Don't order from these thieves

Ordered a ski jacket 5 weeks ago. Paid by Paypal from a US $ account, so money had to be converted. Received a refund out of the blue today with a note saying the order had been cancelled. The refund was automatically converted back to US $. Due to conversion charges and exchange rate movements, this has cost me $5. I don't have any goods, just a $5 loss which I had to wait 5 weeks to receive. No reason given why they cancelled this order and no apology either. Absolute cowboys, do not order from them.

Very poor experience.

Very poor experience.
I ordered some skis, paid for them and they were marked as dispatched.
I was sent a tracking link, but it did not recognize the item.
After several emails to them and waiting another week, I received an email saying that the order had been cancelled and that the supplier would not send to the UK.
I replied asking if the real reason was that the item had been oversold.
The reply said that if I had an address in Europe the skis could be sent
I do not have a European address.
Undeterred, I offered to arrange my own courier and received a reply simply saying that this facility was not offered.
I then asked if they would send them to a hotel in Italy where I will be in January. Not ideal but a solution for me.
They said they would enquire and get back to me. I've heard nothing.
I feel like I've run a marathon, when the company should have never offered these skis for sale if delivery was impossible.
They seem inept in both accurate communication and also lacking in basic consideration in the way I was treated.
This was my first attempt to buy anything from them, and In spite of their slick website, I don't have the will to go through all that again.
Buyer beware!

Good morning!
I am sincerely sorry, indeed we made a mistake, because we should not have offered you delivery to the address indicated when placing your order. Following a computer bug, this was validated by mistake. Please excuse us once again. I tried to find a solution for a shipment to Europe but unfortunately it was refused because it was too complicated for us to set up. I am sorry that you had the impression of not having been taken into consideration by our services and that you now have a bad image of us. I wish you a nice day.

Terrible customer service

Placed an order 2 weeks ago, and it just got lost in the meantime. I have contacted customer support a couple of times and I have been put on hold for 30 days, until they get an answer from the courier. On the order it said it will be delivered in 5-7 working days. Since I am preparing for a marathon race and will be needing the equipment as of this weekend, I will have to place a second order with a more reliable company and pay double just because Private Sport Shop decided to have terrible customer service and be the most unreliable shop on the market. Try to stay away as it does seem like it is a scam site. Go place your order somewhere else.

Spammed and can’t unsubscribe

Didn’t sign up and never purchased. Started receiving spam emails from them. Hit unsubscribe and select no more only to be told ‘settings can’t be saved’. Doesn’t inspire confidence even if I did want to buy.

No problems, good price and shipped on time

Having read some of the negative reviews, I was little hesitant about ordering, but decided to risk it. I’m glad I did. My item was shipped within 48 hours, as promised, and arrived quite quickly. It was in perfect condition and I could tell that the box had never been opened. The price was very good. The postage was a little higher than normal, but not bad considering it came from France. I would definitely consider buying from this site again.

Overall Experience

I do pay attention to reviews and finally decided to write my own for this discounted online shop.
I have ordered on several occasions, so I do have a first hand and solid shopping experience with them.
-Always got what I ordered, no issues here at all.
-Well packaged and delivered with a reputable courier company.
-Great customer service at least emailing, was nice to give me a voucher as well once.
-4 stars because shipping costs could be much lower on small orders - sometimes delivery can be equal to the price of the product.
-Ridiculous to ask customers to cover the return expenses themselves. NO OTHER ONLINE RETAILER like Zalando for example forces you to do so. You have to push and ask for return labels to be provided at the cost of the company.

Poor

I ordered an item on 3rd Dec. By 13th Dec the shipment had not arrived so I contacted Private sport Shop. After 10 days they told me to get in contact with the shipping company. Should they not do that themselves. 22nd Dec - still my item has not arrived and this company has washed their hands of it. Very shoddy service

Useless company and waste of time...

Ordered an SUP promoted on their UK website. Was advised the parcel was shipped and received a tracking link. After checking the link regularly across a 4 day period I noticed the delivery company had said the item was now being returned to the sender. Contacted the company by phone. They said they would get back to me with an update. The update came via an email saying they do not ship items like this to the UK. So no product was received. This item was purchased for an upcoming holiday. I am now unable to order a replacement in time. So I ask why were they promoting it on their UK website? Why do they allow you to make the purchase if this is the case? Why did I have to identify the issue myself? What a waste of time! Avoid this company

UK watch buyers beware!!!!!

UK watch buyers beware!!!!!

Watch got stopped by UK customs as no tax for the importation of the watch had been paid. Thought they would have taken this into consideration in the origonal price or at least made you aware of addtional charges at point of sale.

Fully expect to pay 20% more than the advertised price and don't expect any help from customer services, you are 100% on you're own to sort it out.

Contacted customer services three times no response left hanging.

Not a good experiance at all, 0 Stars!!!

Update

Paid the tax and the watch is the white version ordered the black version Ffs.

Raging!!!

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your feedback. We are really sorry for the inconviniences that you experienced with us. We just would like to inform you, that due to Brexit it is possible that the customer has to pay for an additional tax which depends on product(s) and the value of it´s in the parcel. In this case you can contact us with the proof of the invoice so that we will refund you the VAT that you paid on PSS for the items in the parcel.

We also would like to add that your case has been always followed up by an employee and every information was given to you.

In order to apologise for the experience, we have created a voucher on your Privatesportshop account. The code will be visible on your account in the "vouchers" section.

We remain at your disposal for any additional information and wish you a great Day.

4 Stars only because of the costumer…

4 Stars only because of the costumer service, too stupid to write a adress correctly on the package I waited 3-4 weeks for a order and the parcel was shipped back to the sender because of the falsely written adress. Never got my stuff.

Disappointment

They cancel orders cause they are out of stock, but can't be bothered to send an email to inform you. You'll know when you get a random refund from paypal. And don't expect a refund for the extra money you paid for delivery, they won't include it.

Good Service to Ireland

PrivateSportShop.FR

Products came in time for those with a longer shipping date, items marked 48 hours shipping usually took longer than that to ship. Overall a good service and no issues with returns at all, they provided me with free return shipping label as well!
