The shoes I bought were too small (my bad) but no response from the company when I have requested I exchange for a larger size!

Hopeless and to compound their hopelessness they use the worst courier company in the world, Fedex. Won't ever buy from them again. No comms and I had to push them forward by making a claim through Paypal. Then the useless couriers, Fedex, took ages not to deliver, sending the package from Italy to France to the UK to Germany to the UK and then didn't deliver when they said they would. A terrible experience so save yourself some heartache and give them a miss. Now claiming a refund through Paypal

Really disappointed

Really disappointed in Sparco as I had heard good things. The shoes came up much bigger than usual. I asked to exchange them and was told they no longer did exchanges and the only option was to return them at my cost (£9). I printed the label and took a day off work. The courier didn’t turn up so I wasted that day of leave. Now trying to get it rebooked.

No shoes, £9 poorer and having lost 2 days leave, it feels more like dealing with a difficult eBay seller than a large company.

Please be warned !

Please be warned about this companies returns policy. They want to charge £9.95 for every item returned even if it is one order.
I would not have purchased anything if I had realised but their web site at the time said free returns, which has now been changed.

Cheap Chinese quality

Cheap Chinese quality, worn out within a month with casual wear, not everyday use.
I fear sparco have sold out there name as this is not the quality of the sparco racewear
I would avoid at all cost

NOT BASED IN THE UK!

Misleading website ending with co.uk pretending to be in the UK.
I sent back shoes for refund, had to go through customs declarations which I am not used to fill forms like this, and still have not received refund.
I hope the site will be taken down, I will report it so that they won’t trick many more people. I searched whole page and it doesn’t say anywhere that they ship from abroad. They say they ship IN MAINLAND UK which is not true. They ship TO UK- from Italy. Do not buy from them.

Excellent

Prompt delivery, excellent product. Ordered shoes on Monday, delivered as promised on Friday. Fit as expected (ordered one size larger than normal). Check size guidelines for the shoe style you are ordering.

Initially mixed feelings but all good...

I really like my Sparco sim racing clothing and equipment so I was interested to try Sparco Fashion. Below is an honest review of my experience.

What I liked:

The website is professional looking, clean and simple to use and their email follow up about items left in my basket made me smile and offered a further discount so I decided to purchase.

They were very quick to follow up questions via Facebook Messenger with friendly customer support.

The shoes arrived in 5 days, in perfect condition and the correct size and are exactly what I wanted.

Fed Ex kept me up to date with regular accurate tracking information.

What I didn't like:

I think company's should be transparent about where they're based and where your items will ship from so that you can make an informed decision about your purchase.

When you discover a company with a .co.uk website is actually based in another country, its inevitable that alarm bells will start ringing, especially after Brexit.

I had genuine concerns regarding hidden costs on a previous online shopping experience so I aired this concern politely on the Sparco Fashion Instagram page.

They deleted my comment, along with those of someone else who had had a negative experience with Sparco Fashion. Thats not good practice in my opinion and doesn't give new customers any faith in the brand.

Overall though, I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy again.

Items arrived really quickly and at a great price. They were posted from Italy and all credit to Fedex for delivering them to me, as the address label ONLY had my name and post code on it and nothing else! Might explain why other customers never receive their orders!!!

Didn't have the sizes

Never got the shoes. The website is a joke. It says the have the size in stock but don't. They emailed me asking if I wanted to pick another pair. I must have gone through 4 or so pairs that showed in stock in the correct size but was told each one was out of stock.

After over a week of trying to sort and alternative pair, they refunded me. Refund came through quote quickly in all fairness. However as soon as I had been refunded, the original pair I wanted were again shown in stock in the correct size. An email to the company confirmed it was another error on the website.

Regardless of what they have for sale, I don't think I would buy from them again

Ordered a Pair of Trainers

Ordered a Pair of Trainers, Paid ! Advised of Delivery from Fed Ex by 6 PM Friday February 12th. No Delivery.
Message from Sparco say delays due to Custom Changes ! Why did Fed Ex give a Tracking number & an ETA ? Sparco do not return emails !
I should have looked at Trust Pilot before I ordered.
Disgrace of a Company, No phone number either !

Very slow to refund.

Speedy delivery, unfortunately my £175 order had to be returned as the shoes are very narrow. I sent them back through their returns system which isn't the best.
It arrived at their depot in Germany - yes, Germany, and took over 2 weeks to refund after arriving there. I had to email a few times, they asked for the tracking details, I suspect they lost it. As if by magic they refunded straight away after leaving a negative review on their facebook page. As it took so long to refund, I had to pay my credit card bill as the refund was so slow.

No refund.......

Ordered one pair of shoes, too small, so returned. process and comms slow at that stage but ok. Ordered bigger ones, arrived, reasonable quality so far. So I don't think they are a total scam.
However I cannot get them to refund me the cost of the returned pair which they have now had for over a month, as proved by their own postage tracking.
No comms, no refund, awful. Starting Creditcard dispute to get my money back.

no communication and likely fake

Ordered a size bigger as advised but they were way too small. No size bigger than a 12UK so asked for refund and return address - NOTHING! No sizing or material construction label on footwear/ box so suspicions aroused. Next step Paypal and trading standards - avoid..

Worst on line service I have ever experienced.

Ordered and paid for delivery of a pair of shoes on the 8th July. It is now the 28th July and despite numerous contacts with Yodel no delivery and no idea where my parcel is. Sparco don't answer their emails and are totally unresponsive. I want a refund. Would not recommend this company, it is the worst on line service I have ever experienced.

Worst Experience with Sparco

The experience with Sparco UK is very very bad. The shoe from this brand is what I wanted to own, but now I will never suggest this company to anyone. It's been over a month now and the product has never reached me. The company (Yodel) they hired for their courier job is a shoddy one which lies on your face. Trust gone completely on this company. Never again will I be able to trust and buy anything from this company.
