Review of adsport.store


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Don't deserve the one star

Delighted to be the first person to review this joke of a company on trustpilot and hopefully stop others getting scammed.

Made 2 orders and after spending 16 days in Belgium the first order arrived, it was missing a tshirt, company claims it was sent and must have been taken in transit.

Second order arrived a few days later but I was on holidays, arrived home yesterday to find an empty bag had been delivered, I couldn't believe it, I don't care where or when something is being stolen, its your responsibility not mine.

Please don't order from this company, it won't end well.

I'll buy again

Very happy with my purchase from bulk, went for the natural chocolate whey as try to avoid artificial sweeteners as much as possible.
It tasted great, not overly sweet like most shakes, will definitely buy again.

Review of Gym King


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent

I made my first purchase from GymKing recently as I was frustrated that a competing company was constantly out of sizes on their items, I found that there was a nice range of options on their site, they had every size available on most items and most importantly the tshirts arrived and the quality and fit were bang on, will definitely purchase from them again

Review of Paul Byron


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great

Recently ordered a pair of shoes and they were dispatched and delivered in a few days but were too big, the returns process was very easy, I just popped the slip in the box stating I wanted a smaller size and I recieved them inside a week, this is exactly what we are looking for as customers, an easy transaction, not trying to deal with customer service and waiting an age for responses

Great

Ordered from runnerinn recently and would definitely recommend, the trainers I ordered came at the best price I could find online and they were delivered in about a week to Ireland, will definitely use runnerinn again.

Review of refurbed


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Shocking

Genuinely shocked by all the good reviews, ordered early December, delivery was supposed to be 11th-15th, no word so checked today and was told it would be despatched tomorrow (very convenient), so I called the bluff and said if it's not so I'll have a refund, few hours later, refund.
They never had any intention of dispatching that phone tomorrow, no contact about delay and then just lie to me when I follow up, shocking behaviour


Edit - ordered a phone today off Mint+ at 11am, got a txt off DPD that phone will be here tomorrow, night and day experience

Review of Gymshark


Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Bang average

Going by price to quality ratio its probably not a bad option for people but I'd rather pay a bit extra as quality isn't great.

Cons - items and sizes seem to be out of stock constantly.

You won't get refunded automatically, you have to chase it up and they tell you it was an error, it wasn't, it's always been thar way for me.

Sizes are way off, regular fit stuff is fine but muscle/compression fit is miles off, if you're a M in slim you'll be an XL in muscle.





Pros- staff are polite and efficient when contacted.

Stuff is nicely designed and looks well

Some clothing ranges, the sports range wash well and last a long time

Review of Sportsdirect.com


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

A shower of sh#ts

This company are simply a disgrace, they are partaking in false advertising and are about as trustworthy as fellas selling clothing from the boot of a car.

I ordered shorts which obviously had pictures on the website, they sent me different shorts, same brand, different logo ('old stock').

I had to claim through PayPal, they'll refund me but are charging me €14 to return something I never ordered in the first place, no apology either for the whole sh#t show

Review of eSpares.ie


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Dodgy

Bought a squeegee attachment for a power washer, usually despatched in 2 weeks apparently.

Got same email over 2 month period saying part would be in stock in 2-4 weeks, just got same email again so that would be a 3 month minimum wait.

Cancelled order and got order cancellation email, nothing about a refund, asked about refund, was told I'll get it back through PayPal, when?

Shouldn't accept money unless part is available

Excellent service

Shocked to see how bad the reviews are as never had a problem, my recent order arrived with the box ripped open and 2 T-Shirts missing, I emailed customer service the pictures and had my refund within days, thought they were excellent, will definitely continue to be a customer

Sort the tracking

The link for tracking just went dead and 8 days later the package turned up so think the link should follow the package till its delivered.
But the product was very good and it was the best price around, I would use again
