Heading says it all really. Had to return first pair of squash shoes as too narrow for my daft feet, but they refunded quickly with no hassle. Even with the free standard delivery things always arrive... See more

Written by the company

We are PDHSports.com, a family run racket sports specialist based in Derby. PDHSports began trading in 1992 when professional squash player Paul Hargrave set up a restringing business and started selling rackets to supplement his squash playing income. We were one of the first racket sports retailers to sell online. We've come a long way since the nineties with a much more sophisticated online presence and recently moved from Duffield to a new warehouse on the outskirts of Derby. We are proud to be one of the few independent, specialist racket sports retailers based in the UK yet also offering worldwide delivery. As official racket testers for leading brands, we test many products pre-launch and we also try to review as many of the ranges we sell as possible so that we can give informed advice. Our YouTube channel, with new product reviews and coaching tips, has now had over ten million views. We stock all major racket sports brands and also work with emerging brands to offer our customers fantastic choice. We secure exclusive racket deals and offer brilliant Bundles and Multibuys which you won't find anywhere else. We don't just have an online presence. Our busy showroom offers customers the chance to try before you buy and we love meeting our customers face to face! Many travel hundreds of miles in the search for specialist advice. We will soon be adding a demo court to our warehouse in Derby and our showroom will incorporate new technology to allow customers to select the perfect products for their level and style of play.

Superb service 5*

Superb service - I have used this supplier by visiting store in person previously so had confidence of familiarity. On this occasion ordered over the 'phone because I was 2 mins prior to 3pm cut off, Parcel was delivered - as I'm not actually local -
( Standard,ie Free of charge delivery!) by DPD courier at 12.30pm next day. I could not have asked for/expected better, Thank you Jamie.

Shoe price was also very competitive - so a very happy customer.

Stealing or not stealing…

Hello ,

You mentioned that you are happy to help, however when I emailed you asking how your disappeared. I haven’t received any help from your side , neither your liase with Evri as you said.

Can you send me the sandals at least I can try to sell them and cover this mess…

I repeat, when someone opens box that doesn’t owe, change 200£ value worth shoes with cheap sandals and pack it again it is not a mixing up it is a stealing. Not sure why you are still trying to avoid this terminology.

We have returned the sandals to you which are from another retailer (not ourselves) today. As previously stated, please let us know if we can assist with the case you have raised with Evri regarding your missing return and we are happy to provide any relevant information to them to support your claim with them. Kind regards pdhsports.com

Changed my delivery address promptly after order confirmation and racket received on the 2nd working day

Ordered a squash racket on Thursday night, but realised that my session was still on with my previous address on (it would have been a good point without moving home).
I sent a message through the website and replied to the order confirmation. I got a confirmation on Friday morning that the delivery address had been changed, and I received my racket on Monday through a really professional delivery from Royal Mail 48h.
I can't wait to try the racket!

First experience with PDH, good, good,good

Purchased two pairs of tennis shoes (Adidas)
Had Adidas for past 20 years but these ones just cut my feet badly.
Pdh were very fair in taking a return and after some misunderstanding made good on a refund.
Would certainly recommend them, they feel like they are a company that actually cares about customer service. Deliver was quick and efficient.
Will shop there again.

You need to arrange your own return! Beware of the costs..

PDH sports does not facilitate the returns in any way, unlike other online shops. I placed a larger order but had to return it since I did not want the items. To my surprise, I had to organise my own courier, which was not only time-consuming but cost me over £16 -whereas I only paid £7 to have the items delivered to me.

What sort of online shop does not facilitate returns in any way? Surely, as a business, you have access to better rates than consumers do - why don't let customers benefit from this if you want them to shop from you? Completing disregarding providing a returns service is, in my opinion, really poor and leaves customers with unexpected costs. I will not shop again from PDHsports until this is sorted.

Excellent company!

This company is an example of how online shopping should be. I made an enquiry online about a racket and I got an email back Straight away Answering my query, 3 or 4 email exchanges/ Q & A’s later I made an online purchase and promised delivery the next day. I ordered at 2:30 received the next day at 11am. Perfect packaging and product. Thanks you. Highly recommend!

Great service and value

used them often throughout the years. Always had great service and keep using them as good value. Tend to buy from them as competitive and worth it for the fantastic customer service.

Excellent Service

Ordered a Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 X-Speed Squash Racket which arrived very quickly. Great racket and excellent service from PDH Sports. Emailed regarding tracking and had a response very quickly. The also do a 10 day trial of rackets which was a good reason to order from here. Tried mine with the cellophane on handle. Know friends who purchase 2/3 and then return what they don't get on with.

Prompt and easy service. They answer the phone too !

I was let down by prodirecttennis who verified my order but failed to deliver and I could not phone to cancel the order as their call centre and online chat was closed during a normal working day.

I then went to PDHsports based on Trustpilot reviews and they sorted the same order for £10 less and threw in some free balls. I went for free delivery and the new racquet arrived sooner than I was expecting.

My top tip is to call the telephone number before you place any order with online tennis firms to confirm they repond. PDHsports answered right away.

Happy to try PDHsports again for my next order.
