“Ordered 2 kids tops on 10 December realising probably wouldn’t receive before Christmas - now 11 January still not received! Wish I had checked for reviews before ordering as I would NOT have used this site! Now I’m hoping that if they do arrive they are not fakes especially at the price I was charged!”
“Still waiting on order placed 9th January for a christmas present. Did talk to someone before Christmas and was told item being despatched that day! Lies all lies. Now no one answers the phone just put on hold for ages then cut off. Disgusting DONT USE THIS COMPANY TOTAL SCAM!! Of course they've taken the money. A disgrace!!!!”
“Ordered a football shirt on 12th December as a Christmas present for my son. The item still hasn’t arrived. Emails and phone calls are completely ignored. Do not order from them!”
“Ordered a gift for my nephew on 12th December, it hasn’t arrived.
They take your money & don’t provide the goods.
Shocking customer services
They don’t respond to emails, or the online form. Customer service calls keep you on hold for ages & then cut you off.
AVOID THIS SHAM ORGANISATION AT ALL COSTS - save your money & spend elsewhere.”
“Ordered a football shirt on 10 December. Still no sign and no response to emails or phone calls.
Do not order from this company as they take your money and do not provide the goods.”
“DO NOT ORDER!!!
I ordered on 10th December and still havent received my parcel. This was a Santa present so we had to go out and frantically find the same top before Christmas.
I still havent heard back from them...19 days later. I have emailed them, tried the phone line.
THIS IS A SCAM!”
“Warning to UK Shoppers: Avoid Rapid Athletic if you don’t want Counterfeit Goods
I recently purchased a product from Rapid Athletic (rapid-athletic.co.uk), and I believe the item I received is counterfeit. After comparing it to an authentic Adidas product, there are clear differences in quality, labelling, and overall finish.
The company claims to be a UK-based retailer, but its listed address is in Sofia, Bulgaria. This is a red flag, as it raises questions about their operations and product authenticity.
If you’ve been affected:
1. Request a Refund: Under UK consumer law (Consumer Rights Act 2015), you are entitled to a refund for counterfeit or misrepresented goods. Contact Rapid Athletic directly and request one.
2. Report to Trading Standards: Use Citizens Advice to report the seller and counterfeit goods to Trading Standards for investigation: Report Fake Goods Here.
3. Request a Chargeback: If you paid by debit or credit card, contact your card provider to initiate a chargeback for goods that are not as described. Credit card purchases are also protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act.
Why You Should Be Cautious:
• Many reviews suggest Rapid Athletic has sold counterfeit products.
• The company has a low trust rating on websites like ScamAdviser.
• Their lack of a verifiable UK business registration adds to concerns.
I strongly advise UK shoppers to avoid this website and explore trusted retailers when buying sportswear. Counterfeit goods not only waste your money but also compromise product safety and quality.
This version outlines the issue, provides actionable advice, and makes it clear that the company is based in Sofia while presenting a warning to other shoppers.”
“They are scammers ! Please don’t order from them - they take your money and then don’t send order. You then try and chase it up - nobody ever answers the phone number provided and when you email they send you emails always saying “ your item will be dispatched in the next day . Positive reviews are also fake. We are reporting this as fraud - please DO NOT order - at some point this will get shut down as it’s not a company that’s actually trading - just scammers but until then beware !!!!!”
“DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. I ordered a Mens Shirt with personalised name and number on the back of it. They do not keep you updated in the process . Been waiting 2 months and still no sign of it arriving , still waiting for full refund. I am really disgusted and shocked at the awful service and lack of communication from this company. NEVER ORDER FROM THEM EVER, SHAMBLES COMPANY AND SCAMMERS”
“You got one star for a top I recieved. I ordered another two football tops which I was assured were the right size but they were too small. Was assured I would get a refund so I sent them back..... 3 weeks layer & NO refund, I have sent so many emails about refund & now I don't even get a reply. This is ridiculous”
