“Ordered 3 in 1 jacket. Appears good quality until you try it on. Shoulders massive and body very tight. Bad fit. I dont have this problem with other clothes. I have paid £4.99 delivery charge and now have to pay to return this ill-fitting jacket. Will not be ordering on-line again. Also will not be buying in shop as no refunds given.”

“I ordered a golf polo shirt and the sizing was completely wrong. I ordered a large and the label said large but the shirt was massive on me. Whilst a sizing issue is more of a manufacturer issues the people at Sports Direct had no interest in helping me. My learning from my experience is that is is better to pay more at a store and get a product that fits than taking a risk online purchases from suppliers that provide poor service once they send the goods.”

“The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Today I visited the Brent cross branch where I wanted to return an item I had bought 10 minutes earlier and I was told in very rude way by a someone in charge called Jasmine that you can not have a refund because this is a company policy and you get a voucher to spend at Sport Direct no refund. As a customer I feel very sorry for for Sport Direct as a company that have implemented this kind of policy to maximize its profit. As a customer point of view my advice is to think twice before you by something at Sport Direct.”

“The worst online shopping experience I ever hat. Bought 2 pair of shoes, paid for shipping on 09.02.2022. Delivery was supposed to take 3 days, after 13 I contacted the seller. I wrote more than 40 emails, every answer is the same. I need to wait. It has now been 52 days and I still haven't gotten the parcel, neither will they return the money, because they will do that when they get the parcel back. As the parcel is obviously lost, they avoid returning my money. I call this fraud! DO NOT BUY THERE! I SURE WON'T ANY MORE! They contacted the courier. Any new update takes days. And nothing new comes out of it. Disgrace! I bought on an the austrian website, and I need to write to their support in english. My english is not perfect, so please excuse me for any mistakes I make. The support also just keeps copy pasting same answers, not even taking the energy to sign with their names some of the time. They are clearly not motivated for this to be resolved, as the company does not lose anything. But I will write reviews anywhere, I can, so people do not fall in their trap again.”

“If I could give you 0 stars... I contacted your team on webchat because my parcel was late and felt that your website did not set the right expectations in terms of delivery times. Your advisor replied with 'LOL' and ended the chat (I have a screenshot of the conversation). I don't know what to say, this was absolutely not a funny situation, this experience was stressful. This is extremely poor customer service, the poorest.”

“I'm writing to complain about one of your shop's in Sligo Ireland, I've been a very good customer to sports direct for year's but never again or would I recommend it anymore to anyone, I bought a no fear jacket hood was far to big so I went to return it, the so called shop manager was unbelievably ignorant and of no help whatever as was the cashier in the first place, I had the receipt and clearly the jacket was not worn in any way one tag was not on the jacket so she would not let me return, I was going to spend the credit note there anyways, I always recommended sports direct but never again and never will shop there again, your store manager in the Sligo store need's a retail communication skills course or a complete change of career. Extremely disappointed.”

“I knew before I went to sports direct Meadowhall,I would have a problem finding the right shoe as I take a 10.5. A staff member named Aaron came to help me,After looking at the popular names,he suggested Slazenger and brought for me 2 different sizes before finding the right ones Aron should be Oscar nominated for best supporting role. Well done sports direct Meadowhall.”

“Shocking service, apparently the website stock levels don't work, no communication on out of stock products, feel sorry for the customer service people having to deal with incompetence like this! Mike - I'm sure you can integrate live stock into your website? oh and perhaps an email telling me it's out of stock instead of wasting my time for a second time.”

“Although it was the courier service that let me down on Next Day Delivery, Sports, Direct Customer Services went over and above what was necessary to make sure that I was happy with my purchase and overall experience. The correspondence was polite and fast and they even followed up to make sure that everything was resolved and that I was happy. Thank you Sports Direct Customer Services (Sam) for a pleasant transaction and immediate resolution to the couriers error. I highly recommend Sports Direct for quality of polite customer service, quality of merchandise and the vast selection of sportswear, active wear and equipment available and all at affordable prices. Thank you.”

“The ‘Ryan Air’ of the clothing world… orders are slow to be dispatched despite the fact you must pay £5 for delivery. Customer service is basically non-existent. No telephone number to call and the web chat is just a useless robot. I wanted to change the delivery address on an order that has not been dispatched and the big standard message on their website is ‘it’s not possible’. A day later, my order has still not been picked so why can I not change the delivery address? Inflexible, non-customer focussed. Hate paying for delivery and returns - you even pay to deliver to the store and collect yourself. Won’t use SportsDirect again.”
