Worst customer service

Worst customer service , delivered wrong item , ordered women’s Asics , received men’s Adidas! Then , instead of trying to help , they could have organised the correct item to be sent to a store for me to collect , I have to go to the post office again and wait for refund to reorder !!! What a waste of my time , youve lost me

Hi Susanna, we’re really sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this would be, especially after receiving the wrong item.

We understand your frustration with the return process, needing to wait for a refund before reordering, and the wasted time this has caused. This is something we are currently working on to improve, and your feedback has been shared with the team as part of that process.

These company is a disgrace

These company is a disgrace. They don’t have any customer service. I called the Frankston store realising that they were answering the phone and just putting it down on the counter. I heard the conversations between the customers and the silence between each sale.
I know this because I actually went to the store rang them and saw it happen right in front of my eyes. There was one customer in the store and four staff members on. When asking the supervisor about the store policy regarding answering the phone and she blamed the casual staff member. As a supervisor you are there to supervise your staff. This proves to me that this is absolutely a store policy to pick up the phone and put it down. All I wanted was to know if they had a particular pair of shoes that you had the night before and that size and to have it put away for me to pick it up immediately after work. Clearly the store supervisor had a chip on her shoulder when she gave an empty apology. Are used to spend a lot of money in this store, I will not be any more.

Hi Emily, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the difficulties you faced trying to enquire about a product. What you’ve described isn’t the level of service we expect from our teams, and we completely understand your frustration.

We are taking your comments seriously and will be reviewing the store’s phone answering protocols and staff supervision with the team. We’d also like the opportunity to look into this further, so please feel free to contact us at customercare@jd-sports.com.au with some additional details.

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.

Ruined my sons Birthday

Typical of this company, advertise their online sales, you order, you pay and then later get a refund because they don’t have stock. What e-commerce system are you using that allows orders when you have no stock available. Bad management. Won’t be ordering again. Ruined my sons birthday

Never again will I visit JD Sports Eastland

I received the worst possible customer service at Eastland JD. The Manager was the rudest person I have ever come across. I simply wanted to exchange a pair of runners for a different size. I explained to the manager that when I purchased the shoes, I advised the sales person (who I have to say was fantastic) that I didn't need the box. He never once advised me that I would need the box in case of an exchange. The Manager responded with "I am standing by my staff and I know he would have told you". I responded with "therefore you are calling me a liar and I have a witness to prove what happened". He then proceeded to tell me that this is store policy. The friend who was with me at the time (who also purchased a pair of runners) asked how we were supposed to know that. The Manager's response was "It's on the receipt. Can you read". At this point we left the store, and I contacted their customer support line. I was advised that they could not overrule what the store manager had said. Their solution was to try another store and see if that manager would swap them - are you serious? That wasn't an option. I asked for the Manager's name, and was advised that they don't keep that information - again, are you serious? Will never revisit this store or any other JD Sports store. The Manager at Eastland needs many lessons on how to treat his customers, and he also needs to ensure that his staff are trained properly.

⭐ 1 star – because I can’t give less

JD Sports Blacktown are selling bad and faulty stock. My son under 16 bought a pair of Nike shoes, and after wearing them once, the fabric at the edge of one shoe tore. This is not wear and tear — it is clearly defective stock.

When I returned to the store, the manager refused a refund, replacement, or store credit. The way my under-age son and I were treated was unacceptable and disrespectful. There was no accountability and no customer care.

To make things worse, JD Sports online customer service is just as poor. They simply said they “cannot override the store manager,” which shows a complete lack of responsibility and understanding of Australian Consumer Law.

This matter has now been escalated to Fair Trading, and I am waiting for the outcome.

I strongly warn customers to be careful buying from this branch. If something goes wrong, don’t expect support, quality service, or fair treatment.

Delightful service by Sina Werribee store

After a passing through visit I have to say I had a surprisingly delightful customer experience at JD yesterday.

I waked in and out very briefly with my mother and brother. Before we could escape we were touched by a big smile and eagerness to serve from a young lady named Sina. It was honestly just a quick browse by my brother, but after being delighted by Sina I just had to ask her name and thank her for the experience as well as congratulate her on her next level service delivery.

It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced that at any retail store, a genuine attempt to connect and reach us as customers in a warm, bright manner.

I hope you take note and seek to adopt this as culture in your business where I’ve not experienced bad service but I have to say have not being excited about the service there previously.

Even though we were only passing through yesterday, Sina left a lasting impression and when I return to the shopping centre in January to purchase my children runners for the year, I would be attending JD first in the hope that Sina would be there to bring joy to the occasion .

Don’t shop at JD Sports

Don’t shop at JD Sports Southland Store. I returned 2 items but only 1 item was refunded. I didn’t received confirmation email that I was told I would and the girl serving me took a photo of her screen as proof of return but (only realised 2 days later) photo didn’t have anything on it. I contacted JD Sports customer service and after several emails back and forth I was told that the there is no sign of the Nike shorts (because the staff member obviously took them!) so there is nothing they can do so I’m $40 out of pocket

I bought a pair of reebok pump

I bought a pair of reebok pump , the pair sent out both pumps not working got told by customer care I would have to take them into a store to be assessed, the store clerk didnt asses them juat said what is a reebok pump I've never heard of them before and basically had zero knowledge about shoes , then instead of sending my shoes back and ordering replacements , refunds my card and said I have to repurchase them but I won't get my refund for up to 10 days but I needed to pay dor rhe next pair now , I asked if a message would be sent to make sure another faulty pair wasn't sent but apparently thats impossible and I would have to wait again take my chances that they didn't arrive broken, what customer care tells you and what actually happens when you go instore is two different stories, I wouldn't recommend anyone buy online or in store, it felt like buying a car from a rug salesman, absolutely no idea what they are selling. More like the jester of trainers definitely not the king 🙄

I went into charlestown store as they have a sign out the front saying "if its not here its free" go to the keoisk. So i roamed around the store and there was 6 staff members and i was walking around for 20mins. With no help. Then i went to a worker and asked her for what i was looking for and she was like " um i dont know where it is" . So i asked about the if its not here its free and she had no clue what to do. So left the store and went to another store and got what i wanted. Im not happy at all

1/10

1/10

Waited 4 days for them to tell me there's no stock after making the purchase and them accepting payment.

I ordered 3 items, 2 were cancelled so I've paid the shipping for a pair of socks, and lost out on the shoes and t shirt

I've had 30% of my orders cancelled by the business.

Will be going to the ACCC next week.

Sick of it.

Paid but never delivered

Bought my son a shoe to be delivered to our home. The first week of school holidays he was waiting by the front door. After 2 weeks from order, we called the store and the customer service representative was dismissive and rude. I found out that there was a system error, and the shoes were not coming. There was no notification. I was told that I had to go to the store to get my refund. Please buy off other shoe companies as I feel this one thinks they have the monopoly.

Wrong items | Slow Response

Delivered the completely wrong items. Then I had to return them myself to get a refund. I was offered a discount code that could only be used on certain items. Customer service took over a week to respond. Overall it was a bad experience
