Be careful if purchasing from JD Sports

I would not recommend purchasing from JD sports. They have incorrect size charts linked to their products & then will argue back and forth about this fact which is there in black & white. Was not happy with their false advertising & subsequent poor customer service. Be very careful.

Zero Rating for JD Sports: non existent customer service

The worst online shopping experience I have ever had. I was sent the wrong shoes and JD sports would not send the correct ones, stating their system did not allow them to recreate an order. They would not refund my money until I returned the wrong shoes they had sent me. So I ended up wit no shoes, time wasted on WhatsApp, email, phone and had to leave work early to get to a post office on time to post shoes back to them. It was their error yet they would do nothing to resolve. A total breach by them of consumer guarantee to receive product ordered. A big red flag. Have now ordered same shoes from iconic. I ordered black Adidas vegan size 13 from JD and received Lacoste leather size 10. To not immediately remedy the situation send me the shoes I had ordered, saying their system does not allow them to recreate an order, is a flawed system that is surely in breach of a customers right to receive the product ordered. First and last experience with this company. Buyer beware.

Hi there,

We do apologise that you had not received your order as expected.

There are times where mistakes can happen during our pick and pack process. We do raise this with the relevant department for training and quality assurances.

It is correct that we do not have a system that can re-create orders. Hence, why we are unable to send you out another pair.

We do request customers to send back the item the received for a full refund. For your order, we approved to process a refund on the first scan of your return parcel, to save waiting until it was returned back to our warehouse.

We do appreciate the feedback you have provided us and will take this onboard.

Thank you,
Team JD

Do not order online from this company!
Go to the shops, at least you'll get your item.
I ordered a shoe online and never got it. They will not return calls, emails or messages. Forget trying to get a refund. Now I'm trying through the bank to stop the payment, which is a nightmare.
THEY ARE A RIP OFF.

Bad service Blacktown

I bought shoes in your Blacktown store yesterday for my son, if I were able to purchase these shoes at a competitive retailer I would have due to the appalling, rude, least helpful customer service I have ever had. I have worked in the retail industry for many years I understand how and what is is to work with customers, I'm in complete shock and frustration. The other customers in the store were been treated as equally rude or worse. I will never shop in this store again which is ashame because I like JD product.

The worst

The worst! Ordered nearly a week ago and the package hasn’t even left the UK yet. No local distribution. No advice given that you have to wait 2-3 weeks to receive an order. I’m flying out never Wednesday and won’t have the cargo pants I need for the flight. Online ordering issues also. JD’s e-commerce platform and service is the worst.

Cultural problem with Macquarie Park store staff

On Friday evening, I purchased a gift for my partner from JD Sport Macquarie Park. I purchased a pair of shoes and a jumper. The shop assistant placed the purchases in a bag. I took them home and later wrapped them, his birthday was the next day. The next morning, he opened his presents and as we were going out for the day, put the new shoes and jumper on, removing the tags. When we were in the car, we could snell this awful smell. We thought there was something in the car so we took our car to a car wash and got them to do a internal clean, which cost $250. While the car was being cleaned, we went to our planned event. We could still smell this awful smell. We then realised it was the jumper. So he took it off and sealed it in a bag. On the way back from our event, we stopped at JD Sport Macquarie Park to exchange the jumper for a clean one. I had the receipt but not the tags.
The response from your shop assistants was rude and dismissive when I explained the above. They told me that they didn't know what had happened since i bought it, it wasn't in as new condition because of the smell and so it couldn't be returned. Their recommendation was to take it home and air it. I left the store very disappointed by their response.
It is my opinion that you have a cultural problem with your staff in that store, I haven't ever had good service in that store and neither has my partner. It is possible that your staff are wearing your products and then returning them to the shelves for customers to buy.
I will not be shoppimg at JD Sports again and will be lodging a complaint with NSW Fair Trading.

Hi Morag,

We are sorry to hear of your current experience with one of our stores and this is not our expectation for our customers.

An inspection would have been provided before the item was placed into a store bag at purchase. If items tend to have a smell, this would have been picked up prior to purchasing the item.

However, once tags are also taken off and the item has been worn, the item becomes harder to inspect.

We will pass your feedback onto our JD Sports Macquarie store for training and quality purposes.

Thank you for your understanding,
Team JD

If I could give minus score I would

If I could give minus score I would. We went to your cockburn store yesterday and purchased mens size 11(aus/uk) shoes, when we got them home we had been given us 11. When we returned them the store manager was incredibly rude and stated us 11 are aus 11, every other shoe store including style tread confirms men's UK and aus are the same size, when we showed her screenshots to prove this she said I'm just trying to educate you!
Im unsure why JD sports has their own sizing as apparently they match both mens and womens aus size to us size, every other shoe retailer matches womens us and aus and mens uk and aus?
Then when we again stated it she mockingly turned to the staff around her and said, did you hear that, that's the first time I've ever been told that. I've never had such a terrible customer service experience, so incredibly rude, disrespectful and condescending when all she had to do was exchange sizes

Hi Tory,

We are sorry to hear of your experience at our JD Sports Cockburn store. This is not he customer service we expected from our stores and it is very disheartening to hear.

Your complaint has been raised with the relevant department and the store manager will be spoken to for training and quality purposes.

In regards to sizing, AU & US sizes are indeed the same. However, we would be happy to assist further if you'd like to advise your European size, we can then provide you with the accurate sizing conversion.

Please let us know of any additional feedback that you may have, so we are able to review this and implement this in the future. Rest assured, JD Sports takes all feedback on board so we are able to better ourselves as a company and be the best version of ourselves.

Thanks,
Team JD

If I could apply a minus score I would

If I could apply a minus score I would. Tried to exchange a jacket that had been bought less than 2 hours prior because we discovered marks on it. Tag had been removed but I had the receipt and staff refused to exchange. Apparently they can get the marks out so the tag is needed to exchange. No doubt they would sell it at the price of a new jacket too. Had tried to call 5 times prior to driving 1/2 hour back and phone hung up every time. Extremely poor customer service and will never shop here again nor recommend anyone else use this store.
Returned less than 30min after initial contact and was refused the exchange. Never shopping here again

Please Fix your WEBSITE

Please Fix your WEBSITE
Please adapt the EU UK US option in a tab on your webpage to choose shoe sizing. NOT SIZE GUIDE.
I purchased 3 pairs of amazing shoes. I didnt know they were mens sizing. Doesnt give you proper explanation. I ordered my size US9. 2 pairs came in Mens EU42.5, i had to return which left me so disappointed. I wanted these shoes. I Love Shopping at JD, but this has really made me MAD. its happened so often. The Shoes were a Mothers Day Choice (FOR MUM) on the webpage but they UNISEX. Please adapt Footlocker Sizing Tabs to Choose from EU,US or UK. I ended up returning and buying 6 pairs off Footlocker Webpage coz of the simplicity and quick purchase turnaround.

Please fix it.

What is taking you so long to deliver?

Over 10 days since I purchased online and still no sign of my goods
Tracking information on website is useless
Portray themselves as a local retailer - goods come from over overseas. Heaven help me if I have to return them for some reason.
Should have read other reviews before purchasing.
Hope they don't go broke before my goods are delivered.
NEVER AGAIN!!!

Terrible management (Frankston Store)

Terrible management (Frankston Store)

A whole row of a particular pair of kids Jordan shoes were advertised as “take a further 20% off”. After confirming this with two staff members and proceeding to purchase we were charged full price.

We then queried the management and were aggressively told that these items were not actually on sale and they did not have to honour this according to consumer law.

While we were disputing the price another staff member quickly pulled the sale tags off the particular shoes in question.

Really bad vibe in this store with the staff communicating via radio which, when serving you is akin to trying to talk to someone whilst they are on a phone call, completely void of customer interaction. Clearly no one has any idea what is going on either. As a franchise, please change your approach and ditch the radios in an effort to save a few dollars.

Will never shop here again.

Online Customer service is an absolute joke. Dealing with Ella and Alison, both not helpful at all.
Ordered items online, 2 items never arrived and because I did not respond within 14 days they apparently can not do nothing.. but can still keep the money for items which were never sent even though they could not send me any proof of delivery from their end. Joke.

Hi Sal,

We apologise for any inconvenience cause however we can see your parcel was delivered on the 6th of December 2022 and the first contact was made a month after on the 7th of January in regards to missing 2 items.

Although the contact was made later we provided you with a Missing Parcel Declaration form to print and hand sign as a confirmation from your end of the missing items, we also advised the form needs to be returned to us within 14 business days. You have returned the form to us 3 months later which has now well over exceeded the timeframe.

We understand things can come up and get in the way but we also have policy's and procedures in place and it should be made a priority if you are missing items so we could investigate and initiate the refund as soon as the parcel was delivered.

Unfortunately as you have failed to comply with our timeframes advised we will not be able to amend anything moving forward.

Regards,
Team JD
