ASER 2010 Publication Schedule

Palmdale, CA, February 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The AVID Soccer Equipment Review tests products throughout the year. ASER recommends manufacturers provide at least two examples of a product to ensure that a defect in one does not skew the results of the test. ASER encourages manufacturers to provide care instructions, a standard marketing package, manufacturing/materials details and other relevant information. Reviews may take up to 3-4 weeks to complete and up to 14 days to appear on the site. ASER is happy to work with manufacturers and retailers to schedule publication to coincide with other marketing/release events on a best efforts basis.

If a product needs to be returned, it must be accompanied by adequate packaging and pre-paid shipping (FedEx or USPS preferred). Please note that testing under real world conditions may result in damage. AVID Soccer is not responsible for damage resulting from testing or shipping.
