Overpriced uniform and the discount…
Overpriced uniform and the discount codes are a scam

Reply from Hawkinsport & Son
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
School uniform is a specialist product, with garments designed to meet individual school requirements and standards. We understand that it can be a significant expense for families, and we always aim to keep our pricing as fair and transparent as possible while continuing to provide high-quality, school-approved garments.
We're also concerned to read your comments about our discount codes, as they're certainly never intended to be misleading. We'd really appreciate the opportunity to understand what happened and investigate this further.
Please feel free to contact our customer service team at sales@hawkinsport.co.uk with a few more details, and we'll do our very best to help.

Very knowledge, helpful, sorted out the new school uniform fitting in a calm and friendly manner.

Experienced helpers
The shop was well staffed so it meant we didn’t wait to be helped. The staff we spoke to all knew uniform requirements very well and were all extremely helpful when we had additional questions. My child was able to try on the uniform in a spacious dressing room and if we needed different sizes they were readily available on the shop floor. Everyone was friendly and attentive.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Camilla. We’re really pleased to hear the team made the uniform fitting process smooth and stress-free for you and your child.
We know how important it is to have knowledgeable staff on hand during uniform fitting, so it’s great to hear you felt well looked after and able to get the right sizes easily. We’ll pass your kind comments on to the team and hope to see you soon 😊
Disappointing sizing
The service and delivery was good.
Unfortunately, the sizing was way off kilter. I am usually a 12, so ordered a Medium, which is said to be 12-14. It is not. It is far too tight. Sadly, as I had it personalised I cannot return it.
Please be more accurate with your sizing; I had a similar problem a while ago with the women’s shorts, but at least they were able to be returned

Thank you for your feedback, Megan. We’re really sorry to hear the garment wasn’t sized as expected. The sizing information shown online is provided directly by the manufacturer as fit can vary between brands and styles. We will certainly pass your feedback on.
While personalised items are normally non-returnable, we’d be very happy to take a look and see whether there is anything we can do on this occasion. Please email us at sales@hawkinsport.co.uk

Went to get a racquet restrung
Went to get a racquet restrung. The lady was very helpful and knew what she was taking about. She said at one point she was almost certain about the type I needed but checked before going ahead with my order.
I left my racquet one day and it was ready the next’s an excellent job all round.

Excellent after care service
They took my son's hockey stick in because there was a rattle from inside. Last time this happened, it was a simple fix to take some tiny bits of carbon fibre out. However, after an hour of trying they still couldn't remove the rattle. So, they are sending the stick back to Gray's because it should still be under warranty, and they provided me with a brand new stick of the same type from Gray's, with a small payment to cover the difference in price. I think this is fabulous customer service and it ha cemented my trust in an already very trustworthy shop. Highly recommended!

Thanks so much for your thoughtful review, Rupert.
We’re really pleased we could help get the situation sorted for your son. While we always hope for a quick fix, sometimes the right solution is making sure the product goes back to the manufacturer, and we’re glad we could provide a replacement straight away so he wasn’t left without a stick.
Your trust and support means so much to us, and we truly appreciate the recommendation. We look forward to helping you both again in the future.
Excellent service
Excellent service. Would use again. Hawkinsport is a company that stocks a number of the sports brands my son wears.

We look forward to seeing you again soon 😊
