Absolute joke of a company

Absolute joke of a company. Sent me a pair of trainers out that were too big so needed to return. Couldn’t generate a return label on the Shop App as the order wasn’t showing on there for some reason so they told me to contact Side Kicks direct. I’ve sent 5 messages and opened up a live chat and my wife has done the same and no one replies. There is no working phone number either so now have a pair of £150 trainers I can’t return. DO NOT order online off these.

Avoid this online store

Tried numerous times to contact them regarding a return, still waiting for a response.
My husband also tried emailing, using online contact form & live chat. Awful customer service, I'd avoid buying online from them.

Dont trust "All customs duties .. are included"

Dont trust "All customs duties, taxes, and import fees are included in the price you pay. There are no surprise charges upon delivery. We handle everything so your order arrives without any delays or extra costs.". My package has been sitting 2 weeks at UPS as import charges havnt been paid. I contacted sidekicks 2 times about this and got told they were checking it out. Today i got a call from ups(as they got that now from the shipper but didnt have it before). Going to be annoying but atleast i got all the proof i need to chargeback in the worst case

Edit: opened a chargeback 04/02 after sidekicks didnt do anything about it for 2+ weeks and sidekicks payed the import charges on 04/07 and i did finnaly receive the package 04/10 and i ordered it on 03/08

9 days, 6 working days since order, no idea when will recieve goods

Ordered on 21st March, since order, no way of tracking order status other than to email. Emails back just say order is in progress. Told 3-7 working days, today is working day 6, email from UPS yesterday said delivery would be today, further email from them this morning now saying they cannot confirm when delivery will be as they have not received the order!!!! How and why can it take so long, why can I not get in touch by phone, order tracking via SHOP is a waste of time. Based on this service, I will not use you again and will not recommend you. Impossible to actually talk to anyone, have to rely on emails. Sent one this morning, now 6 hours later and no response and still not further forward in knowing when I will get the items paid for on the 21st March.....shocking

Hi there - we’re really sorry to read this, we completely understand how frustrating this situation must feel, especially with the mixed updates and lack of clear tracking.

To clarify, Side Kicks operates as a marketplace, meaning orders are fulfilled by independent suppliers. However, that shouldn’t result in unclear communication or conflicting delivery updates, so we sincerely apologise for the experience you’ve had here.

Based on what you’ve described, this doesn’t sound right and we’d really like to get this properly sorted for you as a priority.

Please could you email help@sidekicks.co.uk with your order details and mark it as urgent? Our team will:

provide a clear and accurate update on your order

investigate the conflicting courier information

offer a resolution straight away if there has been a supplier issue

If this has taken too long and you’d prefer not to wait any further, we can also arrange a full refund for you.

We’ve also added store credit to your account as an apology for the delay and confusion caused.

Thank you for your patience and for bringing this to our attention - we’ll make sure this is resolved properly for you.

Costumer service Ridicule

You receive the following automatic message :

“This is a no-reply inbox, this message will not be seen by us.

Note:The email has been modified because on trustpilot is not possoble to publish email addresses;

Hi there - we’re really sorry to read this, as we completely understand how frustrating this must have been.

To clarify a couple of points, Side Kicks operates as a marketplace, and in some cases items are shipped from international suppliers. This can occasionally result in import or customs charges, but this absolutely should be made clearer and not come as a surprise on delivery, so we sincerely apologise for that experience.

Regarding the email - it looks like there may have been some confusion with the address shown. Our support team is active and reachable at help@sidekicks.co.uk, and we’re sorry if that wasn’t clear or caused any frustration.

The issue with receiving the wrong colour is also not acceptable, and we’d really like to put this right for you as quickly as possible.

Please email us at help@sidekicks.co.uk with your order details, and we will:

resolve the incorrect item issue

review the delivery charges situation

offer a suitable resolution (including refund or replacement)

If you’d prefer not to wait any longer, we can also arrange a full refund.

We’ve also added store credit to your account as an apology for the overall experience.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback - we’ll make sure this gets properly sorted for you.

It’s been 10 days that I ordered a pair of Nike. No notifications, no answers on customer service at all… Considering the money I spent for it, it’s an absolute shame. Hopefully this message is going to change something…

Hi there - we’re really sorry to read this, especially after 10 days with no updates. We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing that must feel.

This definitely isn’t the experience we aim to provide. As a marketplace, orders are fulfilled by independent suppliers, but you should still be receiving timely updates and communication from us, so we apologise that this hasn’t happened here.

Please could you email help@sidekicks.co.uk with your order details? If you mark it as urgent, our team will prioritise it straight away and give you a clear update. If there’s been any issue with the supplier, we can also arrange a full refund immediately if you’d prefer not to wait any longer.

I wouldn’t bother. List shoes they don’t have then you have to wait ages for a refund. Stay well clear.

Hi there - we’re genuinely so sorry to read this and completely understand how stressful this must feel, especially with your holiday coming up. Not receiving any confirmation or clear updates after placing an order is incredibly frustrating, and we’re very sorry for the worry this has caused.

Please be assured that your order has not been lost. Side Kicks operates as a marketplace, and in some cases confirmation emails or tracking updates can take longer to come through depending on the supplier handling the order. That said, you absolutely should have received clearer communication from us, and we apologise that this hasn’t been the case.

Please email help@sidekicks.co.uk with your full name and any order details you have, and mark it as urgent - we will prioritise this immediately and provide you with a clear update on your order status. If there are any issues with fulfilment, we can also arrange a full refund straight away if you’d prefer not to wait.
We completely understand how important this order is for your trip and we’ll do everything we can to get this resolved for you as quickly as possible. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and again we’re truly sorry for the stress caused.

Please email help@sidekicks.co.uk with your details and reference this review, and we’ll make sure your case is picked up and responded to as a priority. We’re also happy to arrange some store credit as an apology for the inconvenience caused.

FAKE SHOES

FAKE SHOES!
SCAM COMPANY!
AVOID AVOID AVOID
I ordered a pair of trainers on the 24th of February. It took three weeks for them to arrive in the three weeks, I had no updates no tracking updates no shipping updates.
once I had left multiple reviews on trust pilot they was all of a sudden sent out the next day when my shoes arrived the box was bashed. The shoes were fake. They had a sidekicks verification tag on but this tag does not mean nothing. This is a tag they have placed on themselves after not even inspecting the trainer. The trainers smell like plastic. The Nike tick is going yellow. The glue is a mess when I put the shoes on they don’t bend the sole is absolutely rock hard the shoe isn’t even made properly. It slips off the back of my feet can clearly tell the shoes have not been made properly. I have multiple pairs of the exact same trainer from Nike and not one of these shoes looks or feels the way the item I’ve received from sidekicks does when I emailed the company, the woman got a bag on because I wasn’t very polite in my email, but at the end of the day why would I be polite when you’ve ripped me off and sent me out a pair of fake trainers stating they’re not fake when they clearly are? I’ve put in for a return on the website like they told me to do and nobody has got back to me.
I’d like somebody to get back to me with the return as soon as possible because I’m not paying for this item when it is FAKE.
I have already emailed the Help email and nobody has got back to me at all. This company is absolutely useless.
They give you 16 days to return the item then they dont respond for days.

Hi there - we’re genuinely very sorry to read this and appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback.

We completely understand how upsetting it must have been to wait several weeks for your order, receive little communication, and then feel disappointed with the product when it arrived. That’s certainly not the experience we want any customer to have.

Side Kicks operates as a marketplace and all items go through a verification process before being dispatched. However, hearing that you believe the item you received does not meet expectations is something we take very seriously. We would never knowingly sell counterfeit products, so it’s important for us to properly review this case.

We can also see that you mentioned submitting a return request and contacting our support team without receiving a response. If that’s the case, we sincerely apologise — you should absolutely not feel ignored when trying to resolve an issue like this.

Please email help@sidekicks.co.uk with your order number (17646) and reference this review so our team can locate your case immediately. We will review the return request and the concerns you’ve raised about the product and work with you to resolve this as quickly as possible.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we’re very sorry for the frustration this situation has caused. We genuinely want the opportunity to put this right for you.

Best regards,
Team SK

Do not use

Ordered a pair of trainers- I was contacted shortly after stating the size selected was not available - suggested a half size up which I agreed to

Waited 5 working days. I contacted them as no sight of a delivery date which they were unable to provide

And then refused my cancellation stating they were in transit

Do not use

Reply from Side Kicks

Hi there, we’re really sorry to read about your experience and understand why this situation has been frustrating.

When you placed your order, it appears the originally selected size was no longer available with the supplier, which is why our team reached out with the alternative size suggestion that you kindly agreed to. However, we completely appreciate that after waiting several days you expected clearer delivery information.

Regarding the cancellation request, once an order has been dispatched or is already in transit from the supplier we’re unfortunately not always able to stop it mid‑shipment. That said, we absolutely understand how the lack of a clear delivery timeline made this situation frustrating.

Please feel free to email help@sidekicks.co.uk with your order number and reference this review so we can take another look at the order status for you and see what we can do to help from here.

We’re genuinely sorry this experience has left you feeling this way and appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
