"Shipped even faster than expected.
Product appears wonderful, but will have to wait for warmer weather to play.
Very excited."

"Easy ordering/prompt shipping. However, even the deluxe glo bocce balls are not nearly heavy enough, and battery replacement is very awkard & cumbersome! It's very easy to damage the battery terminal on the plug when replacing batteries,and although they recommend replacing a tab that separates battery from contact point for storage, it's almost impossible to do so! The plug definitely needs a redesign*"
"Excellent quality and engraving really made them special. Very beautiful set and received items fast!"
"the chrome layer is very thin.
one part of the zipper broke in shipment so the other will work for all the teeth "
"Very user friendly website, easy to order. Packages came with no problem. Can't wait to play!!"
"My husband and I were introduced to boules by a friend who lives in Paris, so boules seemed like the perfect present for my husband. It was easy to order, arrived promptly, and my husband is thrilled. We look forward to many games together and with our neighbors. Thank you, Playaboule!

"One place it appeared that the shipping was free but it wasn't.
On the web page to order an extran set of plugs stated NON-V3 event though they were for the V3 set hat I just order. "
“Seems you misread the description. They are described as as Flash and NON flash V3 plug. Reason is is that they do have the option built in to Flash or NON flash with the press of the button. Not that they are NON-V3. We also include multiple photos of the plugs and a long product description.
The set you ordered was free shipping but you added extra batteries and plugs to your order. Those are usually sold as accessories so do have a nominal shipping charge that you paid $1.20 shipping on.”
A rep from Playaboule.com, bedek, has responded:
“Thank you for your review.
As is noted on the product page on the website, the lighted balls are 2/3rds the weight of a regular bocce ball. It is impossible to make a ball the same weight because the material used in a regular bocce ball is so dense no light can shine through. Also it is generally agreed by the USBF that 99% of players in the USA, never step onto a court, but play a free form game of bocce in the back yard or at the beachb etc. We designed the sets for that large group. But this does not exclude the many other folks with courts that are perfectly happy with the set even though it is a little lighter.
Off the product page on the website:
"Great recreational set and perfect for evening play! At the beach, camping, back yard, etc. When the sun goes down don't stop playing, START playing with this glo bocce ball set. These balls weigh approx 600 gms each, about 2/3rds the weight of a competition bocce ball. This is plenty of heft even for the most aggressive player and has the extra advantage that the balls will not drop dead in very soft sand like a regular bocce ball does."
In the 2 years we have been selling the V3 set and after 1000's sold this is the first complaint we have seen/heard that the battery replacement is very awkward/cumbersome. In fact its quite a surprise as we always hear the opposite, we get great reviews about how simple and quick it is. If you have a difficult time putting the shipping tab back in between the batteries, then don't, that is just a suggestion. Instead leave the batteries out if you are not going the use the set for a long time. This is the same recommendation that comes with any battery powered product.”
