am genuinely astonished at the level of incompetence and disregard for customer satisfaction I experienced with a recent online order from Dick's Sporting Goods. This was, without a doubt, the worst online retail experience I have ever had. The order was placed and immediately went into a "pending shipment" status, where it languished for a full four weeks. Four weeks! Not a single update, not a word of explanation. It was as if my order had fallen into a black hole. After a month of waiting, I decided enough was enough and called to cancel the order. A customer service representative, who seemed completely unconcerned, promised me that the cancellation would be processed. I was explicitly told the order would be cancelled. You would think that would be the end of it, but you would be wrong. Instead of the promised cancellation, my order suddenly, miraculously, shipped. It was a bait-and-switch of the highest order. They lied to my face, ignored my request, and shipped the product anyway. This level of operational failure and outright deceit is unacceptable. They held my money for a month, lied about canceling the order, and then shipped it only after I attempted to cut my losses. Never again. I will be taking my business elsewhere and actively encouraging others to do the same. This company has proven it cannot be trusted.
