Would NEVER purchase from this company…

Would NEVER purchase from this company again.

My order was returned by the courier because the sender requested it, yet I was never informed by Sports Edit. I only found out by checking the tracking myself.

I reached out multiple times for an explanation and received no clear response. Then, over a week later, they simply cancelled my order with no proper communication or resolution.

Really poor customer service and a complete lack of transparency — incredibly frustrating experience.

Dear Charn, we’re very sorry to hear this. This does not sound like our usual level of care at all - our team is always there to help regarding unexpected delivery/shipping concerns and issues.

Unfortunately, your shipment on this occasion failed with the courier, which was completely outside of our control. As a result, your order was processed as a return and refund in line with our standard procedure, and email communication was sent to explain this.

We’re sorry again for the disappointment caused, and really appreciate your feedback here.

We are always here to help,

I had such an outstanding experience with Sofia from customer support! She went above and beyond to resolve my issue with faulty Varley Spencer socks, handling everything with genuine care, professionalism, and efficiency.
Thank you so much, Sofia! I truly appreciate your support and kindness throughout the process. It made a huge difference. I absolutely love The Sports Edit and have always had a great experience with their products, which made your understanding and swift help even more appreciated.
Sofia is a real credit to the team- friendly, attentive, and incredibly dedicated to customer satisfaction. Many thanks again for turning this into such a positive experience!

Very disappointed

⭐ 1 Star – Extremely Disappointed

I’m honestly shocked. My delivery photo just shows a doorstep — nothing to prove it was actually delivered to me — and I never received my order. I contacted The Sports Edit several times, but they refused to assist and have completely ignored my emails.

I expected much better customer service from a retailer of this size. I’m now having to take this up with my bank because I’ve been left with no goods and no help.

Really disappointed and would not recommend based on my experience.

Update in reply - A photograph of a parcel left on a doorstep is not something I would class as a “secure delivery.” I am both shocked and disgusted that anyone would consider leaving £250 worth of goods unattended on a doorstep and classing this as “secure delivery”

Furthermore whilst my 1st email was responded to by an extremely unhelpful agent, my further 3 emails sent since have all been ignored , which I can see on other reviews here seems is a recurring issue with the so called “customer service” at the sports edit!

My bank are now pursuing a chargeback against this

Dear Susan, we’re very sorry to hear how upsetting this has been. We completely understand how frustrating it is when you’re unable to locate your parcel.

We can confirm that your ticket was responded to within the same hour, and the delivery information provided to us showed the parcel as securely delivered to your property. As a result, we recommended checking with family members or neighbours in case it was missed.

Missing items

Order placed on line. Delivery was quick but when the parcel arrived the bag was partially torn open and 3 items were missing. I emailed sports edit. and the next day Sophie got back to me apologised for the issue and confirmed that she has re sent the missing items. Thank you Sophie for sorting out this issue so quickly and professionally.

Swift responce

I can only speak personally that when I complained about walking shoes that weren’t waterproof as advertised, I contacted SE who swiftly sent me the return and refund details.
I would buy from SE again.

Exceptional customer service

Not only does this site have lots of brands to choose from but delivery was exceptionally fast (24 hours from order to delivery). Speedy returns and refund process and speedy customer service. When one of my items arrived faulty, they quickly resolved via email. Already a fan of the brand but even more so now

excellent customer service

I ordered a pair of Veja trainers that were delivered to me on 29 December 2025. Unfortunately the pair that was delivered to me had a blemish/fault. Luckily the customer service was excellent and I received a refund from The Sports Edit on 2 January 2026. Thank you for being so prompt and understanding even though this occurred during the busy festive season.

I won’t be using this site again due to a disappointing customer service experience.

I purchased training shoes for gym and weights use and reasonably expected them to withstand a short 10–15 minute treadmill warm-up. I was surprised to be told this was not considered appropriate use, particularly given the price point of over £100.

When I raised this query, I found the response I received to be dismissive rather than helpful. I had hoped for a more constructive and customer-focused approach to resolving the issue.

As this appears to be the final point of contact, I won’t be taking the matter further and will instead choose to shop elsewhere in future.

Dear Jess, we’re really sorry to hear this. Upon reviewing your ticket, we can see that there was some confusion regarding your trainer usage, which they are designed for gym training and stability, rather than running, which is why they may not have felt comfortable when used for that purpose. This does not mean that the trainers are defective or faulty in any way.

We apologise for any confusion caused, and while we appreciate this wasn’t the outcome you were hoping for, the trainers are still suitable for their intended use. For running, we’d recommend a dedicated pair of running trainers instead.

Ordered a sizable order no response from emails

Ordered a sizable order, received a strange email request from them, replied and then no order sent after 6 days, no refund and no one answers emails, even tried Facebook and instagram messages that are just ignored. Just want the order or a refund so I can shop with a company that wants to supply goods. And they replied nearly 3 weeks later what terms and conditions? Joke company avoid

Dear Darren, we’re really sorry to hear this. I'm afraid following our verification process, your order was in breach of our Terms & Conditions, so it was cancelled, and a full refund has already been issued.

We appreciate this may have been frustrating, but these checks are in place to help protect both our customers and our business.
