Speed Stacks® have been made aware that
there are a number of imitation stacking cups being
sold, and would like to issue the following warning:
Regarding replacement cups: We have recently
been contacted by a number of individuals wanting to purchase
replacement cups. Although we sell individual replacements
for all our products, it soon became apparent that the cups
they were trying to replace were not Speed Stacks® brand, but were actually an imitation product! The individuals
who contacted us informed us that they could not purchase
replacement cups from the suppliers of the imitation cups
and had hoped that our cups would work with theirs!
Unfortunately we were unable to help as Speed Stacks are made to rigid
quality standards and are usually not compatible with imitation
cups!
Please be aware that unlike Speed Stacks brand sport stacking cups,
you may find that the sellers of these imitations do not support
their products with a warranty. The imitations are often sold through on-line
auction rooms, and it is also unlikely that you will be able
to purchase individual replacement cups should they chip,
break or split on their own or if you accidentally damage
one! To avoid disappointment, we would advise people
to make sure that they know exactly what they are getting before they
buy. The copies are often portrayed as being
for "Speed Stacking" with
WSSA approval. Firstly, "Speed Stacking" is
not even the correct name of our sport! It is
also important to note that Speed Stacks are the only brand
of cups approved by the World Sport Stacking Association
(WSSA) for use in official WSSA tournaments. Some
imitation brands have claimed to be approved for WSSA
competition but this is simply not true.
Speed
Stacks stands for service and quality. For
those unfamiliar with sport stacking, Speed Stacks
is the company responsible for the creation of school Sport
Stacking Programs in thousands of schools worldwide. All
members of the Speed Stacks Education Team have a teaching
background, and assist and support educational and sports
bodies in the introduction of sport stacking into their
organizations. Speed Stacks (in conjunction with the WSSA)
also helps stage competitions for schools and are now busy
scheduling official WSSA regional & national "open" events
for the coming year!
Be
an informed buyer... Before you buy you should check:
 |
Can
you purchase replacement cups? With
Speed Stacks you can! |
| |
|
 |
Do
the cups come with proper instructions and are they in
accordance with WSSA rules and
regulations? Speed
Stacks come with official printed instructions
and a WSSA approved Instructional Stacker DVD - unlike
any of the copies currently available! |
| |
|
 |
Can
these cups be used in competitions? Speed
Stacks is the official sport stacking equipment sponsor
of the WSSA and the only cups that can currently
be used in WSSA competitions. Speed Stacks
are "The Official Cups of the WSSA". |
