Damaged Goods?

If a package arrives damaged, call us immediately. If the driver is still present, ask that the damage be noted. This will expedite shipping claims.

If the package is damaged but the merchandise appears unaffected, note the damage on all delivery receipts before signing.

Viking Cue in Compliance with United States’ Ban on Ivory Trade

February 11, 2014, The United States announced a new strategy that bans the commercial trade of ivory. Agreeing with this decision, Viking Cue will never, buy, sell, or use any ivory in any of its cues, nor will they service or repair any cue, which contain ivory components.

The ban on ivory trade is necessary to combat the terrible process of poaching, which is decimating the populations of the African and Asian elephants to the point of extinction. The ivory from elephants’ tusks is not only used in billiard products, but also in musical instruments, mainly piano keys and guitar inlays, so we urge all musicians to make sure that their instruments are free of ivory. We also urge anyone living in a part of the world where ivory trade is legal to speak out and ask shops to stop the sell of ivory. Not only does is cost the life of an elephant but also traumatizes the elephant population.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND US ANY CUES FOR SERVICE/REPAIR THAT MAY HAVE IVORY INLAY OR COMPONENTS.

If you are not sure whether your cue has real ivory pieces or imitations please check with a reputable antiques dealer near you.
