How Pre-Order Works

TSS is a pre-order store, run by a working racquet stringer in California. That means we do not keep reels sitting on a shelf. When you order, we collect orders together and place batch orders with our overseas suppliers, then ship your reel to you as soon as the batch arrives.

How it works

  1. You order and pay on this site, like any other store.
  2. We batch orders and buy from our suppliers overseas — usually within a few days of your order.
  3. Your reel ships to you once the batch arrives. Most orders ship in about 2–3 weeks from the day you order.

If something is out of stock

Occasionally a supplier sells out after you have ordered. If that happens, you choose: a full refund, or a swap to another string of equal value. We will always contact you first — never substitute without asking.

Genuine products

Every reel is a 100% genuine product, sourced from authorized overseas retailers. No fakes, no grey relabels.

Why the prices are lower than US retail

Two simple reasons: we buy where prices are lower (overseas), and we have no storefront overhead — no rent, no warehouse full of stock. The pre-order wait is the trade-off, and we price that wait into every reel.
