Disappointed

Order placed a week went by with no update. I ended up contacting them and the response was.” Unfortunately, DPD’s system has still not been updated and as we do not have sufficient stock to reprocess your order I have requested your full refund instead” with no apology and could not of had the stock I. The first place. If I had not contacted how long would this have gone on for.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the experience you've had with this order.

You are right to be frustrated. You should not have had to contact us to find out there was a problem, and we should have proactively updated you as soon as we identified the stock and courier issue on our end. That fell short of the standard we aim to provide, and we're sorry for the lack of communication and the missing apology in our initial response to you.

To confirm, your refund has been processed immediately and you should see this reflected in your account within 48 hours working, depending on your bank.

If there's anything else we can help with, please don't hesitate to contact us directly at, and we'll be happy to assist.

Thank you again for your patience, and we apologise once more for the inconvenience caused.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to give less than 1 star so 1 star it is. The number of calls that I have had to make to sort issues with my orders is ridiculous. Polite customer service but my issues remain unresolved. Emails remain unanswered. Promises made to call me back but haven’t heard back from them ever

Errors in delivery and short delivery

I ordered 10 boxes of tennis balls to be delivered to my house. Later I get an email advising the delivery is going to my local post office, which I specifically DID NOT WANT. When the delivery finally arrived it was short by 2 boxes of tennis balls, further one box of tennis balls was NOT what I ordered and had been substituted for an inferior brand which I had not been advised of. The next day the "missing" two boxes were again delivered to my local post office (NOT my house as requested), then I had to wait several days for the incorrect box of balls to be collected, whilst the correct (10th) box were again delivered to the post office. Sweatband were slow in responding and gave no apologies or reasons for the substituted inferior tennis balls.

I will NEVER order from them again, customer service is POOR.

Thank you for taking the time to detail your experience with us, and please accept our sincere apologies for the service you received on this order.

We're sorry that despite both your original order and the replacement being raised for delivery to your home address, the carrier redirected your parcels to your local Post Office rather than your house as requested. This should not have happened, and we will be investigating directly with DPD why your address instructions were not followed on this occasion.

We're also sorry that your order arrived short by two boxes, and that one box was substituted with a different brand without any prior notice to you. You should never have had to identify these discrepancies yourself, and we recognise the inconvenience this caused, from the missing boxes to arranging the return of the incorrect item.

Looking back through our communication I can see communication delays may have occurred during out of main office hours;
Thursday Aug 20, 08:58 → Friday Aug 21, 12:02
Friday Aug 21, 12:21 → Monday Aug 24, 16:59

We're glad the replacement balls and return of the incorrect item have now been arranged, and we will be feeding this experience back internally, both on carrier performance and on our response times to help improve these and ensure this doesn't happen again.

If there's anything further we can do, please don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Great online store to get your tennis stuffs

All items ordered arrived in good time. The prices for the tennis items I bought were ok, compared to other online stores and they are of good quality.

Thank you for your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the significant delay you experienced with this delivery.

We understand your order was quoted a 3-day delivery timeframe, but instead took over three weeks to arrive. This is far outside of what we promise our customers, and we completely understand your frustration at being left waiting so much longer than expected, with no delivery in sight for weeks beyond the original estimate.

We're sorry for the inconvenience and uncertainty this carrier delay caused you. We will be raising this with them to understand what caused such an extensive delay and to help prevent this happening again.

Excellent delivery of a bulk item

Excellent delivery of a bulk item, was delivered fast and on stated date to the highlands.
I’ve been looking at cable machines for sometime and the price of this one was to good to miss. I haven’t built it yet but it’s made by adidas so I’m sure it will be good. Would definitely buy from sweatband again.

Fast, on-time delivery all the way to the Highlands for a bulky item — that's a proper logistics win! 🚚💪 Sounds like this cable machine was the one you'd been waiting for, and with Adidas behind it, we reckon your instincts are spot on. Enjoy the build, and thanks for saying you'll be back — we can't wait to have you again!

Excellent experience and service

I purchased an Adidas multi gym and unfortunately it had a part missing but after contacting their service team a replacement was sent within few days. A great piece of kit from a great company with a fantastic customer service. Highly recommended.

A missing part could've been a hassle, but a speedy replacement turned it into a proper good news story! 💪 So glad the Adidas multi gym is complete and doing its job — thanks for the kind words and the recommendation, we really appreciate it!

Would Recommend

Bought treadmill but decided to cancel. Rang up, no issues. Ordered another one instead. Items as described/expected. Didn't receive email confirmation with second order though, so wasn't sure if it was being processed until I received delivery details. Would use again.

The quality of purchases were excellent…

The quality of purchases were excellent but a lot of the items were sold out in sizes, and your stock is very limited.

Great to hear the quality hit the mark! 🌟 Sorry the sizes weren't playing ball though — we know how frustrating it is to find the perfect item only for your size to be missing. We'll pass this along, as we're always working on improving our stock availability. Thanks for the honest feedback!
