Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 497 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Consumers frequently struggled with terrible customer service, finding it impossible to speak to anyone on the phone and receiving no replies to submitted online support forms. Reviewers also noted missing deliveries, frustratingly long shipping delays, and occasionally receiving faulty or incorrect merchandise. Conversely, a small portion of people felt satisfied when items arrived quickly and customer support members provided helpful, prompt assistance. Some reviewers highlighted that specific staff members were extremely responsive when handling stadium visits or resolving order hiccups. A few shoppers also mentioned that once replacements were processed, the overall service improved nicely.

Major issues with two recent orders which remain unresolved

Major issues with two recent orders which remain unresolved:

- Order: A58899536 - The first order was for two ‘champions’ t shirts. Arsenal Direct debuted my card four times (!) and despite contacting via the online form some days ago I have heard nothing back and am still significantly out of pocket.

- Order A63923679. The second order was placed by my wife for our new away kit, in size large, intended as a birthday present. When the kit arrived, it was a size medium. Again contact raised via the form with no response yet and no option to call or speak to anyone.

Unsure when or how either of these issues are going to be resolved.

Order number A63787399 spent £150 which was painful enough, but wanted my son to have a treat
Still not been sent after 3 weeks, can see on some reviews people are waiting weeks.
Arsenal have taken my money, but refuse to respond to any of my enquiries with regards to my order.
Really upset, customer service is appalling. I have one upset little boy.
Arsenal please contact me, at least give me my money back I've saved for 4 months to buy these products for a birthday. You don't even have the decency to refund me.
I will never purchase from u again.
You're behaviour as a club, taking people's money that have supported you all their lives it's fraudulent

The ordering process was smooth and easy and the dispatch to Evri was very quick. I can not undertake why you chose to use Evri as a delivery company. Their service is absolutely shocking. They had my parcel for a week before it moved and then kept getting updates to say it was going to be delivered and then updates saying it had been delayed multiple times. When it did finally arrived, the outer box was absolutely soaking. Luckily the items insider were well packaged so were all fine. This was a birthday present for my other half and even though I ordered it in plenty of time, it missed his birthday by 3 days. Please give more options for delivery other then Evri. I can see from the other reviews on here that others have also had a terrible experience with Evri also.

Don't bother using them

Awful service. I now have two missing orders with Arsenal Direct where Evri have said the package is missing and I cannot contact Arsenal Direct as its only a form online and still haven't heard anything. One order has been missing since the end of May and the second order totaling almost £300 has been 'lost' by Evri. Awful awful service and you can't speak to a human to resolve it. Shocking

Placed in order on 21st July for two items. One item arrived on 25th July with second item missing and no delivery slip stati g whether items were to be delivered separately. Order shows and complete and delivered in my online account and money for complete order has been taken. Completed online form on 25th July, still no response. Have also tried calling and emailing direct but neither are active. Absolutely disgusting customer service.

Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful , come home to a missing parcel after the delivery company left it on my front door step , normal companies have a live chat or a number , arsenal have neither , you pay £100 for a top which in this day and age is allot of money but have to fill out a form in which on there website says might be pushed to the back of the queue , now to wait for a reply and a replacement shirt to hopefully be sent out

I have tried so many times to contact customer services via the contact us form on the Arsenal website and I have had no response. Hoping I will now get a reply!

I placed an order A63705432 on the 24th of July and still have not received my order.

I then contacted Evri, the courier that had my item. Please see their response below:

Thank you for getting in touch with your enquiry regarding parcel T078FA0001408120 and advising us that you have not received it.

I have looked into this for you and I can confirm that we have been unable to deliver this parcel as it has sustained some form of damage whilst on its journey to you. When this situation occurs, our depot team will assess the extent of the damage. On this occasion, I’m afraid we had to dispose of the parcel.

I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by this, I can appreciate this will undoubtedly be a disappointing outcome for you. Each parcel goes through several handling and transportation processes and on rare occasions, this may happen.

The swiftest way to resolve this matter would be to contact the retailer/sender of this parcel and they can make any further arrangements necessary for you, which may include a replacement or a refund.

If you need anything in future, please contact your Evri Customer Service Team and we'll be happy to help.

Kind regards,

Evri Customer Services

Can someone please get back to me and send a replacement and also refund my shipping as I feel this is way too long to wait for my order!

1 Star – Extremely Disappointing Customer Service

My experience with Arsenal Direct has been extremely disappointing.

My order was marked as delivered, but I never received it. I reported the issue immediately and fully cooperated with every request throughout their investigation. Despite this, I have now been waiting for weeks with no resolution.

The most frustrating part has been the communication. Responses have been generic, repetitive, and unhelpful, simply stating that the matter has been forwarded to another team. After sending a detailed follow-up requesting an update, I have now gone over a week without any response at all.

As the retailer, Arsenal should take responsibility for resolving issues like this promptly. Instead, I have been left chasing for updates while still being without the goods I paid for.

I expected far better customer service from a club of Arsenal’s size and reputation. Until this matter is resolved, I cannot recommend ordering from Arsenal Direct.

EDIT - 7 days since posting this, I have done what Arsenal have said and I haven’t even received a response, if I could go lower then one stars I would.
Additionally, the investigation I started with even I was told to contact retailer which has again amounted to no response. So unprofessional.

Ordered over a week or so ago for my son's birthday.They said it would be delivered in 4-7 days.Now just got a message that dispatch is delayed so my son won't have his present on his birthday and it's being delivered by EVRI who are notorious for missing/stolen deliveries.
Really advise against using this website.Better to go to the shop and buy in person.I would give 0 stars if I could...be warned! .I am in London,UK
Uodate:After opening up a complaint ticket things moved ahead and EVRI delivered today

Shop elsewhere!

*UPDATE*
After leaving the below review Arsenal got back to my review below but not from the online forms. They than emailed me asking for more details. They are now sending out my missing item so for now ive given them an extra star rather than 1 star and let's see if this parcel turns up and how long it takes.
Original order date 24th July
Delivered 30th July
Contacted straight away regarding missing items on 30th July
Trustilot review left on 2nd or 3rd August - After a few emails on 5th Aug between Arsenal and myself they have processed a replacement on 5th Aug now let's see!
___________________________________________
I ordered 3 kits- 2 kids kits and 1 adult kit which were all gifts for special occasions. The Adult kit never arrived but both the kids kit did.Contacted but no response. Cant speak to anyone on the phone and im still chasing. I wished I looked at the reviews first before spending £172. I will not be ordered from Arsenal ever again! I just want my refund!

Order Number A64039293
Evri haven't delivered my Arsenal shirt and £111 has been taken out of my account. I'm not happy and there is no customer service number to talk to anyone at Arsenal Direct I've now contacted my bank. Someone has obviously stolen the shirt via Evri judging by other customers reviews on here. I need a replacement and delivered by another courier or a refund as this is not acceptable

Missing and faulty items and no response from customer service

I ordered three items from Arsenal Direct (Order Confirmation Number: A63164656 - home shirt, mug and T-shirt) but only the home shirt and mug arrived.
I immediately contacted Arsenal Direct via their online form but have received nothing other than the automated response and it has now been nearly 2 weeks and it is not possible to speak to anyone to complain. What absolutely awful customer service.
In addition, the writing on the mug is now fading away despite only being used twice and so I would like my money back.

Extremely disappointing experience with Arsenal Direct

I placed an order with Arsenal Direct on 15 May 2026 for a home shirt and mini kit (Order A57316713). It has now been over two months, and I am still waiting for my order to be resolved.

I have made numerous attempts to contact Arsenal Direct to get this issue sorted, but despite repeatedly trying to resolve the matter directly, I have been left without a satisfactory solution or clear resolution.

It is extremely disappointing that after waiting this long and making multiple attempts to contact customer service, I now feel that leaving a Trustpilot review is the only way to get some attention and hopefully have this matter resolved.

I expected much better service from Arsenal Direct. I would appreciate someone from the team taking ownership of this issue and resolving it as soon as possible.

Charged Twice for one incorrect delivery and can't return it , nothing yet resolved

Ordered the Champions Top: appreciate took time (over a month - as most waiting, one enters payment details for deduction, when top is available). Problem 1 when it comes it's a slim fit, medium. Ordered a regular medium. Try to return it, less than a week after receipt but Problem 2 - online says "order outside the returns window" - you have 14 days statutory and Arsenal Direct say they offer 28 days. Problem 3, I find that whilst payment was deducted on 27 June, the day before dispatch , I find out they have also charged me earlier on 22 June!!!!!! Another £148!!!! So put this all on their customer service form; they respond 2.5 weeks later but only about the wrong order; not the double charge. In this response on email; they say will investigate the order, want me to take photos of it?! And if there’s anything else. So I upload the photo but also tell them that they need to address the double payment. No further responses a week later. They never had permission to take a payment twice and concerned that this may be more than just computer error. Such action may be a breach of the contract they issue with selling this product by taking a payment twice: section 9.7 states “We will not charge your credit or debit card until your order is in the despatch process”. It was not being dispatched in and around 22 June.

This has been one of the most frustrating online shopping experiences I've had.

I ordered an Arsenal shirt for my son's birthday on 7 July. I was told it had been dispatched on 8 July, but the tracking simply showed it as delayed. I received no updates and no communication from Arsenal Direct.

After repeatedly trying to contact customer services, I eventually discovered that the parcel had been lost in transit. This was only confirmed after I chased them. I was then offered a replacement (Order A64216324) and was assured it would be sent by express delivery and arrive by Wednesday, or Thursday at the latest.

It never arrived.

I emailed again requesting an update, a refund if delivery wasn't possible before I went on holiday, and details of the complaints procedure. I received no response at all.

The biggest disappointment is that this was bought well in advance for my son's birthday. Had Arsenal Direct simply been honest about the delays, I could have bought the same shirt from another retailer. Instead, my son went without the present I'd planned, and I'm now left chasing a refund.

Mistakes happen. Losing a parcel is unfortunate. What isn't acceptable is the lack of communication, the broken promises, and having to chase every step of the process.

I expected much better from Arsenal Football Club. Sadly, the customer service has been poor from start to finish.
