I am not sure if this is the right forum, so please move if necessary.
I recently had a club fitting (my first) at a PGA Top 100 club fitter. We had chosen JPX 825 pros and I was fit for standard length, loft and 61 degree lie (which I later found out is also standard for the 6 iron, I was not told this is standard during the fitting/ordering process). The fitter filled out the order sheet to my specs, cost was normal retail plus a modest fee for the fitting session and $17 shipping. I was told they would receive the clubs in about 2 weeks.
I received a phone call a few days ago stating that my clubs "came in early" (6 days total) and that I could pick them up. There was no box or foam or even an order/spec sheet. All I received was the clubs wrapped in a rubber band with the plastic cover on the heads.
This is when I realized that 61 degrees is the standard for lie for the 6 iron. So I was fit for a standard off the rack set of clubs (and that very well may be what I am, and they did have stock when I was there). I decided to ask Mizuno customer support when the manufacture date of my irons was based on the serial number. They responded with a manufacture date of 8/29/2013.
What I am starting to believe happened was I was charged shipping, made to wait a week and then sold a set of irons they already had in the store. Does Mizuno charge shipping for "custom" set of irons to a retailer? Am I looking too much into this or did I get charged shipping for some old stock they had?
Thanks for the insight.
