Dealing with the Sports Room was great…

Dealing with the Sports Room was great - but my package was delivered to the wrong address even though my eircode was on the package. This caused a bit of hassle. Thankfully the lady in the house was honest and contacted me

It's good to see there's still some honest people out there. I know my sister wasn't so lucky with a present she sent to a friend. Someone has a nice new jumper somewhere! Glad it got there in the end...

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very positive experience buying online with this shop.

Very helpful staff quick response by email to questions I had. Delivery was very fast. Overall a very positive experience. The Asics runners I bought are really comfortable. I'm used to wearing Brooks so it took a while to adjust to the different feel underfoot but I'm I'm happy to keep them.
