Excellent service, communication and a quality cue
I recently purchased a MARK RICHARD SCP05 Laos Burl one-piece snooker cue, fitted with a Century Pro G2 Medium tip, and I am very pleased with the whole experience.
The customer service was excellent from the start. My questions about the returns policy for customers in Spain and the possibility of changing the tip were answered promptly, clearly and courteously. The team were helpful throughout and made the whole process reassuring and straightforward.
The cue was dispatched from Hong Kong and arrived in Spain on 15 September 2026, considerably earlier than I had expected. The packaging was excellent, with plenty of protection both inside the shipping box and around the cue case. Everything arrived in perfect condition.
Having now had the opportunity to play with the cue, I am delighted with it. It feels solid, straight and very well made, with an excellent finish and great attention to detail. The Laos Burl splice is particularly attractive, and the cue performs just as well as its quality and craftsmanship led me to hope.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with both the cue and the service I received. The communication, delivery speed, packaging and quality of the product have all been excellent.
Many thanks to the team at MARK RICHARD for their professionalism and for making this such a positive buying experience. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a quality snooker cue.

I decided after week of searching to purchase a Mark Richards cue.SC 109 price €213. I got it for €189 free delivery by Fed Ex. Hats off to them ,item arrived bang on the hour they said.
The cue arrived very well packaged and protected.
I went straight to the club and played.lwas not surprised,the cue was beautiful, glided on my thumb,balanced perfectly at the grip ,a magnificent piece of workmanship. I either got the best cue in the store or all Mark Richards cues are fabulous. Add to that it came with a mini butt and choice of hard case which alone would cost at least €50 to€60 plus Fed Ex's charge from China to Ireland .That's some deal .The quality of the cue is brilliant. Regarding Mark Richards I would recommend their cues to anyone
----mine anyway.
A big THANK YOU
to Mark Richards. Anthony Bellew.

The price you charged me for one tip is ridiculous. The pictures displayed on your website shows a box of 4. The price you charged me for one tipis the same price for a box of 4 in England. I will never shop on your site again and will share my experience with everyone that I know in the snooker community.

Hello there, thank you for sharing your feedback. Sorry, there is a misunderstanding about the Century Pro Cue Tip.
The product listing indicates in red that this is "not a box, only 1 Century Pro Cue Tip," and the selected G2/G3/G4 options refer to a single tip. However, we understand that product images can be confusing, so we take your feedback seriously. We will further improve the product page by clearly displaying a single prompt when selecting G2, G3, or G4, making the quantity more obvious and helping prevent similar misunderstandings.
We also want to clarify that the price includes tip-upgraded installation. Because your order does not require tip fitting, we have contacted you via email to apologize for providing a solution.
We hope you will reply to our email so we can resolve this issue with you directly. We sincerely value our customers and would like the opportunity to correct this misunderstanding.
Very disappointed with my experience. I ordered a cue that turned out to be the wrong one for me and requested to exchange it for a 9.5 mm cue. I made it clear that I was happy to pay any exchange fee or price difference. The cue had only been used once and was still in excellent condition, but because the tip had been chalked, my exchange was refused.
Instead of allowing an exchange, I was told to purchase another cue and offered a small discount, which was not a satisfactory solution.
I understand businesses have return policies, but I expected more flexibility, especially since I was willing to cover any additional costs. Based on this experience, I will never buy from this site again and would not recommend it to others.

Hello there, thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your disappointment and appreciate the opportunity to clarify our policy.
Unfortunately, we can only accept returns or exchanges for unused items. As outlined in our return policy, cues and shafts must show no signs of use: the tip must not have been chalked, and the cue must be returned in its original protective packaging with all tags attached, free from chalk marks, scrapes, or any other signs of use. Once a cue has been chalked and played with, we are unable to resell it as a new product, so we cannot accept it back for exchange. This policy is applied fairly and consistently to all customers.
Although we were unable to exchange the used cue, we still wanted to help. In addition to our automatic £10 discount, we offered you a further £15 goodwill discount, giving you a total saving of £25 towards a new 9.5mm cue. We believe this was a sincere gesture and the best solution we could offer within our policy.
We're genuinely sorry that this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for. We value every customer and always try to find a fair resolution while maintaining the same standards for everyone. We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the very best.
Hello there, thank you for your feedback and for your purchase. We understand that shipping costs can seem high, especially for international orders. While our products are handcrafted in our workshop and shipped directly from our manufacturing facility, this allows us to offer exceptional quality and value at a competitive price. We also work hard to keep shipping costs as low as possible while ensuring every product is carefully packaged and fully tracked. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you're enjoying your product!

About six years ago I bought my first Mark Richard. There was a learning curve going from pool to snooker especially the cue. Still shooting with my first one, just decided it was time for another. Three times what I paid then but they're good cues.

Hi there, thank you so much for your continued support over the years! It means a great deal to us that you're still playing with the first Mark Richard cue you bought six years ago and chose to come back for another. We know the transition from pool to snooker can take time, so it's wonderful to hear our cue has been part of that journey. While prices have changed over the years due to rising material and manufacturing costs, we're committed to maintaining the quality our customers expect. Thank you again for your trust, and we wish you many more enjoyable plays with your cue!
Love my cue from Mark Richards cues, definitely helps to improve my game so I was gutted when I noticed some damage. However, within a week of talking with the customer service team my cue was replaced. Not just a great cue but a great company to deal with. Thank you very much for your help and support :)

So happy I stumbled across Mark Richard cues when I was looking to buy my first cue, the craftsmanship of the handmade cue has blown me away & the added extra’s i.e extensions are a great touch within the set & of very high quality. After ordering I spoke to Sophia to discuss weight, added elk master tip & her customer service was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgable. The cue I bought was 19.oz & 58inched I’ve been on the table over the last few days and early signs it is improving my game. The case you get with the cue is immaculate & very high quality. The delivery is tracked by DPD so puts your mind at ease & arrived 6 days after being shipped which was really quick. If anyone is looking for their first cue or a new cue I couldn’t recommend this company enough, they have more than exceeded my expectations and the quality and service has been fantastic.. thanks again
