Just like any of us, a billiard cue needs a little care from time to time!
The tip wears down, splits, or is completely missing; the ferrule is loose or already cracked; there is paint damage on the butt after an uncontrolled reaction; or the wrap feels unpleasantly sticky:
As long as a cue is not broken into several pieces, it is always worth considering a repair or refurbishment before buying a new one. Welcome to the repair shop!
Simply send us "your pride and joy" by mail! The post office has suitable packaging, but please make sure to wrap the cue separately, ideally using bubble wrap. We recommend shipping in tubes! Please note: Post offices charge a premium for shipping tubes. Shipments are insured up to a goods value of EUR 500. For more expensive models (or multiple cues), we recommend purchasing additional insurance separately.
The easiest procedure: Select/add the required repairs to your shopping cart here, choose your preferred payment method, and send your cue(s) to us:
Ship your cue to:
Billard Dienst/Arthur Queue
Marcus Dienst
Siemensstrasse 11
67227 Frankental
Germany
If you want to send multiple shafts, we recommend marking them beforehand. Simple masking tape is easy to write on and can be removed without leaving any residue. Note: We will return your cue via DPD, UPS, or DHL.
If you have given any of these companies a "drop-off authorization (authority to leave)", we would like to point out as a precaution that you will essentially lose insurance coverage for this parcel should it go missing or be damaged after the driver has marked it as "delivered". We strongly recommend not granting drop-off authorizations, or revoking them!
If you are unsure about the repair, you can of course also send us your cues accompanied by a good old-fashioned letter (please include your return address, phone number (!!), and an email address if possible). We will contact you once your shipment has arrived to discuss the next steps and the resulting costs. In addition to the actual processing time, please allow about 1 day for processing in our office and about 2 days for return shipping.
Repairs from non-EU countries (e.g., Switzerland, USA): When shipping via courier services, please make sure to include a pro forma invoice, NOT a commercial invoice.
Note: Cues are made of wood and are therefore natural products that react sensitively to temperature fluctuations. Please do not leave your cue in the car during summer, winter, or overnight, and do not store it in the immediate vicinity of a heater.
Due to their special material properties, carbon shafts require a fundamentally different handling compared to conventional wooden shafts. Please note, therefore, that for service work on carbon shafts (e.g., tip or ferrule replacement), a surcharge of €5.00 will be applied compared to the standard prices for wooden shafts due to the increased time required and the necessary specialized treatment. Thank you for your understanding – this ensures that your equipment maintains its accustomed performance even after maintenance.
Quick-order item for those familiar with the tips. For more information on the tips, we recommend viewing the individual items grouped by leather type. We can fit your shaft with a new leather tip, replace the ferrule, or refurbish it. Please send your cue to: Arthur Queue, Siemensstrasse 11, 67227 Frankenthal, Germany If you wish to send multiple shafts, we recommend marking them beforehand. Standard masking tape is easy to write on and can be removed without leaving a residue. Note: We return your cue via DPD, UPS, or DHL. If you have granted any of these carriers "authorization to leave the package" (permission to drop off the parcel without a signature), please be aware that doing so effectively voids insurance coverage for the package should it go missing or sustain damage after the driver has marked it as "delivered." We strongly recommend against granting—or advise revoking—such authorization!

Special hard-weave ferrule: the old ferrule and tip are removed and replaced with a Break-Jump ferrule (without a tip). This means no more changing tips—the ferrule itself is chalked—and ensures extremely direct power transmission during breaks and jump shots! Is this a carbon shaft? Please add the "Carbon Handling" option to your order! A quick tip from our workshop: the Break-Jump ferrule requires a little maintenance, too. The edge of the ferrule should always be slightly chamfered (beveled); therefore, just like a standard tip, it needs to be worked on occasionally using a bit of sandpaper or a tip shaper.

The old grip wrap will be removed, and a new Irish Linen grip wrap will be applied. Please send your cue to: Arthur Queue, Siemensstrasse 11, D-67227 Frankenthal/Germany If you wish to send multiple shafts, we recommend marking them beforehand. Simple masking tape is easy to write on and can be removed without leaving any residue. Thick rubber grip wraps (as shown in the image marked with a red X) cannot be replaced with Irish Linen. Manufacturers include, for example, Lucasi, Predator, etc. Switching from a leather grip to an Irish Linen wrap? In principle, this is not a problem; however, leather grips are usually thicker than the linen wrap, meaning the wrap would not sit flush with the rest of the cue after installation. The grip area must therefore be built up (padded) to compensate. This incurs additional costs, to be determined on an individual basis. Please send in your cue; we will contact you to discuss the details after we have inspected it. Note: We ship your cue back via DPD, UPS, or DHL. If you have granted a "delivery release" (permission to leave packages unattended) to any of these carriers, we wish to point out—as a precautionary measure—that doing so effectively voids the insurance coverage for this package should it go missing or be damaged after the driver has marked it as "delivered."
