FAQ · Straight answers

Questions, answered like humans.

The stuff people actually ask, without the runaround. Can't find yours? Email [email protected] — we reply within 24 hours.

Do you sell this gear yourselves?

No. Better Birdies is a recommendation site, not a store. Every “buy” button sends you to the retailer — usually Amazon — and they handle payment, shipping and returns. Nothing is ever purchased on this site, so we never see or handle your card details.

How do you make money, then?

Affiliate commissions. If you buy through one of our links, the retailer pays us a small percentage — at no extra cost to you; the price is identical whether you use our link or not. As an Amazon Associate, Better Birdies earns from qualifying purchases. That disclosure appears on every page carrying a link, because you deserve to know how a recommendation site is funded.

Does the commission change what you recommend?

It would be worth nothing to you if it did. We recommend the gear we would put in our own bag, and we say plainly when a cheaper option is the smarter buy. We publish no fabricated ratings, no invented review counts, and no “official” endorsement claims. If we have not formed a real opinion on something, we leave it out rather than fill a slot.

Is the rangefinder tournament-legal?

Yes — it has a slope-off mode that disables elevation adjustments for tournament play. Flip it off before you tee it up in competition and you are within the rules.

Something went wrong with my order — can you help?

Contact the retailer you bought from — they hold the order, the payment and the return. We have no visibility into purchases made on Amazon or anywhere else, so we genuinely cannot look it up for you. That said, if a pick of ours pointed you at the wrong thing, we very much want to hear it: [email protected].

I have a question that's not here.

Email [email protected] or use the contact form. We respond within 24 hours, often faster.

Still stuck?

A real person reads every message, usually within 24 hours. Gear questions welcome.
