morning.
2. Racquet is received and serviced Tuesday afternoon.
3. Racquet is shipped back no later than Wednesday morning.
4. Racquet is received by customer Thursday afternoon.
This timeline may actually be faster when circumstances are right. In some instances, depending on work load, we are able to string and ship the racquet the same day it is received. In these situations if the racquet is received Monday, it will be turned around and mailed back the same day and the customer will receive her/his racquet on Tuesday.
The process we have developed allows for our customers to receive completed service as fast or faster than using big-box retailers and many other local stringing options, with the added bonus of not needing to finagle your schedule to fit into the traditional retail pickup/drop off times.

DISTINCT ADVANTAGES OF CHOOSING
"KNOT TOO FAR" STRINGING SERVICES

Our technician has 25+ years of full time experience and is nationally recognized as being an industry expert in the area of strings and stringing. This is unique from other mail-in services who have multiple stringers performing the work, most of whom are not full-time professionals. In many ways this service is equivalent to hiring your own personal stringer.
2. PERFORMANCE. Our senior lead technician will work with you to not only determine string type and tension, but to really focus on a setup that will deliver desired performance outcomes. Learn more about our Racquet Vitalization Services.
